Downloading and playing the game

IMPORTANT!

• There's no point in git cloning this repository.

  • Head to the releases tab to Download this game.

• As of the Apr16 Update, Androids don't have a User Folder, this is temporary and will be changed in the future.

For Windows users:

• In releases, press on the windows.zip folder to download it

• Once downloaded, do the following:

  • Right click the folder and extract it to either a custom folder [RECOMMENDED] or the folder you downloaded to [NOT RECOMMENDED]. Alternatively, you can open the zip file and drag the contents inside to a custom folder.
  • Run SoundSpacePlus.exe to play this, easy I know.

For Linux users:

• In releases, press on the linux.zip folder to download it

• Once downloaded do the following:

  • If you have a GUI File Explorer:
    • In Downloads, right click and extract the files like on Windows OR open the zip and extract it
  • If you don't have a GUI File Explorer:
    • Download your game normally and cd to your Downloads folder (usually cd ~/Downloads)
    • Inside your downloads folder type: mkdir SSP && unzip linux.zip -d SSP/ to make a SSP directory and unzip linux.zip to that directory (REMEMBER TO INSTALL THE UNZIP PACKAGE USING YOUR PACKAGE MANAGER!!!)

For Android Users:

• Download gles2 on older devices, or gles3 on newer devices
• Install the apk on your phone

If you can't execute your game on Linux

• Open your terminal and do the following:

$ cd ~/DIRECTORY_OF_YOUR_SSP_FOLDER
$ sudo chmod +x SoundSpacePlus.x86_64
# Alternatively you can use
# sudo chmod 777 SoundSpacePlus.x86.64

Troubleshooting

As everything you download online, executing may or may not work.

• [WINDOWS ONLY] If the game closes by itself
  • Download and install vc_redist
  • Open the game.
  • If your game still doesn't work, head to the Discord and head to the support channel.

User folder location

• Windows:

%appdata%\SoundSpacePlus

• Linux:

~/.local/share/SoundSpacePlus

• Android:

Currently not available (Apr16 update)

Alternatively you can access the user folder if you go into settings and press User Folder

Updating your game

As the time goes, we all have the necessity to update what's old correct?

Here's how you do it then.

• Head to the latest version of the game and Download it
• On the location where your folder is delete or replace every file inside it
  • Keep in mind that you DON'T lose your passes, replays or maps when update the game, those are located in the user folder
  • [Apr25 Update] Windows and Linux users now have an integrated auto-updater as of the Apr25 update. Android and MacOS auto-updaters will come soon. Click here to access the latest releases with auto-updaters
• And you're done. You are now up-to-date.

Development

After cloning the repository download the Discord Game SDK and put the following files into addons/discord_game_sdk:

• discord_game_sdk.dll
• discord_game_sdk.dylib
• discord_game_sdk.so (rename to libdiscord_game_sdk.so)

Don't forget to fetch the big files that are missing using

$ git lfs fetch --all
$ git lfs pull
