Soundpacks

Installing soundpacks

Installing new packs is simple. Just press the install button on the website.

Installing downloaded packs

Though we're no longer providing support for this method of installing soundpacks, you can still do it.

First you'll want to locate your custom folder.

In versions of Mechvibes before v2.3.5, you can find this folder, by right clicking on the tray icon, and clicking "Custom Folder".

In Mechvibes v2.3.5 and later, you can find this folder by right clicking on the tray icon, and hovering over "Folders" and then clicking on "Custom soundpacks"

In the future, these options may be unavailable, in which case you might find the custom folder in your appData.

On Windows: %appdata%\Mechvibes\custom
On macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Mechvibes/custom
On Linux: ~/.config/Mechvibes/custom or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/Mechvibes/custom

If these folders don't exist on your system, you may be using a version of mechvibes which placed files in your home directory. In this case, the locations are as follows:

On Windows: C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME_HERE\mechvibes_custom
On macOS: ~/mechvibes_custom
On Linux: ~/mechvibes_custom

Then, be sure to extract the soundpack, and you'll want to ensure that the config.json file is at the root of the folder before moving it into your custom directory.

Valid structure in any version:

- custom/
- > soundpack/
- - > config.json
- - > ... sound files ...

Valid structure after v2.3.5 only:

- custom/
- > soundpack by xyz.zip

Invalid structure:

- custom/
- > soundpack by xyz/
- - > soundpack/
- - - > config.json
- - - > ... sound files ...

Also Invalid:

- custom/
- > config.json
- > ... sound files ...

Also Invalid:

- custom/
- > soundpack by xyz.rar

Using zip files

The way we've implemented zip files in v2.3.5, allows for files to be placed virtually anywhere in the archive, so long as there are no conflicting file names. If there are any conflicting file names, there may be issues with the wrong sound being played, or the wrong config being loaded.
