How to access bonus content

This release of Strife includes a copy of the manual, the soundtrack, the original WADs, and scans of the field guide & town map. Here's how to locate them.

Introduction

This is all relatively simple and easy to access. Since it all exists in the game's directory in your Steam folder.

Locate your game directory

Your game directory is in your Steam's common folder. Which is in your program files folder. Mine is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Strife

Open it and you'll be greeted with this.

There are three .wad files here. Strife1.wad and Voices.wad are the original WAD files associated with Strife. While SVE.wad is for all of the enhancements. If you copy Strife1.wad and Voices.wad into your favorite source port like gzDoom or Chocolate Doom, it'll work just fine. Also in this folder is a .pdf of the original manual under the name Strife_Original_Manual.pdf

The soundtrack is in the music folder. Here you'll find all of the game's tracks in .ogg format. You can also preview these tracks in the sound settings ingame.

To locate the town map and field guide. Go to the folder marked "Bonus Content". Here you'll find scans of Strife's town map and field guide. Which were each included with the physical boxed release of the game.

I'm pretty sure those would be in the wad files. I think you'd need to extract them using Slade

[laxlijam]

is there a way to get the image portraits of in-game characters through the files? i'm unsuccessful so far

[Bluebeak]

If you really want to. I like the tracks in the game how they are myself

You can also overwrite the game's tracks in the music folder with other music to play them in-game. You'll need to keep the file names the same and the in-game music source to "Roland SC-55", though.
