  • Step 1: Download Unity and Unity Asset Bundle Extractor

    Unity
    Asset Bundle Extractor
    If you have 64 bit press any of the 64 if you have 32 bit press any of the 32. However flashing lights does not run on 32 bit so you should take always 64 bit. You can click any of the "here" or "here" since those are separate link but they give you the same exact files. No stress!


    Step 2: Get Your Sirens

    Now you will have to download your sirens get any sirens you want and create a new folder on your desktop, move these files in and go to the next step.
     

    Step 3: Move your sirens into unity

    After that go ahead and open Asset bundle extractor.

     

    Step 6: Asset Bundle Extractor

    - Go to file

    - Open

    - Go to your folder where you saved your project

    - Go to FOLDERNAME_Data

    - Select "Sharedassets0.assets"

    - Click any of the databases, does not matter which one.


    After that you want to find your sirens, (siren_01 siren_02 carhorn_01) and get the dump files

    Simply click on the file and on the right it will say 'export dump file' simply save that on your desktop or in a folder.

     

    Step 7: Dump Files

    After that simply go to your dump files and rename it to the following:

    Carhorn_01###### to Carhorn_01

    Siren_01###### to Siren_01

    Siren_02###### to Siren_02

    just pretend the # are some random text that is behind the file

     

    Step 8: Open the Dump Files
     

    Open carhorn_01 and go to 1 string m_Source = 'sharedassets0.resource'

    Rename 'sharedassets0.resource' to 'YourSoundPackName.resource' (in my case it would be soundpack1.resource)

    Do this for siren_01 and siren_02 too. It must be the exact same name however you call your soundpack!

    5. Do this also for siren_02 and carhorn_01.

    6. Then you want to press "OK" on the bottom and save it on your desktop. Note: It will export as a resource.assets

    7. simply move resource.assets from your desktop to your flashing lights_data folder and replace that with the one you have in FL.

    8. Finally put YourSoundPackName.resource also in the folder and you are done.

    9. Boot up your game and use your sirens, you will hear the difference if you did it right.
