** UPDATE #6 20/11/04 >>
-------------------------------
RBR BeefMod is an audio modification of sounds in Richard Burns Rally Game.
For details of what each mod download changes - scroll further down this post.
*Note: to fully update correctly - install V2.0 (main bulk) / Then V2.1 / Then V2.2 - as each one updates similar sounds per addon.
>> V2.2 (addon) - from BHMS Files section here:
https://bhms.racesimcentral.net/download/7922
Size : 2.5 MB
>> V2.1 (addon) - from BHMS Files section here:
https://bhms.racesimcentral.net/download/7875
Size : 2.5 MB
(New installer with .exe - will install to your RBR game folder & then auto run batch install so no manual installation (unless needed). See readme.txt in the zip for further info.)
>> Download Main BeefMod V2.0 - from BHMS Files section here:
https://bhms.racesimcentral.net/download/7632
Size : 6.5 MB
(New installer with .exe - will install to your RBR game folder & then auto run batch install so no manual installation (unless needed). See readme.txt in the zip for further info.)
>> Patch 1.02 - edited audio.ini for levels with beefmod:
https://www.solmasters.com/audio/audio.zip
Size : 2 KB
(these settings are based on my mod using my own setup - This is a tweak of the audio levels for patch 1.02 using my mod - I felt the environment reverb was a little high (anyway) and also tried a few levels with certain sounds I was fiddling with in my original mod
You may not like it or think its ok - eitherway backup your audio.ini file from you richard burns rally directory and then inzip this audio.ini file to richard burns rally directory. Swap it back if its not to your liking, although now its so easy to actualy fiddle for your own tastes - have a play anyway.  )

Details of mod & updates :
The changes:
----------------------------
v2.2 (Addon) - 20/11/04
----------------------------
- 3 New helicopter effects for replays. 3 Different sound fx replacing original game sounds and an updtae to V2.1, mixed with comms heli radio chatter for authentic feel in replays.
- New siren effect. An update to the original of Beefmod V2.0/2.1 - a mix of 2 air horns and crowed cheer - air horn has a melody - far less bland than original!
- New car exhaust bang effects, replaces all original game bangs to a new set.
- New engine fire sound effect replacing original, more realistic.
- New wind effect in bad weather.
* NOTE : this can be added without my other mod - it only replaces / adds to your existing audio.dat file. If you add to my Main Beefmod - install in sequence : V2.0 / V2.1 / V2.2 - altogether most of the original game sounds have been enhanced and repaced.
----------------------------
v2.1 (Addon) - 12/11/04
----------------------------
- Adds new bird ambient sounds. Replaces originals to new sounds taken from hi quality Forest ambient effects, with more bird chatter. More authentic in replays in UK & Japan stage.
- Added new helicopter sound for replays.
- Added new radiator hiss from actual engine hiss recording.
- Modified new siren sound added in V2.0 - pitched up the sound as the original was a bit boring a flat sounding.
* NOTE : this can be added without my other mod - it only replaces / adds to your existing audio.dat file. If you use my Beefmod V2.0 - add this AFTER you install the main mod. If you havent got the mod - try it out.
------------------
v2.0 - 16/10/04
------------------
Changes since original Beefmod:
** - New installer for automatic packing re-packing of audio.dat
**- Bran new car engine sound from Beefmod V1.0 has been included but is only used on the 2 wheel drive MG car. The engine sound in question is more aggressive, with more prrrrrrr & alot more angry .. grrrrrr, The original engine sound is still the same for all other cars.
- New Blowoff valve - as most refer to as "tweet" sound. 2re's sweeeeet audio tweet - eq'd & leveled and re-tweaked to be shorter.
- New crash speech groans from co-pilot/driver, a total of 6 new sounds added, (one is a little suprise  )
- New siren sound added. Replaces the very limp crowed air horn sound - new horn & added subtle crowed cheer with it. Ive noticed that I only hear this when on replays .. hmmm.
- New menu selection sounds - next & back (reversed) - courtesy of 2re's mod V1 - added reverb.
- New gravel skid effect - original gravel sounds mixed with slight tarmac skid - eq'd & pitched up for a more "skid" effect on gravel
- New transmission sound - submitted on BHMS by 'Blowtus' - Eq'd, Leveled & Raised pitch slightly.
- Turbo whine has been eq'd & pitched, sounds like a thin whistle effect now.
- Enhanced exhaust bang sounds with eq'd leveled - less harsh sounding.
- Leveled version of 2re's tarmac skid to match gravel skid (tested by skiding from gravel to tarmac on training level 1)
- Re-leveled impact / crash sounds with added glass smash effect - (a bit too loud on replay & in car when released in Beefmod v1.0)
- Re-leveled gear change sounds from Beefmod V1.0 slightly louder but still re-eq'd leveled & slight reverb (not as clunky) - so its more natural sounding inside car.
- Ignition sound re-leveled, still eq'd with slight reverb as in Beefmod V1.
- Radiator hiss has been leveled, eq'd & pitched - just a lil' more hissy.
- Ford water splash effect - eq'd and turned down slightly.
- Grass / rumble effects offroad have been turned down slightly - subtle.
- Bird hit sound - more punch & prominent with bird noise added - hopefully you can tell you smashed a bird in the face at high speed
- General gravel / tarmac / snow tyre effect leveled and muffled slightly.
- Service sounds in Championship changed - less chatter and more work! - courtesy of 2re.
- Ambient sounds like helicopter etc have been re-leveled, softer.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE : This mod is loosly based on realism, somethings are subtle and other things were added via sibmitted audio via BHMS forums.

