|
|
|
|
Please make sure your data is from an appropriate source and unmodified before proceeding, this guide is unable to troubleshoot any problems related to bad or poorly managed data.
|
|
|
|
If you obtained data from a torrent file, make sure you're not seeding the data before proceeding as well.
|
|
|
|
Lastly, for demonstrative purposes, this guide uses SpiceTools, you should consult appropriate documentation and requirements of your desired tools as the setup process is likely to be extremely similar.
|
|
|
|
### Getting Started
|
|
|
|
!!! tip ""
|
|
|
|
Before we even touch the game, let's fiddle with our audio settings to minimize any potential crashing on startup. In Windows, go to `Playback Devices` and then right click on your default device and go to `Properties`. From there, hit the `Advanced` tab and set your `Default Format` to `44100 Hz` and check both of the options inside `Exclusive Mode` as pictured.

|
|
|
|
After downloading your data, the first thing to do is make sure your files aren't set to READ ONLY, make sure to uncheck it from the main folder in the Windows Properties tab if so. Then, put your desired 64-bit tools inside the game's `contents` folder, and to create a `.bat` file. Pictured below is what your folder should look like, feel free to name your `.bat` file anything you desire, for the sake of convenience we've named ours `gamestart.bat`.

|
|
Why does this look different than the usual? This installation includes a `modules` folder that Spice automatically detects, keeping things clean and simple. If your version of the game doesn't have this, it probably has the `contents` folder populated with many different dll files such as the main `soundvoltex.dll`. You should still place your tools here if so!
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Configuring Your Tools
|
|
|
|
!!! tip ""
|
|
|
|
Now that you have your files ready, open up your `.bat` file in your desired text editor (we're using [Notepad++](https://notepad-plus-plus.org/)) and edit it with your desired parameters, for the purpose of this guide we will demonstrate both a local network configuration and an online example below with SpiceTools, skip to whichever you're in need of accordingly and please keep in mind you can add whatever additional parameters you desire.
|
|
|
|
!!! warning "If you're not using SpiceTools:"
|
|
|
|
The overall structure of your .bat file will differ from the guide, namely the initialization of SpiceTools won't be present and potential parameters may differ. As stated above, make sure to check the documentation of your tools to ensure you're using the correct parameters for your needs.
|
|
|
|
### Configuring for a Local Network
|
|
|
|
!!! tip ""
|
|
For our local network configuration example, on a single line in the `.bat` file we're going to type `spice64.exe -ea -w` and save the file.
|
|
|
|
What do these different parameters do?
|
|
|
|
- `-ea` enables an integrated e-amusement server within SpiceTools.
|
|
- `-w` will boot the game in windowed mode which will ease our initial setup and testing later, make sure to remove `-w` to run the game fullscreen once you're done setting up!
|
|
|
|

### Configuring for an Online Network
|
|
|
|
!!! tip ""
|
|
For our online network example we're simply doing the above but with different parameters! On our single line, we're going to type `spice64.exe -p XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX -url http://yoururlhere.com/ -w` and save the file.
|
|
|
|
What do these different parameters do?
|
|
|
|
- `-p` takes your PCBID on your network of choice, simply replace `XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX` with your PCBID.
|
|
- `-url` allows you to specify a custom service URL to connect with, simply replace `http://yoururlhere.com/` with your chosen network's URL.
|
|
- `-w` will boot the game in windowed mode which will ease our initial setup and testing later, make sure to remove `-w` to run the game fullscreen once you're done setting up!

|
|
One final note, since you're playing on a network, you will have one additional step of setting up your card file within your chosen tools, make sure to check your server's information on how to setup a card file.
|
|
|
|
### Final Steps and Setting up the Game
|
|
|
|
!!! tip ""
|
|
|
|
It's important to note before booting the game that Sound Voltex uses portrait mode and attempting to boot the game fullscreen in most landscape environments will result in a crash. To alleviate this, we must set our *main* monitor to portrait mode and be ready to rotate it! To do so, right click on your desktop and go into `Display Settings`, then simply set the orientation to `Portrait` as pictured.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
In the event that you do not have the means to run the game in portrait mode and cannot rotate your monitor, it is recommended you boot the game in windowed mode. In SpiceTools, simply add the windowed mode parameter, this parameter is `-w` and can be placed right after any other desired parameters chosen in our `gamestart.bat`
|
|
|
|
With that, you're all done! The final step you'll have to do with your chosen tools is simply setting up your desired keybinds! Once you've done that, Boot the game with your `gamestart.bat` and the game should load and be ready to be enjoyed! Have fun!
