General tutorial for streaming Tibia

I'll go through different programs, designs and plugins that will help you create your own stream.


Streaming softwares:
OBS: http://obsproject.com/ (Free)
XSplit: https://www.xsplit.com/ (Free, Personal license: 59.95$ - Premium license: 99.95$)

Twitch:
The only thing you need to get from Twitch is your stream key to paste in your streaming software

Streaming with OBS:

CPU. Make sure you have at least an i5 2500k or an AMD 6 core processor or higher. Older processors can work but they usually struggle to run both the game and the stream with veryfast CPU setting and can sometimes result in fps loss

GRAPHICS CARD. For most mid to newer games I'd recommend using an Nvidia GTX 480 or higher graphics card at the lowest settings. mid range 560 ti, high 660 ti or 680 (or any radeon equivalents). - http://obsproject.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2451

UPLOAD SPEED. I personally use 1500 as max bitrate and 1000 buffersize. Confirm your download/upload rate, www.speedtest.net

Bad computer? Lower your FPS on OBS under Settings>Video>FPS. Still lagging? Try to lower the Resolution-downscaling.



Plugins:

NohBoard:
Detects what buttons that are being pushed.
Capture this window with OBS and change the position accordingly.
(Setting for detecting hotkeys, rShift, rCtrl, mouse buttons and arrows are included)

Snip:
This will catch up song titles from Spotify and iTunes and paste into a txt file.
Add text on your source list in OBS, make it read from the txt file that was created.

Overlay/HUD:
This might be tricky unless you have something like photoshop (people still use paint? kkkkkkk)
I personally use an overlay over my chat windows, which allows me to message people freely while streaming live. It also adds extra space to put new plugins and information.

My current setup with these tools:

I'll probably organise this later, add more plugins. If I've missed anything, let me know
