KIND Tracksound

Revision as of 23:59, 3 February 2010

KIND Tracksound assets are configurable tracksounds (that is, the rail-wheel 'whoosh' noise, not the 'clickety-clack' noise). They can be tagged onto track splines to change the character of the sound depending on location - e.g. tunnels and bridges using a different sound to plain track.

Wave files are to be named similar to a diesel enginesound - e.g. 'idle 1.wav', 'idle 2.wav', etc, etc.

How many wave files there are, and when to switch between them, is defined by the 'levels' container.
