Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City -- Audio

This topic will document all audio-related materials. All audio is planned to be packaged with the final release, including radio station and SFX files. It will be going to be big but it will be much more convenient for the end user. Script audio and radio stations are mostly completed. Engine, horn, and door sounds for some vehicles are currently incorrect but there exists a hardcoded structure of sound to vehicle association and the conversion from III to VC is mostly completed. The next and final big step is completing the SFX file. Many people have contributed to this file but there is a lack of documentation on how to recreate this to ensure accuracy and completeness. I am in the process of associating all III's SFX file to VC's and documenting as I go, including updating the article on SFX at GTAModding.com.

This is a separate post for menu sounds. So far a simple SFX replacement doesn't seem satisfactory. I have documented every sound generated by the menu of Vice City and most of GTA III (it's messy compared to Vice City). If differences arise, memory hacking would be needed to properly match GTA III.

• Address - Hexadecimal memory address of the value. They are from VC v1.0.
• Value - Hexadecimal value used for the cDMAudio::PlayFrontEndSound (0x5F9960) function. The value corresponds to the array index starting at 0x6B28B8. This allows for a combination of sounds to play for every action.
• SFX - Decimal value representing the sound effect played. Many of the sounds include an additional two or three SFX from this number to create the combination.
• Action - The action needed to generate the sound

There is something odd with the Rocket Launcher and Sniper Rifle SFX. Their clicks when trying to fire them in third-person are both playing SFX 489, a soft insect sound. Their correct SFX should be 329 and 330 respectively. I can't fix this entirely on my end but I've replaced the insect sound with the Sniper Rifle click.

 

Another odd thing is that after using the spray shop, it is playing SFX 495. Can this be fixed?

 

I have uploaded my progress so far on the SFX files onto my site (last updated 2015-06-10):

• sfx.SDT (198,820 bytes)
• sfx.RAW (340,217,780 bytes)

Also check out the temporary update to the main.scm if you want to test all the car SFX. There are some odd behaviors when replacing a few of the sounds so not all sounds from GTA III will be able to make it into LC. Edited August 26, 2016 by spaceeinstein

I spent the past week working on my documentation on ped SFX for both GTA III and Vice City. Check it out at GTAModding. After so many years, their SFX documentation is nearly complete. I realize there are too many differences between both games that changing the SFX files alone may not be a good idea. I'm planning to learn more programming so that I can create custom code for dinput8.dll and have the game read that to get the ped SFX.

I realize there are too many differences between both games that changing the SFX files alone may not be a good idea.

It would be nice to have a mixed version of sfx which has all the standard VC sounds but with III cop, ped, pain sounds included.

I'm sorry for posting in the wrong place, but the question I have here is that which memory addresses control the Ruger's sound ID and it's sound frequency? I need 'em for my mod.

You should post your requests outside this forum, like in the request topic. This forum is specific to the Liberty City mod.

Over here, I Take the GTA III radio station but I Remove the Vice City Station then run the game, the Mod's Say:

Please insert GTA Vice City Disc 2 to drive

EDIT:I Convert the GTA III's Radio station using AudioDecoder

[ConstMan]

Can I turn on Internet radio?
