One Click Installation!

This package is unique (and very large) - the idea was to make installation even easier for everyone.
All you need is Soundpad (paid full version: Steam, totally worth it).
Just download the ZIP file and extract the folder to a folder on your hard disk.
Open Soundpad. Then start the file #Train_Announcements_Tokio_VX.Y.spl

(Note: If the .spl file is not at the top, sort the file list by file type or directly search it)

Done! Now you can select the route and the service in Soundpad.
Tip: In Soundpad settings, select a hotkey for "play next file," e.g., Num-8.
Now you can easily play the sounds one after another with your hotkey. Read our hotkey tutorial down below.

We have added a second download.
In this one, the individual files are organized and structured in folders.
This download is for those who want to customize the list in Soundpad according to their own preferences or use a different program.
You only need one of the two downloads.


(how the Soundpad list looks like)

About the announcements

The announcements are now (and in the future) usually arranged as following:

  • An announcement when leaving the station (a short greeting).
  • An announcement before the next station (with informations! These announcements can be up to 2 minutes long at large stations, so play them in good time).
  • There may be exceptions to that pattern, e.g. on Tharandter Rampe
  • There are some optional special announcements with hotkeys. You can change the hotkey if you want to.

Special Announcements
These are announcements for special cases such as delays or the end of a drive, for example due to bad weather.

We are constantly improving:
We are trying to improve the existing announcements. This means better texts and better Voices. So always get the newest version of our soundmod for the best quality.
If you have any ideas or find any bugs/problems, please let us know.

Tip: try out the new announcements (see changelog) with the new, much better AI voice

Tutorials for playing door direction/special announcements with hotkeys:

Door direction/special announcements hotkey tutorial (short)

In Soundpad settings:

  • Set hotkey for "Select next file".
  • Set hotkey for "Play selected file".
  • Set hotkeys for the door announcements (or other special announecments).

In Game:

  • Play the first station greeting.
  • Then use "Select next file" - hotkey.
  • Use „Play selected file“ Hotkey for next stop announcement.
  • Use „Select next file“ – Hotkey
  • Then use your Hotkey for door announcement.
  • Leaving the station "Play selected sound" hotkey for the next greeting announcement.
  • Then the process starts from the beginning…
Door direction/special announcements hotkey tutorial (long)(former readme)

How to use the door announcements with hotkeys?
The problem is, that if you play the door announcement (with hotkey or on second screen by clicking), you "leave" the list of the normal route announcements.
You can't just click on "play next sound" (e.g. via hotkey), because the next sound of the door announcement list would be played, since this is the list where the last sound was played.
To solve this problem, you need to save the place in the list with the normal route announcements (usually in this case it would be the "next stop: xxx" announcement,
which you play before announcing the exit side). A way to save the place is by marking the announcement, since that is independent to the played sound.
Go to Settings and set the hotkey for "mark next sound". Then set another hotkey for "play marked sound". Then you can start your drive.
But don't forget to keep pressing "mark next sound" when playing the next sound in the list.
The marked sound should always be the sound you will play next (example: just left Koblenz, you play the greeting announcement and press "mark next sound" so the announcement for the next station Rhens is marked.)
Then, if you arrive at a station (in this example it is Rhens) and want to do the door announcement (now the greeting announcement which is played after leaving that station should be marked),
just press your hotkey for the door announcement.
After leaving the station, simply press the hotkey for "play marked sound" and you are back in the announcement list. From now on, pressing "play next sound in list" will play the next announcement since you returned back to the list.
Repeat that steps every time you want to play an announcement that is not part of the route announcement list (e.g. Special announcements, door announcements).

Example:

"next stop: Rhens"
-mark the greeting announcement, should normally be the announcement after the one for Rhens-
press the hotkey for the exit direction
"exit on the left/right"
-after leaving the station: press hotkey for play marked sound-
"welcome on board ..."

Repeat that everytime

Hi Could you sort the announcements by folder ? It would be easier when downloading this AIO package

Avatar of Quentin J.

I second that, it's a very nice package but I have my own sound list already set up and I don't want to lose it. It'd be great to have them sorted by folder.

Thanks for the Feedback. I will check this, if it’s possible in the soundpad export. But you can switch between your own soundpad list and this one.

