Description:

Integrates the game with Twitch for viewer chat commands, polls, and more.

Let your viewers become part of the game without bogging you down.

• Automatically raffle your viewers as enemies and civilians. Manually assign viewers as soldiers. Enjoy a custom UI to track who’s who on the battlefield and in the Avenger.
• Let viewers use chat commands to speak in-game, use emotes to show their mood, and more.
• Run polls to let everyone watching influence what’s going on during missions.
• Set up channel point rewards, so viewers can turn in their channel points for in-game effects.

The in-game mod options give you plenty of control, but you can do more. If you want to truly customize things for your stream, then dig into the ini files to set up custom chat commands, channel point rewards, and polls. If you’re comfortable writing mods for XCOM 2, you can go even further. (If you make ini changes, follow the local mod creation guide so you don’t lose your changes every time I update Twitch Integration!)

Twitch Integration comes packaged with 3 chat commands: !xsay, !xemote, and !rtd. Each of them will only work for a viewer who has been assigned a unit.

• !xsay <message> – Make a message appear in-game as though it came from the viewer’s unit.
• !xemote <emote> – Tactical layer only. Makes the given emote appear next to the viewer’s unit.
• !rtd – Roll the Dice. Tactical layer only and disabled by default in the mod options. Spins a big wheel that has a variety of good and bad effects; one is randomly selected to happen to the viewer’s unit.

On top of chat commands, the default settings will randomly start a Twitch poll periodically. Polls can be good or bad for XCOM, and chat gets to pick exactly how they turn out.

Thank you to Beaglerush and Jamball[www.twitch.tv], Laz[twitch.tv], MrCloista[www.twitch.tv], and Starbright Bunny[twitch.tv] for trying this out on their streams, and providing feedback and bug reports.

Thank you to all the folks in the XCOM 2 modding Discord for their accumulated knowledge and advice. In particular, thanks bountygiver for finding a way to make emotes load in-game.
