|
|
<h2><a name="localsubonly">Local Subscriber-Only Mode</a></h2>
|
|
<p>You can create your own local subonly mode, which ignores all messages
|
|
written by non-subscribers.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Features used: <a href="help-settings.html#Ignore">Ignore System</a>, <a href="help-addressbook.html">Addressbook</a>,
|
|
<a href="help-settings.html#Commands">Custom Commands</a></p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Create Ignore Entry</h3>
|
|
<p>Go to <code>Main - Settings - Ignore</code> and make sure <code>Enable Ignore</code>
|
|
is ticked. Then add to the list (press the Plus-Button):</p>
|
|
<p><code>!status:smbaf chanCat:subonly</code></p>
|
|
<p>The <code>!status:smbaf</code> prefix matches on messages send by users that
|
|
<em>don't</em> have any of the status levels defined, in this case users
|
|
that are neither a subscriber (<code>s</code>), moderator (<code>m</code>), broadcaster (<code>b</code>),
|
|
admin (<code>a</code>) or staff (<code>f</code>). So basicially this only matches on normal users.</p>
|
|
<p>The second requirement for a match is the <code>chanCat:subonly</code>
|
|
prefix, which refers to the channel category <code>subonly</code>, which
|
|
means the channel the message was send in needs to have that Addressbook category.
|
|
This is used to be able to easily toggle subonly-mode for a channel, and
|
|
of course to prevent it being enabled in all channels you join in the
|
|
first place.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Create Custom Command to modify Addressbook</h3>
|
|
<p>To make use of the Ignore Entry defined in the previous section, you need
|
|
to add the <code>subonly</code> category to the channel you want to have
|
|
it enabled for. To do this, you could open the Addressbook Dialog
|
|
(<code>Channels - Addressbook</code>) and add the channel with the
|
|
category there (channels need a leading # in this case, so e.g. <code>#joshimuz</code>).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can however also use <a href="help-addressbook.html#commands">Addressbook Commands</a>:</p>
|
|
<p><code>/ab change #joshimuz !subonly</code></p>
|
|
<p>This toggles the <code>subonly</code> category for the given channel, so
|
|
when the category is there, it removes the category, and when the category is not there,
|
|
it adds the category.</p>
|
|
<p>To do this a bit more conveniently, you can add it as a custom command. Go
|
|
to <code>Main - Settings - Commands</code> and add the following to the
|
|
list:</p>
|
|
<p><code>/Toggle_Subonly /ab change #$$1 !subonly</code></p>
|
|
<p>If you enter <code>/Toggle_Subonly joshimuz</code>, this will automatically
|
|
run the Addressbook as mentioned above (<code>$$1</code> means this is
|
|
being replaced with the first word after the command).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To make this more convenient (entering the command with the correct channel
|
|
could be a bit of a hassle), add the Custom Command to the <code>Channel Context Menu</code>
|
|
(on the same page in the settings). Just click on <code>Edit</code> and add
|
|
the command name (without any parameters):</p>
|
|
<p><code>/Toggle_Subonly</code></p>
|
|
<p>Now if you right-click on a channel, the context menu that opens should
|
|
have an entry <code>Toggle Subonly</code>, which you can
|
|
use to turn your own local subonly mode for the current channel on and off.</p>

<h3>Stay informed</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Open the <code><View - Channel Info></code> to see your current
|
|
stream title/game, a graph of your viewercount and how long your current
|
|
stream already is going.</li>
|
|
<li>Open the <code><Extra - Followers/Subscribers></code> dialog
|
|
to view your 100 most recent Followers/Subscribers and some stats based
|
|
on that.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Manage your stream</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Open the <code><View - Channel Admin></code> dialog to change
|
|
the title/game of your stream and run commercials:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Presets/History for title/game combinations</li>
|
|
<li>Favorite games you play often</li>
|
|
<li>Run commercials on a delay and/or timer</li>
|
|
<li>Run commercials while playing a game via a global hotkey
|
|
(Windows only)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Capture chat for on-stream chat</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Customize chat colors, for example change to black background to be
|
|
able to make the background transparent in your streaming program.</li>
|
|
<li>If you capture Chatty with your streaming program, make sure to
|
|
enable the setting <code>Settings - Window - Always show chat scrollbar</code>, so you can always capture the same
|
|
region, independant of how many messages are in the chat window.</li>
|
|
<li>Change the font so it shows up nicely on stream.</li>
|
|
<li>If you want to have all text in bold - not just the names - you can
|
|
set the font by command like this: <code>/set font Arial Bold</code>.</li>
|
|
<li>You can clear the chat window by using the <code>/clearchat</code>
|
|
command (e.g. if you changed some settings before starting the stream
|
|
you don't want to show).</li>
|
|
</ul>

<h2><a name="eventchat">Join Eventchat</a></h2>
|
|
<p><strong>As of March 2016 Twitch doesn't use separate Event Chat servers
|
|
anymore.</strong></p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p class="del">When you join a channel of a big event and you don't receive any (or few) messages,
|
|
it's possible that the channel is on the Event Chat servers, not the
|
|
regular Twitch Chat servers. It's a common problem to run into if you're
|
|
not using the website (like any regular IRC client, Chatty and possibly
|
|
mobile).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p class="del">In order to join Event Chat in Chatty, you have to connect to a different
|
|
server. See <a href="http://twitchstatus.com/#chat">Twitchstatus.com</a> for an (unofficial) list
|
|
of servers (make sure you choose the <code>Event Chat</code> tab and use
|
|
a server/port combination that is marked as <code>irc</code> in the
|
|
<code>Protocol</code> column).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Since Chatty can only connect to one server at a time, you either have
|
|
to only join channels that are on the Event Chat servers, or run two
|
|
<a href="help-guide1.html">seperate instances</a> of Chatty at the
|
|
same time.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>There are different ways of connecting to a different server:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The <code>/server <host>[:port]</code> command connects to the given server and
|
|
port manually (for example <code>/server irc.twitch.tv:443</code>,
|
|
replace with an Event Chat server accordingly).</li>
|
|
<li>The <code>-server</code> and <code>-port</code> commandline options
|
|
allow you to specify a different server when you start Chatty.</li>
|
|
<li>The <code>Server</code> and <code>Port</code> settings in the
|
|
Settings Dialog under <code>Advanced</code> allows you to set
|
|
fixed settings for the server to connect to. This especially makes sense
|
|
if you are using <a href="help-guide1.html">seperate settings for different instances</a> of Chatty.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you want to switch between servers sometimes, you can create a
|
|
custom command to connect to Event Chat so you don't have to enter
|
|
the command with the IP and port manually every time. Go to
|
|
<code>Settings - Commands</code>, add a new Custom Command and enter:
|
|
<code>/eventchat /server <server>:<port></code> (replace
|
|
with the appropriate IP and port of course). Then you
|
|
can just enter <code>/eventchat</code> in the inputbox (while not
|
|
being connected) and it will connect to Event Chat and if you want to
|
|
connect to regular Twitch Chat just connect regularly via the menu
|
|
(and it will use <code>irc.twitch.tv</code> if you didn't change the
|
|
server settings).</p>
