<h1>Setup</h1> <div class="level1"> </div> <h2>Getting started</h2> <div class="level2"> <p> Before doing anything with the game there are a few things you need to do. First up, start "SomaDev.bat" in "redist". This is dev version of the game and is used whenever you do actual development. When proper testing is to be made, run Depth.exe. Having done this, navigate to "My Documents/My Games/Soma" and open "Dev_user_settings.cfg" in a text editor. Now you can change a lot of stuff for the game. Here are the most common stuff you want to mess with: </p> <p> <b>Change start map</b><br/> Find this: </p> <pre class="code xml">< Map File="" Folder="" StartPos="" /> </pre><p> </p> <p> <span class='np_break'> </span> Change File to the map you want to load and StartPos to the player start in the map you want to start at. For example: </p> <pre class="code xml">< Map File="my_map.map" Folder="" StartPos="MyStartPosition" /> </pre><p> </p> <p> <b>Change resolution</b><br/> Find this:<br/> </p> <pre class="code xml">< Screen Width="800" Height="600" FullScreen="false" Vsync="false" /> </pre><p> </p> <p> <span class='np_break'> </span> You can now change these values to get the resolution you want. </p> <p> <b>Input</b><br/> Find this: </p> <pre class="code xml">< Input InvertMouse="false" SmoothMouse="true" MouseSensitivity="1.000000" GamepadSensitivity="2.000000" /> </pre><p> </p> <p> <span class='np_break'> </span> and then change to have mouse inverted and stuff like that. </p> <p> These are probably the most important things to know about, but poke around and see if there is anything of use. Next time you start "SomaDev.bat" it will have these changes. </p> </div>
