Streamer Setup Guide

#### **STEP 1 - Download the Client**

Download the Ravenfall client from: https://www.ravenfall.stream/download/latest and use 7-zip or a similar software to unpack Ravenfall game files into your desired folder.

#### **STEP 2 - 2-Factor Authentication (optional)**

This step is only needed if you want to use your own account, or a custom bot, as the game bot. Instructions for setting up the local game bot can be found here.

Set up Two-Factor Authentication for your Twitch account (or the custom bot): https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/two-factor-authentication?language=en\_US

#### **STEP 3 - Set a Password**

Head to https://www.ravenfall.stream/password and set a password for your Ravenfall account if you haven’t already.

This password is ONLY used for the Ravenfall client. It’s not the same thing as logging into the Ravenfall website to access your Ravenfall character stats.

#### **STEP 4 - Log In**

Open the Ravenfall client (in the unzipped folder there is a file called Ravenfall.exe) and log in, using your Twitch username and the password you just set.

You should now see the village on Home island.

#### **STEP 5 - Twitch Chat**

Open your Twitch channel chat (you can use your Streamlabs, twitch.tv/[username], or twitch.tv/popout/[username]/chat), and type !join.

You should get a response from RavenfallOfficial, and your character should be visible in the client.

#### **STEP 6 - Disable Fullscreen**

Take Ravenfall out of fullscreen mode by using ALT + ENTER.

### STEP 7 (Optional but STRONGLY Recommended) - Set Expiry Time

Change the Player State Expiry Time by clicking on the Cog (upper right corner) > Settings > Game. The second line should say "Player State Expiry Time." Ensure the option selected dropdown menu is "Never."

## **Additional Notes and Tips**

* Ravenfall music is public domain and can be used on stream if you want.
* The client must be running in order for characters to gain exp, even if the stream is offline.
* Players can go to twitch.tv/popout/[username]/chat to input commands while you’re offline.
* Ravenfall doesn’t have to be visible on the stream. Some Ravenfall streamers will keep the client going offscreen and viewers will input commands regardless, for example, if a raid or dungeon starts.
* If you change the player list size, anytime you restart the client it will look like the player list has reverted to the default size. Open the UI settings and it will automatically go back to the size you chose.
* Consider using bot commands (NightBot, StreamLabs, StreamElements) to provide game information to players, based on information in this wiki.
* Ctrl + Tab puts the game into free camera mode. See Streamers Control for a full list of camera controls.
	+ In free camera mode, you can fly to Home village and set the skill mentoring buildings. You must assign a mentor to each building, granting an exp boost to characters leveling that skill.
	+ Try not to spread yourself too thin when choosing your village bonuses. A new server should probably focus on Barracks exclusively.

## Local Bot Installation (optional)

The Local Bot uses a Twitch Account as the bot for all Ravenfall commands. This bot can be your personal Twitch bot (recommended) or your own Twitch account name.

### STEP 1 - Download the Local Bot Zip files

Head to https://github.com/zerratar/Ravenfall-Legacy/releases/ and download the latest version of the RavenBot.7z under the Assets.

### STEP 2 - Unpack it

Open up the file location where you downloaded the RavenBot.7z file. Use 7-zip or a similar software to unpack Ravenfall local bot files into your desired folder. Ignore all the contents of the unpacked files.

### STEP 3 - Download/install the latest version of .NET Desktop Runtime

Download and install the latest version of the Microsoft .NET Runtime. If you ever need to reference which one is "current" you can go to the Discord > #community-support > Pinned Messages.

As of 27.09.2023 for v0.9.0.3a, the current version is https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/thank-you/runtime-desktop-7.0.11-windows-x64-installer

Once downloaded, double click the file and install. If it is already installed, click Repair and follow the prompts.

### STEP 4 - Run RavenBot.exe

Run RavenBot.exe as an administrator (from the unpacked folder in STEP 2).

When prompted, type in the Streamer's channel name and generate a bot token for the Twitch account you intend to use as the Ravenfall bot. You can generate the bot token at Twitch Token Generator. Remember to sign in on the Twitch account intended to be used as the bot.

Hit save and you are set!
