Hello, The time has come! [h1]The eSheep goes StreamSheep[/h1] You're probably wondering, what's this all about? [h2]eSheep becomes your Companion in Twitch Live Streams[/h2] Are you a streamer with your own Twitch channel? Then read on! I wanted to inform you about an exciting opportunity that has just come our way, and where you can play an important role. A Twitch bot has been integrated into eSheep, which displays the messages from your chat participants as speech bubbles next to the sheep and the corresponding usernames below the respective quadrupeds directly in the stream. Additionally, optimization for OBS has been added. Of course, everything is completely customizable to your own preferences. To ensure that the eSheep Stream Plugin meets your needs, we invite you to participate in our exclusive beta test. As a beta tester, you have the unique opportunity to get to know our chatbot before anyone else and directly contribute your feedback to its development. Why should you participate? [list] [*][b]Early Access:[/b] You'll be among the first to try out our innovative chatbot. [*][b]Shaping the Future:[/b] Your opinion is incredibly important to us.

More Information: [h3]What can the eSheep Twitch Bot do:[/h3] [list] [*]After the initial launch, you will be guided through the process of logging into the Twitch servers automatically. [/list] [b]Displaying a Chat Participant's Name under the Sheep:[/b] [list] [*]When a user writes a message, the display name of the participant is shown under one of the sheep. [*]You can freely choose the font and size. [*]The font color can either be pre-defined or taken from the chat participant. [*]To enhance the visibility of the name, there is a cloud image in the background, which can be deactivated or replaced with your own. [*]The visibility duration can also be set. [*]You can also specify that only followers, subs, or VIPs receive a sheep instead of all chat participants. [*]There is also a block list where you can exclude certain users (such as other bots) from eSheep. [/list] [b]Displaying Chat Messages of Participants:[/b] [list] [*]The display of chat messages next to the respective sheep can also be individually configured. [*]Similar to displaying names, you can freely define the font, size, and color. [*]To shorten long messages, you can set the maximum width and number of lines. [*]Emotes are automatically loaded and saved on the first start. From the next start, they will be read from the hard drive to reduce loading times. Global and channel-specific emotes are supported. [*]You can also add a speech bubble behind the message text. This is created to fit the length and height of the message text. The background color and border color can be changed as desired. [*]You can also set the display duration of the shown message. [*]The display position of the message in relation to the sheep's position can be aligned or shifted horizontally and vertically. [/list] [h3]What does the OBS Optimization do:[/h3] [list] [*]When activated, eSheep is no longer displayed as an overlay but runs in its own window, which is recognized by OBS. This allows you to move it to the background so it doesn't interfere during the stream. [*]You can change the vertical position of the sheep on the screen so that important elements are not covered in the stream. [*]The size of the sheep can be adjusted. [*]You can also customize the speed at which the sheep move to your liking. [/list] Since the eSheep Stream Plugin is still in the testing phase, new features may be added or existing ones may be changed. If you're now interested in participating in the beta, simply send me a short message.
