Installing TP:KTaNE

Ensure that the version of Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes you are running is at least v1.2; any version of KTaNE below this will not be able to run mods. (Also, note that certain platforms will not have mod support at all, due to platform-specific constraints; if your platform cannot run Steam applications, then it is likely that version of KTaNE will not support mods).

Non-Steam Installation

Go-to Latest Build and download the latest release for the module.

Inside the *.zip file will be a folder called TwitchPlays; drop that folder into the Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes/mods folder. Where the Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes folder is game installation. (If the mods folder doesn't exist, create one for it).

Configuration

Initially launch KTaNE with mods enabled. This will generate a template mod settings JSON file for TP:KTaNE in the user-data folder for KTaNE. Close KTaNE and open up the mod settings file.

On Windows, this is located at:
%appdata%/../LocalLow/Steel Crate Games/Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes/Modsettings/twitch plays-settings.txt

On Mac, this is located at:
~/Library/Application Support/com.steelcrategames.keeptalkingandnobodyexplodes/Modsettings/twitch plays-settings.txt

On Linux, this is located at:
~/.config/unity3d/Steel Crate Games/Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes/Modsettings/twitch plays-settings.txt

The file should look a little like this:

{
    "authToken": "",
    "userName": "",
    "channelName": "",
    "serverName": "irc.twitch.tv",
    "serverPort": 6667
}

Change channelName to the name of your twitch channel. Change userName to the name of the account that you want to send TP messages. Which can be the same as your twitch channel if you don't want to use a separate bot account. To get your authToken, go to https://twitchapps.com/tmi/ to generate a valid OAuth token for the account that you put in userName. DO NOT share this OAuth token with anyone else, as it is essentially a password to that Twitch account.

Once you have changed this configuration file and saved the changes, launch up KTaNE again, enable mods, and TP:KTaNE should then initialize and connect to the designated Twitch Chat channel.
