Replace 1.4.5 jet engine sounds? (Make it stop! Make it STOP....)

[Gordon Fecyk]

Who in Billy Mitchel's name picked those jet engine sounds for KSP 1.4? And why did they get so much louder in KSP 1.4.5?

I know my way around part configurations. If I can extract the original jet audio from an older KSP edition, how can I replace the 1.4.5 jet sounds with them?

I wouldn't have minded the change so much if the volume levels were matched better. A vacuum cleaner sound is one thing, but a really loud vacuum cleaner sound is something else!

In any case I can't use Jet Sounds Continued, but not because of the mod; it seems to work fine on stock jets. I'd need to somehow make it work on my own ExV engines and RealPlume-Stock at the same time, and the first few attempts made me go cross-eyed looking at Module Manager errors. I found the KSP 1.0.5 jet sounds though, and I could edit RealPlume's generic jet config to use them.

For most folks, JSC is a good choice.

Please share how you did that

This will veer off-topic for un-modded install tech support, but OK.

Anyone with a copy of KSP 1.0.5 can extract audio from the sharedassets.0 file with some Unity asset browser or another. I extracted sound_jet_deep.ogg and sound_jet_low.ogg from them, put them in some folder in GameData, and edited RealPlume/000_Generic_Plumes/Turbofan.cfg:

	%EFFECTS
	{
		%Turbofan-Spool
		{
			AUDIO
			{
				name = sndjet1
				channel = Ship
				clip = SomeFolder/Sounds/sound_jet_low_105
				//clip = sound_jet_low
			}
			AUDIO
			{
				name = sndjet2
				channel = Ship
				clip = SomeFolder/Sounds/sound_jet_deep_105
				//clip = sound_jet_deep
			}
		}
	}

...and Turbojet.cfg:

	%EFFECTS
	{
		%Turbojet
		{
			AUDIO
			{
				name = sndjet2
				channel = Ship
				clip = SomeFolder/Sounds/sound_jet_deep_105
				//clip = sound_jet_deep
			}
		}
		%Turbojet-Spool
		{
			AUDIO
			{
				name = sndjet1
				channel = Ship
				clip = SomeFolder/Sounds/sound_jet_low_105
				//clip = sound_jet_low
			}
			AUDIO
			{
				name = sndjet2
				channel = Ship
				clip = SomeFolder/Sounds/sound_jet_deep_105
				//clip = sound_jet_deep
			}
		}
	}

Looking back I suppose I could have just adjusted the volume levels here, and kept the KSP 1.4 jet sounds. Maybe I'll do just that.

[Update] No, adjusting the volume in there didn't seem to make a difference.

Thank you

What are you using for your unity browser?

[Gordon Fecyk]

Because I was lazy and didn't try installing Unity itself, I used a standalone asset viewer. Because that's a pretty old edition it doesn't work with Unity 5 asset files, but it seems OK with Unity 4 files, hence KSP 1.0.5.