@Quentin J. @eddymrelderscrolls could you tell me exactly what you need/want to do? That would really help me finding a solution since your original question was a bit unclear to me. Thank you

Thanks dude; sure, It would be nice to have announcements packed by routes

Avatar of Quentin J.
Quentin J. 28 Feb 2024

What I meant is keeping the package as an All in One, but having the sound announcements sorted by route folders and possibly services. This would make it easier, but that would double if not more the file size. I've saved my Sound List and will be using yours for your announcements. Thanks for your reply though!

Thanks you for your answers! We are working on a solution for that.(We found a new possibility, but just have to test it)

Avatar of Mor
Mor 1 Mar 2024

Hello. Unfortunately, our original plan (that I had in mind when I wrote my answer two days ago) doesn't work, because you can't relink files in Soundpad. We will probably upload a second file which is just a zip with all anouncements sorted in folders.

Avatar of Mor
Mor 3 Mar 2024

FreezeLP there are hundreds of different gong sounds in different trains, depending on the producer of the train and the railway company, sometimes there is also no gong. But to have the same for every mod, we had to choose one. It would be too much work to use different gongs for each package and no gong would also sound a bit boring.

Man why are you hating people? Nobody forces you to use these mods so stop wrighting such a trsh. If you don't like the announcements just leave this page. There are enough people who like them and are happy about it. It isn't something you paid for or that you have a right on, it is a bonus to the usual experience. So just go crying and leave us alone, thank you.

oh and btw: you "lied" when you said we got little upvotes for that amount of downloads, watch other mods and with some math you will see that there are mods with more downloads and less upvotes, so please don't just write something but check if you are correct with your "critics"

This seems like a very nice mod. But do you have any demo video where the announcements are showcased? Not owning Soundpad yet and before I consider the purchase, I want to know what I get for it. I think a proper mod showcase video could also help you to get more audience to your work.

Avatar of Mor
Mor 13 May 2024

you can just download the mod and listen to the sound files in the zip, so you get a teaser about what it is. Soundpad only makes it easyer to play the announcements while driving. All the announcements are in the zip folder as sound files.

btw I would recomment you to download the file with the sorted sounds so you can search for the announcements you want to listen to more easily. the other file only makes sence for soundpad-owners

Sehr schlechte Ansagen... Der DB Gong vom Bahnhof hat bei den Zugansagen nichts verloren und die Ki Ansagen sind ja der Horror... Vorallem werden nur bei großen Hauptbahnhöfe die englischen Ansagen verwendet.... Nur eine Enttäuschung...

Avatar of Mor
Mor 7 Aug 2024

1.: wenn sie dir nicht gefallen, dann lass es halt, oder versuch es mit konstruktiver Kritik
2.: lies dir vlt mal den Changelog durch. Alle kommenden Ansagen haben eine deutlich bessere Stimme und auch neue Gongs bzw. keine Gongs
3.: In der Realität sind auch nicht alle Ansagen auf Englisch, zudem sind die Ansagen fiktiv, auch wenn wir versuchen möglichst realitätsnah zu sein oder zu werden
4.: Was hast du eigentlich? Wir nutzen unsere Zeit und erstellen Ansagen, welche du dann kostenlos nutzen kannst, und du kommst um die Ecke und beschwerst dich auch noch

Avatar of Mor

Thank you for your feedback. We have plans to add more routes or announcements, and also improve or update the current announcements. This will probably include UK routes too. Unfortunatley I can't tell when because the announcements for a single route can need many hours, depending on the route

wenn du bei jedem Sound den Fehler bekommst, schau mal wie unter dem download beschrieben in den Reiter "About the announcements". Da ja ein neuer Köln-Aachen Fahrplan in Entwicklung ist kann ich leider nicht versprechen dass wir bis dahin die alten Köln-Aachen Ansagen korrigieren

ja aber irgendwie bekomm ich das nicht hin wie es da beschrieben wurde ^^ muss auch zugeben mein englisch ist jetzt nicht das gelbe vom ei. wie ich es jetzt hinbekommen habe ist die liste neu gespeichert und einfach die alten sounds in den jeweiligen routen gelöscht und neu reingezogen so funktioniert das ganze bei mir

Unfortunately, there will probably be no special version without the english announcements, because it would be an extreme amount of work, since all the announcements would have to be redone. Anyways, thank you for your feedback!

Have you considered contacting some announcements creators from omsi? Most of maps there had very professional announcements, often even from the same people as in reality. And they were all freeware addons, so I suppose it was not a paid cooperation either.
