Requirements

Minimum server e2 settings requirements

  • Tick quota at least 20000 or higher.
  • Soft quota 5000 or higher.
  • Wire plug/socket limits at least 20 (minimum pc configuration in multiplayer)

Recommended e2 settings

  • wire_expression2_unlimited 1
  • sbox_maxwire_plugs 50 or more in multiplayer
  • sbox_maxwire_sockets 50 or more in multiplayer

Or even better:

  • wire_expression2_quotatick 300000
  • wire_expression2_quotasoft 300000
  • wire_expression2_unlimited 0 (important! or this will not work)

For work faster (warning: it can make lags for your!).

Installation

  1. Download repo as zip https://github.com/AlexALX/wiremod_e2_os/archive/master.zip
  2. Extract files somewhere.
  3. Copy folder "alx_pc" from advdupe2 folder to "Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\data\advdupe2".
  4. Start the game.
  5. Make sure that you have wiremod and advdupe2 addons installed.

Assembling PC

There is two variants of assembling pc:

  • assemble full pc, this variant is working only if you playing singleplayer or in multiplayer with socket/plug limits 50 or more
  • assemble minimum working pc configuration, this variant must be chosen if you are playing multiplayer and have 20 plug/socket limit.

Recommend to watch this video: https://youtu.be/jfFnVnX7Kwg (first 5-10 minutes)

So here is steps:

  1. Get advanced duplicator 2 tools in hand.
  2. Open "alx_pc" folder inside "-Advanced Duplicator 2-" folder.
  3. Open "parts" folder.
  4. Now if you are assembling full PC:
  • Open "case" and spawn it somewhere.
  • Open "motherboard" and spawn it.
  • Grab motherboard with physgun and unfreeze it by pressing "R".
  • Move it into case around 3 sockets, they should connect.
  • Freeze motherboard and correct position if needed.
  1. If you are assembling minimum PC configuration:
  • Open "motherboard" and spawn it.
  • Go to back side of motherboard.
  • Remove 3 plugs on back side, because in other case you will hit plugs limit.
  1. Open "cpu" file and place it near PC.
  2. Grab it by pointing to board part (not props or e2 chip!) using physgun and unfreeze (press R).
  3. Move it to top of motherboard and when you will see yellow line press right mouse click and release left & right mouse keys.
  4. CPU should move to socket and stay frozen without moving or hang down if everything is correct.
  5. Now open "gpu" file and place it near PC.
  6. Grab it and unfreeze.
  7. Move it into any black socket at left-middle part of board until you see yellow line.
  8. Again freeze it and release mouse keys.
  9. Now spawn HDD Controller with 4 ports for full PC or 2 ports for minimum pc configuration.
  10. Move it to free black socket in board in case of 4 port controller, or to any white sockets for 2 ports controller.
  11. Now spawn sound card, and move it to any white socket in same way. You can skip this if you don't want to play sounds, PC can work without sound card.
  12. If you are doing full pc configuration - then also spawn usb controller and network controller and move them into free white sockets.
  13. Now you need to spawn EGP Screen from "devices" folder, and place it somewhere near PC.
  14. You also need to spawn HDD from "devices" folder an freeze somewhere in case or near motherboard.
  15. Now open "cables" folder.
  16. Spawn an "hdmi" cable, then connect one side to EGP Screen, and second to any socket on GPU (green card with two hdmi sockets).
  17. Spawn an "sata" cable and connect one side to any port on hdd controller, and second side to HDD.
  18. Full PC Configuration:
  • Spawn an "frontpanel buttons" cable, and then connect one side to motherboard red socket near BIOS (right-bottom side of board), and second side to red socket on frontpanel of case.
  • Spawn an "frontpanel usb" cable, and then connect one side to socket on USB controller, and second end to blue socket on frontpanel in case.
  1. Minimum PC Configuration:
  • Spawn two wire buttons (without toggle checkbox)
  • Connect wire input "G" on motherboard red socket near BIOS (right-bottom side of board) to one button and it will become Power button
  • Connect "H" input to second button and it act as Reset button.
  2. You are ready to startup your PC.

Manual creation

THIS INFORMATION IS OUTDATED

  1. Copy folder alx_pc from expression2 to "Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\data\expression2".
  2. Start the game.
  3. Get Wiremod tab - Chips, Gates - Expression 2 Tool in hands.
  4. Open folder "alx_pc" in e2 editor.
  5. Place e2 chip somewhere with BIOS_Chipset.txt file.
  6. Do same and spawn another chips with CPU.txt, GPU.txt, HDD_Controller.txt and HDD.txt.
  7. Get Memory - DHDD tool and spawn 1 or more HDD Banks near HDD chip.
  8. Spawn one more DHDD for BIOS ROM.
  9. Spawn two wire buttons (power/reset) without TOGGLE checkbox.
  10. Spawn EGP, Digital Screen.
  11. Spawn two wire indicators (Visuals->Indicators->Indicator).
  12. Spawn any prop as BIOS Speaker.
  13. Spawn Wire Gate "To Character" (connect NullByte on BIOS to Out on this gate).
  14. Connect everything between chips using Wiring tool, don't forget connect every chip to BIOS.
  15. If everything connected correct - you can boot PC now.

Have fun. :)
