Each game's hub: Start, Profiles, Commands and more

Start: how it works and getting started

It's the first tab, and it opens by itself the first time you enter a game. It explains, to someone who knows nothing yet, how a gift reaches that game and what needs doing. What only lives in the app is the live part: steps are marked «Done» or «Pending» from what the game reports, and a chip at the top says whether it's «Connected», «Running», «Installed» or «Not started».

• «How a gift reaches the game»: a diagram from the viewer to the app and from the app to the game.
• «What you need»: the game, the version, the system and anything else required.
• «Getting started»: the steps in order. The bar at the bottom is what installs and launches.
• «What your chat can do»: the kinds of effects, with a link to see every command.
• «Before you go live» and «FAQ»: that game's warnings and usual questions.
• «Try an effect»: fires a sample effect once the game is ready.

Profiles and Commands

Profiles holds that game's profiles: build one from scratch with «New profile» or start from an «Example profile», already set up with triggers that work. Commands is the game's catalog, the same for all its profiles: categories on the left, the list on the right and a search box. With the game connected you can fire any command by hand to see what it does.

Game settings

The Settings tab only appears in games that have something to set, and it changes with each one:

• Enemy cap and simultaneous spawn limit: extras wait until you deal with the current ones, they're never dropped.
• The viewer's name or nameplate above the enemy they summoned, in games that have it.
• High-definition textures (Super Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask and Mario Kart 64), with their author and a link to the original pack. Install and enable them with the game closed.
• Game language (Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask): community translations, one at a time and with the game closed.
• The key for each action in Fortnite and Free Fire, with a «Test» button.

Tabs only some games have

Some games have sections that only make sense there:

• Servers (Minecraft): the server the app sets up, an external one or your single-player world. It comes right after Start, because without a server nothing gets through.
• Minigames (Minecraft and Roblox): matches with a goal and a scoreboard, each with its own panel, triggers and overlay.
• Game modes (GTA V): ten rounds with rules, a clock and a scoreboard, like Chiliad Climb or Chaos Vote, each with its one-click profile.
• Grand Prix (BeamNG.drive): the chat race, where viewers drive with their own car and face.
• Online Battle (Minecraft, Pro): two streamers, two sides; your followers fight the other streamer's.

The same guide on the web

Every game also has its «Getting started» page on the web, at overinteractive.live/games/<game>/how-it-works, with the same content as the Start tab. The «Web guide» button on that tab takes you there: handy for reading it before installing anything or for sending it to someone.
