I have just played on one of the official UnWheel servers and I have found out that quite a lot of people have the same opinion as me:
"Switch the Dixieland [altfire] horn with a horn different for every car!"

I have, before I played on the server, done a little experiment and have found out how to set the specific fanfares.

My suggestion is: post good samples of car horn sounds, I will record some popular 'hornified' melodies and we can put them in the game (if the powers that be agree).

EDIT: First batch of sounds I found, so please mix 'n' match and tell me, which fanfare should belong to which vehicle. NOTE: The usage of any sound with annoying in the filename should be kept to a minimum!!! (They really are annoying!)

I'd say the Bugger keeps the Dixieland fanfare. It somehow seems to match its looks... ;)

Hey are we the 'powers that be'?

Cool! :lol:

As long as it's about UnWheel, yes.

If you are the 'powers that be' outside of UnWheel, that is only the question of the target person's respect/arrogance. Beware of me - I can be simply distracted and even though my arrogance is limited to a small level, you don't want the burning-hot beans spilt upon yourself ;)

I have already found a nice horn sound for the POS (Peacetime Operational State / Peace Off Service / Piece of $#!7) Car & Van: a horn that was sampled by the Epic guys and really sounds like one of these old, nearly-out-of-service car horns. To show the POS *qualities*, I suppose it is Just The One Horn. :D

As for the other horns, I suggest all ye viewers of this discussion thread take a peek at the sounds and assign them to the vehicles they should correspond to (let's say 'annoying_siren' should be used with the Centipede, etc.). I will then check the results, and if more people want different 'right-click' horns on one car, there will be a majority decision.

And now, let us mix 'n' match!

POS does mean Piece of &4£%

However we use the acronym so that underage players who illegally play 2K4 don't go out and kill somebody for drugs money and thus stir the daily mail and many other great newspapers into yet another idiotic news headline.

right, my list of suitable horns for vehicles (all found in ONSVehicle sounds):

Centipede: Lev_horn

SmarMobile and other wacky cars: La_Cucharacha_Horn or Ahooga

That Truck/Monster Truck by Steve Horton: HellBenderHorn01/Horn09

Most Race cars: Horn02

Most Rally Cars: Horn07

Most Monster Trucks: Horn03

The POS Cars: Dixie_Horn

I think it should stay on the trucks for the "Red Neck" factor (trust me, I live in North Carolina). The Bugger should get something like a "meep-meep" horn, or a "oogga" horn :lol: :D
You might want to take another look at the 3 horn sounds from ONS also. The Liviathan has a cool fog horn that might work some where.

I second the request, Please Make more horn sounds. I get annoyed with hearing the dixie horn all the time.
