This Tutorial will help you with 2 things:
- Setup HLDJ
- Setup GoldWave (For Team Fortress 2)
HLDJ Setup
1. Download the HLDJ Client
Find that here: http://hldj.org/downloads.html
2. Unzip or extract HLDJ.exe
3. Run HLDJ.exe and go through the setup.
Once you run the program it should say "Would You like to run first time setup?" Click Yes.
After doing this, 2 new folders and icons will appear in the directory were you extracted the program, they should be called custom and setup.hldj. If you want to move the HLDJ.exe you must move these two things in the same directory, as well or you will have to go through the setup again.
4. After you do step 3. it should ask you if you would like to "Add all games now?" Click Yes.
5. Once all games are added, another window should pop up asking for you to choose an audio directory.
The audio directory that you want to find is were you store your converted songs.
(WARNING: Don't put unconverted songs and converted songs in the same folder. Also, don't put converted songs with their original .MP3, or .FLAC format)
Then you want to choose a key that you hit in game were you play your songs. For example, mine is bonded to "\" But most people choose the function keys. These keys will only play songs if you have HLDJ running.
HLDJ Tips: If you type in console 'hldjsca' you will automatically say the name of the spam you are playing in chat.
It should look like; [HLDJ] :: Spam Title
If you are already running a game that runs on the Source engine, and don't want to exit your game and restart it using HLDJ, you can ALT+Tab out of game, run HLDJ.exe, press the play button. It should then start the loading screen for the Source game you selected. Once that has disappeared a Error Message should pop up saying "Cannot run another copy of this game", or something like that. Once you hit okay, go back in game and type in console 'exec hldj_init', once you do that your audio directory for that game should load.
