Silent Satsuma Transmission

This is the NEW AND IMPROVED Silent Satsuma Transmission! Again!

New awesome features of v2. 1 include:

• []The mod actually works again

  []Updated to work properly with MSCLoader!

  []Totally non-invasive, no altering assets files

  []Adjust volume on the fly in game - no reloading necessary!

  []Volume sliders that go up to 11 -- it's one louder!

  []Change forward and reverse gear sounds separately

  The Latest Story:

  This mod was broken big time between 2024 and 2026. It was never designed to work with MSCLoader, but when Mod Loader Pro was retired, we all moved there. This may not have been a big problem, but to make matters worse, I lost all my source code while transitioning my system to Linux. I had to essentially rebuild everything from scratch using only a few screenshots and notes. This took time, but hopefully this new version of the mod is future proof.

  The big upshots of this mod being rewritten are:

  1. I was able to really streamline the code and cut down on the file size.

  2. I reworked the way it loads so that you can adjust the sound of your transmission in game without reloading

  Sorry for the wait!

  The original story:

  At some point after the May 2020 update, I was driving home late one night, all alone with the road and my Satsuma. As my RPMs climbed, I noticed a high-pitched screaming noise that I'd never heard before -- or at least never heard as loud. I thought there was something wrong with my transmission, but after slaving away trying to fix things to no avail, I did some research. I learned that the loud noise wasn't actually a problem, was just the transmission doing its thing. That was a relief, but I still didn't like the sound. My solution was to dig into the game's assets and remove the reference for the transmission noise.

  Well, that solution sucked. It required using UABE (which is a great program btw) to permanently delete things from the game's Unity assets files. That isn't a great way of going about things. My self-executing standalone mod file was also flagged as a virus, so people had trouble downloading it and getting it to work. At the time, I didn't think I'd be able to figure out how to code a "real" mod. Turns out, I was able to cobble together the perfect solution! It took me many more hours than it probably would have taken someone that actually knows what they're doing, but here we are.

  Now that you can lower the sound of your transmission, you might find that you notice how loud the tires sound on the dirt. I think it's a worthy tradeoff. :)