Looks like I'm not the only one who has tested the different eng-files inside audio.dat.

Well its strange once i tried that no one had put a mod out with it, or that SCI didnt implement the different engine sounds that already exist for each car?.
I picked the one that may not represent the cars realisticly but certainly packs more rev & more rumble when ticking over, the strongest engine file out of the selection.
Although I wanted to change somethings a bit more than making them louder ... eg - EQ & Reverb ... some music studio techniques etc.
There are a few audio modders now, so would like to maybe collaborate for a diffinative "audio pack mod" of best bits from all other mods, if other modders would like to get together on it?
I make music & create audio for projects, so Im no skinner or coder, but I like messing with audio - so this is a start. I may update soon with other tweaks, but would like to see others work & also feedback first.

Nice job calius2005. These are much better sounds. I just wish that someone could do something with the sound when you lift off the throttle. That anti lag system sound. Higher pitch and longer. Any chance anyone?

| Tried it but ... sorry don't like it too much. Still can't hear the motor in cockpit view. Are you sure that works in the 1.01 patch (that's the one I ran it on) or only on the original version ? |

Are you saying you cant hear motor in cockpit view "at all"?
I worked on this using patch 1.01 so I know its ok.
AS stated all tested on EAX with Audigy 2 card, so other may hear it alot different. If it not your cup of tea no worries (just hope you backed up you original audio.dat file to go back to it?!)
Im expecting mixed views as audio is down to personal preference, what I think is good may be crap to others LOL  - I will be updating soon with different gravel skid & also trying to get hold of 2re to see if he wants to merge projects ... 2re - I mailed you - if you see this first then PM / email me

codriver doesn't talk when I install this mod, and little else seems changed. other sound mods work ok, so it's not just me stuffing up with dattool.

Tiz odd, as I am using co-driver and its perfectly fine (UK language).
Not very much has changed, indeed - thats why its a patch - some things I missed to put it out as V1.0 earlier so it not a massive update. As you read the readme, it does state the changes.
This patch only adds to files I had in v1.0, doesnt touch any co-driver ini files or any co-driver sounds ... so your problem has lost me? Anyone else with that problem?
Did you install this mod to a clean original audio.dat file? or did you patch and re-pack from a audio.dat upacked version with another audio mod that may have effected specific co-driver files? I say as you mention "other" audio mods work ... cant say mine will work with others in combination as I created this from a fresh original audio.dat. Although as I say - ive only modified audio sounds rather than ini settings.
Will be working alot more with 2re on a future update, nothing for a while but it will be updated.
*** any problems like this - let me know your audio setup & what co-driver language your using .... or indeed if it works ok and your audio setup. Feedback helps for a future fix to make it smooth as silk.

Would like to test your mod, but RBR Mod Utility is not working for me. IS there any chance of making regular istaler instead of doing everything manually?
Would be great! |

Looking into that with 2re - I think that for now this is manual, but things will be updated alot with an installer (hopefully) next ..... Im not a coder just an audio junkie.
Already working on changing some other ambient sounds, some nice little touches going on. Hold back for now and wait for an update - mainly V2.
Wont rush it, try to get it with some options EG: install mod with original car engine or new car engine so you have a choice, for those who dont like it etc. Pretty early stages, first ws to get the sounds edited, then posh it up more as a package later.
All in good time.

calius, I tried both a clean audio.dat and a modified one. Both same result. Using english pacenotes. running eax on an nvidia nforce onboard 5.1 sound card with 5.1 speakers.

Theres about 1000 or so downloads of the files, wish more than 4-5 would report a bit more about probem spec.
Im an audio editing freak, no coder or beta tester. I did this for myself and it works perfect. Typical thing of different systems / different results, doubt I can fix it for every system. Looks like my RBR modding career ends .... oh, hmmm let me think ... about now  . I dont realisticly have the time to realy test it all out.
I will update with 2re and get some testing done ... if we find out as we go that RBR is just funny about audio being messed with then wont take it any further.
Last thing I want is to crash peoples game play ... LOL ... back that original audio.dat up b4 trying this!
