IPGTwitch - Dev Build

Rimworld TwitchBot is a directly integrated bot that allows your viewers to interact with your game.

This mod is meant to be the basis for direct communication between Twitch and Rimworld via additional plugins.

Includes a plugin that allows a command to enter viewers into a drawing to have colonists (and colony animals) named after them.

The name give away is as simple as one button click, rather than running the giveaway in a bot in another window, then coming back to your Rimworld game to find the colonist, then rename them.

You can configure the bot to run through your current twitch user account, or you can specify a separate bot account.

I will be recording a new how-to video in the near future. Until then, to use the bot simply click the Connect to Twitch button on the Main Menu or Pause Menu. Click the settings button to enter your broadcaster and bot names. If you need your oauth key, click the get button. Click the show button to enter your OAuth key. Once that's done, click the connect button. If all works, you should be connected.

In chat, use the !command command to see all registered commands in the bot.

!me allows a viewer to be added to the name list.

To select a name from Twitch, you'll find a new button on the rename screen that says "From Twitch". From that screen, you can manually select a name, have it randomly pick one, or clear the list if you want a clean slate.

Note: If a Nickname is the same as a Twitch name, that name will not show up on the list. This prevents you from accidently giving away a colonist to the same person. If for some reason you actually WANT to name more than one colonist the same, you'll need to use the old maual way.

As this is a Beta version, please use the discussion forums to let me know about any bugs you find.
