TwitchStreaker for Streamlabs Chatbot

In light of recent events, regarding Streamlabs, we will suspend further development of the script until a satisfying solution has been found. Technical support will still be provided via our Discord or GitHub.

Initially created for the Twitch-Streamer AnEternalEnigma to keep track of new and gifted subscriptions to his channel. This is the public version of the same exact script, with some minor changes to make it a little more generic.

TwitchStreaker is compatible with Twitch and YouTube. For YouTube, only the regular Subscription options apply.

Disclaimer

We are not responsible for the misuse of this script! It is up to YOU to apply the scripts functionality according to your platforms Terms of Service. For example, Twitch does NOT allow you to give away Subscriptions for Bits (see Bits Acceptable Use Policy). Please make sure that you use the Script in a way that does not violate any Terms of the platform that you are using.

Installation

  1. Download the latest release.
  2. Extract the downloaded archive into the Chatbot > Services > Scripts directory.
  3. In the Chatbot, open the Scripts Tab and click the Reload Scripts button.
  4. Right click on the TwitchStreaker script and click Insert API Key.
  5. Enter your SocketToken and the amount of subs required per streak. See here
  6. Add the Overlay as a Browser Source to your scene in your preferred streaming software.
    • Overlay.html the "Classic" Overlay.
      • Recommended Browser Source width: 800px
      • You can use the text files contained within the Text folder as an alternative
    • BarOverlay.html the "new" Progressbar.
      • The size is defined by the Browser Source properties
    • These Overlays has separate settings within the bot, i.e. you can use both Overlay if you want to

Updates

Remember to Backup your customized files!

  1. Download the latest release.
  2. Check the Changelog for additional instructions
  3. Extract the downloaded archive and overwrite existing files.
  4. Reapply your customization's.
  5. Reload the script and overlay.
    • Click the Reload Script button on the Chatbot.
    • De-select and then re-select the script, to update the UI.
    • Click the Save Settings and then the Reset Session button, to makes sure that the most recent changes are applied.
    • Reload the Overlay within your Streaming software.

Updating from 2.x to 3.x

With version 3.0.0 we added a progressbar that runs separate to the classic overlay, with separate settings and sounds. The classic Overlay is still the same exact things, but has some additional element options (see HTML Elements).

  1. Make a Backup of the entire folder.
  2. Extract the 3.x archive and overwrite existing files.
  3. Delete Settings.js, Settings.json, Session.json and TwitchStreaker.log from the folder.
  4. Enter your SocketToken, See here.
  5. Reapply your Settings and Customizations
    • Customizations to the Script should be redone, since quite a few things have changed under the hood and there are additional options for you to explore.
  6. Save the Settings and reset the Session

Streamlabs SocketToken

  1. Navigate to Streamlabs API Settings
  2. Click on API Tokens
  3. Click the Copy Button next to the Your Socket API Token field
  4. Insert the Token under Streamlabs > Socket Token in the Script Settings

Troubleshooting

Check your Account Connections

In most cases it is as simple as reconnecting your Accounts to the bot.

  1. Go to connections 👤
  2. Generate new Tokens for both the Twitch Bot and Twitch Streamer
  3. Reload the script and reset the session

Check your Python Installation

Another common issue is a problem with the Python 2.7.x installation.

  • Make sure python 2.7.13 x86 is installed. Don't use newer versions of python or x64
  • Make sure the lib folder path found in scripts tab -> settings ⚙️ leads to the lib folder located inside the python folder that was created when installing python. By default this would look like THIS
  • Make sure you installed python 2.7.13 x86 and NOT python 3.X

Reset the current Session, reset the Settings

Some rare cases involve a corrupted Session, or a corrupted Settings file.

  1. Delete Session.json from the script folder.
  2. Reload the Script and continue with step 3 if the issue persists.
  3. Delete Settings.json and Settings.js from the script folder.
  4. Redo your settings, incl. the Socket Token.
  5. Reload the Script.

We reached $tsTotalSubs subs so far!

We reached 42 Subs so far!

Customization

The Progressbar is not yet finalized, customization documentation will come as soon as it is finalized

Making your own designs for the TwitchStreaker Overlay is straight forward and only require a few things to keep in mind. The single most important thing is to load the required JavaScript files in the correct order.

