Installing TP:KTaNE

Ensure that the version of Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes you are running is at least v1.2; any version of KTaNE below this will not be able to run mods. (Also, note that certain platforms will not have mod support at all, due to platform-specific constraints; if your platform cannot run Steam applications, then it is likely that version of KTaNE will not support mods).

Steam Installation

Go-to http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=894736519 to subscribe to the Twitch Plays mod. This will download the mod automatically for you, and will continue to download updates for the mod when updates are released.

Non-Steam Installation

Go-to https://github.com/ashbash1987/ktanemod-twitchplays/releases and download the latest release for the module.

Inside the *.zip file will be a folder called TwitchPlays; drop that folder into the <path>/<to>/Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes/mods folder. (If the mods folder doesn't exist, create one for it).

Configuration

Initially launch KTaNE with mods enabled. This will generate a template mod settings JSON file for TP:KTaNE in the user-data folder for KTaNE. Close KTaNE and open up the mod settings file.

On Windows, this is located at:
%appdata%/../LocalLow/Steel Crate Games/Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes/Modsettings/twitchplays.txt

The file should look a little like this:

{
    "authToken": "",
    "userName": "",
    "channelName": "",
    "serverName": "irc.twitch.tv",
    "serverPort": 6667
}

Change the fields with the appropriate information for your Twitch user and channel. To get your AuthToken, go to https://twitchapps.com/tmi/ to generate a valid OAuth token. DO NOT share this OAuth token with anyone else, as it is essentially a password to that Twitch account. Also note that the value you enter for channelName will need to be all lower-case.

Once you have changed this configuration file and saved the changes, launch up KTaNE again, enable mods, and TP:KTaNE should then initialise and connect to the designated Twitch Chat channel.
