🎮 What is Parsec Soda?

Parsec Soda is a custom and open-source Parsec tool dedicated to improve Hosting experience in Parsec Arcade.

I created this tool for my personal use and it has grown too large for me to maintain it by myself, so now I humbly ask this community for help. 😂

Parsec Soda has a plethora of Features to assist the Host.


What Parsec Soda is not about?

  • Parsec Soda is NOT a replacement for the official Parsec client.
  • Parsec Soda can create Arcade rooms, but not join them. So if you want to join a room instead of hosting, you still need the official Parsec client to do it (including your own room created with Parsec Soda) - and I recommend you use the official client for testing your Parsec Soda room.

📜 License

Parsec Soda code is under MIT license, BUT all of the code from Parsec SDK has it's own license, the Parsec SDK License.

Therefore, if you build this source code into a software, you MUST abide by their terms, which means you are NOT ALLOWED TO SHARE an executable file that uses the Personal API - currently used by this source, more specifically by ParsecSession class.

You may only build a copy of your own for personal use (and preferably to also help me improve this project, haha).

In order to share executables, you must set USE_PARSEC_PERSONAL_API to FALSE in CompilerDirectives.h:

#define USE_PARSEC_PERSONAL_API FALSE

🚩 Features

  • Plug/unplug, pre-instance gamepads manually.
  • Manual assignment of gamepad ownership to players via drag-and-drop.
  • Lock/unlock player inputs.
  • Read player inputs in background.
  • Desktop sharing in Arcade.
  • Audio control panel with support to Microphone and Speaker channels.
  • Ban/unban players (including the ones who left the room).
  • Edit room name, thumbnail, player slots, privacy, room link in real-time. No need to close and reopen the room.
  • Dedicated chat and log window with support to chatbot commands.
  • Role tiers for chatbot commands. Guests have their own set of commands like "pick a specific gamepad", "drop gamepad" and "play sound effect". And admins can ban/unban guests from chat commands.

🙋 How to contribute?

  1. Open a new issue reporting what you're going to do (this helps preventing merge conflicts/doubled work).
  2. Fork this repository.
  3. Create a branch for your feature.
  4. Make your local changes.
  5. Submit a pull request.

You can also check my Trello board here.


👷 Build Instructions

The building process is not trivial, so I'll guide you through the process and prevent the major caveats.

  1. Download Visual Studio Community 2019.
  2. Install the C++ development packages.
  3. Pay attention to the checkboxes at the right, you don't need all of them and you can save a lot of disk space by unchecking some of them. I can't tell for sure which ones are expressly required, but most of them are unimportant.
  4. You may need to install the C++/CLI build tools support package from the individual components tab.
  5. When applying the installation, I recommend that you pick the option to download all at once, and then install all at once. It seems faster that way.
  6. Clone this repository to some folder of your preference. Visual Studio generally uses the path {user folder}/source/. You can clone it by download and unzipping from GitHub or by using some version control app (I particularly use Fork).
  7. Start Visual Studio 2019 and open the Project Solution.
  8. Now you must choose one of many paths, depending on the goals of your build. Your options are:
  • Debug: intended for developers, creates a larger executable but that allows developers to inspect code flow.
  • Release: intended for final use, creates a lightweight executable stripped from all unnecessary attachments.
  • x64: For 64-bit Windows users.
  • x86: For 32-bit Windows users.

Below, I list all possible executable directories:

Build Goal Folder
x64 Debug /x64/Debug
x64 Release /x64/Release
x32 Debug /Debug
x32 Release /Release
  1. Choose your build options and hit "Build >> Build Solution" (or Ctrl + Shift + B), the folder of your choice will be created and the build MAY FAIL at first, but the directory will be created. Even if the build does not fail, when you try to run ParsecSoda.exe it will crash. And that is because you need to copy some dependencies to the executable folder.

Please note the first build may take a minute to complete.

  1. Below I list all of the dependencies you need to copy to the build folder to get the app working properly. Copy all of them to the root of your build folder:
Dependency File Source What is it for?
Parsec SDK dll parsec.dll or parsec32.dll /Dependencies/parsecsdk/windows/ Prevents application from crashing, since everything related to Parsec SDK is built upon that dll. Copy parsec.dll if your system is x64. For 32 bits, copy parsec32.dll.
SDL2 SDL2.dll /Dependencies/sdl/lib/x64 or /Dependencies/sdl/lib/x86 Prevents the application from crashing, since the usage of SDL2 in the Master of Puppets requires that dll. Copy SDL2.dll from the /x64 subfolder if your system is x64. For 32 bits, copy it from the /x86 subfolder.
icons The icons folder /ParsecSoda/icons Without this, ParsecSoda displays no icons, every button and image becomes blank.
fonts The fonts folder /ParsecSoda/fonts Without this, all fonts and font sizes will be wrong, degrading user experience.
sfx The sound effects folder /ParsecSoda/sfx These are standard sound effects. Without this, the app may crash when a sfx is played (e.g.: when blocking or kicking an user).
  1. This is how your final build folder should look like:

  2. Now, build the project one more time just to be sure (Ctrl + Shift + B) and your executable should be good to go. Enjoy ParsecSoda.

    Audio Pitch issue

    I have looked everywhere online to see if I could find anything about it because I'm not the only one getting this audio bug. Everything is slightly lower pitch. I just wanted to know is it something I'm doing or is it just the program?

  • Tried to build, nothing happens

    Tried to build, nothing happens

    I followed the instructions perfectly and hit Build Solution, after the build failed (it always fails), there was no output, just an empty x64/Release folder. I then did a search through the entire system for ParsecSoda.exe, also nothing.

    Update: file not found: C:\Users/melonsoda/source\repos\ParsecSoda\x64\Debug\icon.ico - I think the problem may be this?

    Left Analog starts moving cursor

    When I restarted parsec soda, the problem went away. It's never happened before, could a player somehow switch to some other mode? Don't know how to reproduce but I'll update it if happens again...

  • "Reset Gamepads" button causes app to crash when no gamepads are connected.

    This is issue is specific to the master branch when compiled myself. It does not occur on the 1.0.1 Pre-Compiled release.

    If you press the "Reset Gamepads" button while all controllers are inactive (red), Parsec Soda will crash. Connecting one gamepad first will prevent the crash, but if you later disconnect all gamepads and hit the "Reset Gamepads" button, it can still crash.

    On the first run after being compiled, this issue does not occur for some reason, but it happens on any subsequent runs. This happens with a freshly downloaded, unmodified copy of the code from the master branch.

  • [Bug] Suddenly can't connect physical controllers

    [Bug] Suddenly can't connect physical controllers

    Soda worked completely fine before but one day the physical controllers just didn't connect anymore when i clicked them. https://gyazo.com/c5f77fdaf50239665c5f8f60c22322c6

    My real controller works fine, soda detects it and can even puppet the disconnected physical ones...

    I tried reinstalling, updating and downgrading but none worked.

    The only thing i can think of is that few days prior i deleted a few programs to free up my space but i didnt even delete that many and i dont think soda is using another program

    ok i figured it out, i was missing ViGEmBus, its weird i dont think i needed this when i installed soda, maybe it auto installed when i got soda and didnt know about it when deleted those apps hh

    I have Windows 11 with an AMD Ryzen 3200g with Radeon vega graphics 8.

    I try to connect the gamepads using the enable gamepad button, but it doesn't do anything. I believe it has something to do at "O.S Level.". I am also an admin in my local PC user.
