Greetings Skylords!
Many of you, as the Alpha is drawing closer and closer, are asking if there are going to be Streams, who is going to Stream, how often etc. etc.
I decided to let anyone set up an EASY and basic Twitch account with a working Stream using the OBS (Open Broadcast Software)
First, here are some links:
Twitch - use this to set your channel, I believe all settings in there are clear, if not, ask down below
OBS - use this to download software to your computer
The first thing you need to start Streaming is a working account (or access to an existing account) on Twitch.
That should not really be a problem.
The next thing is to sync the OBS with the existing account. Every time you Stream, you need to have a Stream Key set in the OBS. The key can be found in the Dashboard when you hover over your profile in the Twitch site. Upon accesing the dashboard, you will see this
The key is essential, and should be kept private as long as you don't want someone else to be able to use your Stream channel (this is good when you have an open channel, where everyone from a certain group - for example Alpha members - can Stream). Other than that, KEEP YOUR KEY PRIVATE!
Now it is time to set OBS to work. First of all, you need to input the Stream Key that you just got. In OBS, go to Settings -> Broadcast settings. There, you will see this
Now, that your key is bounded to your OBS, when all is set up, you should be able to Stream directly to your channel on Twitch
However, you first need to set what do you want to Stream and how. For that, you need to create a "Scene". Each Scene has its sources (games, windows, monitors, texts or just images). We will get to that in a second.
Let's say that I have no Scene created yet. I don't want to erase my existing Scenes, so I will create a new one. Ignore the others
Now, we have a blank Scene with no Sources. Sources are individual layers of the final Stream that we will now create in order to choose what will be broadcasted and how these layers will be layed on top of each other. Every Source can be turned off during the Stream as well - for example if I created a countdown, I can !MANUALLY! make it dissapear in the middle of Streaming because it disturbs the viewers.
Every Source is set up differently. Every Source can be re-set, moved, deleted or its layer can be switched during live Streaming. Before I get into details, I will briefly explain what each Source is good for:
Window Capture - choose a single (active at the moment) program running. That program will be Streamed - example - in my Drawing test, I chose Inkscape to be Streamed
Monitor Capture- the whole monitor will be Streamed. the only difference that may be is the positioning of layers (will get to that soon). Does not work for fullscreen games
Image - not much needed to say... an image being Streamed - can be used for HUDs or decorations
Image slideshow - much like a Power Point presentation, works the same, images are chosen from a folder or individually one by one
Text - very usefull, can be edited in the middle of the Stream, can be changing, can be chosen from an existing UTF8 compatible file
Video Capture Device - a box containing of anything that your preset Webcam records
Game Capture - works well with fullscreened applications, mostly games
That is all the Sources that can be used for every Scene, however, there is also something called Global Sources - I haven't used it much, but it works like a preset Source that will be included in every Scene from the beggining untill the end of a Stream
--------------------------
Gonna have to finish it there, it took me too long and I am going to sleep now. Will finish it on Friday
In the meantime, submit any questions you have
Nice guide, maybe adding a scene switcher and Hotkeys for scene switcher tutorial would be great!

Hey guys Ultrakool here,
The previous "Alpha Features" stream video is up on youtube! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RkqXaLwOQU
Check it out!
Thank you for watching!
We'll see you soon! -
is very hyped about alpha.
-
I don't know about the Alpha players channel but i haven't created a channel yet. However if it kicks off we could just carry on using it for videos for BFR
Thats what Im saying, I took this into consideration when making the account so it is actually in fact a community account being used for the alpha.
-
Has this channel been created? The current alpha players have created a channel for the purpose of alpha videos and are thinking of possibly using it as a channel for all community content...
edit: contact me for info. I can add you to managers list for the youtube channel. I just need your email per pm
-
Updated the thread, also is the Quote system broken or something? D:

@Ladadoos sorry if I gave that impression, it was just a way of saying your very active on the forums.
-
srry but what u mean by alpha player list its mean not all can test it? :/
to add to that 20 players will be announced on the stream, then they will increase it gradually.
I really want to play the Alpha but if It won't be able for me i'll just wait a bit longer, forums aren't just my thing. I didn't played any other games than Minecraft and Battleforge for years and than the servers got offline... I was really sad. I tried League of Legends but I really don't like it.
Forums weren't Ladadoos' thing either but he was so enthusiastic for the game now he has 1,5k posts. It just depends how badly you want it.

Am i doing this right?

Is Hero now.
Bling Bling.
