Maserati Tribute

[Jiminee]

Morning Lads

Just been working away on a Maserati skin thats very similar to the Brock/Perkins Lemans 1984 Porsche 956 and was wondering if there is an easy way to convinve GTR2 to use the Porsche 993 sounds when I drive the car in game to make it a little more authentic? I tried copying the 993GT2.aud file into the Maserati folder and changed a line in the .car file but I either get no sounds or just the same Maserati ones so I'm stumped.

I would also love to see the wheels from the Mosler appear on this car, is there an easy way to do that to? I had a go but only succeeded in making the car disappear from the showroom. Similar attempt, copy the files into the main Maserati folder, change the .car file but no dice.

I'm new to playing about with this side of GTR 2 so if this all has to get very messy before it will work then I am not too fussed, got too many other things to do to spend too much time on it, but if its a fairly simple thing to accomplish I would love to see it, if not that just leaves me more time to practise for tonight Aussie PnG No Grip League race!

Go the Mini!

Thanks
Jim

Wheels: Can't really help you unfortunately as I'm trying to do the same myself with not the desired results. I'd be interested in any solutions.

Sounds: I'm working on the 2008 version of the Vertigo and have managed to get a Maserati engine in it. My first step was to get the sounds to work with the car by simply copying the lines of the .aud files. Beware! not just copying all the lines but only the names of the sounds to be used. Basically you tell the game to look for a different sound.
After that I changed the .eng file and then you'll need to change the lines lower down in the .aud file where the sample rpms are set otherwise it might not sound right if the sample rpm is too different.