<html>
  <head>
    <!-- OtherStuff -->
    <script src="API_Key.js"></script>
    <script src="overlay/main.js" defer></script>
    <!-- OtherScripts -->
  </head>
  <body>
    <!-- Content -->
  </body>
</html>

In case you're using a custom script, it has to be loaded after the main.js and should be deferred via the defer keyword as well, to prevent issues later on.

HTML Elements

The following element ID's are available for use in your design:

ID Description
BitsLeft Amount of Bits needed to get the next Point
BitPoints Amount of Points acquired via Bits
DonationPoints Amount of Points acquired via Donations
FollowPoints Amount of Points acquired via Follows
Goal Amount of Points needed per Streak
Points Current amount of Points in the current Streak
PointsLeft Amount of Points needed to complete the current Streak
Streak Current Streaks
SubPoints Amount of Points acquired via Subscriptions
TotalBits Amount of Bits accumulated in the current Session
TotalDonations Donation amount accumulated in the current Session
TotalFollows Amount of total Follows accumulated in the current Session
TotalSubs Amount of total Subs (not Points) accumulated in the current Session

None of those ID's are actually required and can be placed anywhere in the document, in case of the default design we're only using Points, Streak and Goal. Here a few examples:

HTML Examples

"X Subs left until Wheel #X"

<div>
  <span id="PointsLeft">2</span> Subs left until Wheel #<span id="Streak">1</span>
</div>

"X of X Subs, then we spin Wheel #X"

<div>
  <span id="Points">2</span> of <span id="Goal">7</span> Subs, then we spin Wheel #<span id="Streak">1</span>
</div>

JavaScript

Though you could just modify the main.js in the Overlay folder. There is a more elegant way that keeps things simple and clean.

The Overlay object has an additional field with an anonymous function that is called on every refresh of the overlay and can be used for your custom code to be triggered at the same time with the most recent values.

The Progressbar is not final at the moment and will not yet be documented!

Setup

Overlay.Text.UserRefresh = function() {

  // Your stuff here

}

It is important that this always evaluates as a function, since it is called from within the EventBus in main.js. Anything else will result in a bunch of error and probably unwanted side-effects.

Variables

The following variables are available for your custom script.

Variable Description
Overlay.BitsLeft Amount of Bits needed to get the next Point
Overlay.BitPoints Amount of Points acquired via Bits
Overlay.DonationPoints Amount of Points acquired via Donations
Overlay.FollowPoints Amount of Points acquired via Follows
Overlay.Goal Amount of Points needed to complete a Streak (min: 1)
Overlay.Streak Current amount Streaks (min: 1)
Overlay.SubPoints Amount of Points acquired via Subscriptions
Overlay.Points Current amount of Points in the Streak (min: 0)
Overlay.PointsLeft Amount of Points left to the next Streak
Overlay.TotalBits Amount of total Bits accumulated in the current Session
Overlay.TotalDonations Donation amount accumulated in the current Session
Overlay.TotalFollows Follow amount accumulated in the current Session
Overlay.TotalSubs Amount of total Subs (not Points) accumulated in the current Session

Manual Overwrites

If something can go wrong, it will most like go wrong at some point. That's why the script has some overwrite functions built in to account for missed subs, streaks, and outright crashes.

Changes made will not display instantly, the update happens on a 5 second interval.

Button Functionality
+ Sub Adds a Sub, Streaks will increment if conditions are met.
- Sub Removes a Sub, until 0 (zero) is reached.
+ Streak Adds a Streak.
- Streak Removes a Streak, until 1 (one) is reached.
+ Goal Increments the Goal by one.
- Goal Decrements the Goal by one, until 1 (one) is reached.
Refresh Overlay Refreshes the Overlay without loosing the current values.
Reset Tracker Resets everything to their initial values.

Compensation

The topic of compensating me for my work came up quite a few times. While I appreciate the idea, I do this for fun and don't need any type of monetary compensation. If you still feel like compensating me for my work, then there is my GoG.com Wishlist with a mix of games in most price classes.

In case you decide to gift me something from said wishlist, thank you and use braininblack@gmail.com as the recipient. However, a simple "thank you!" goes a long way and is more than welcome.
