Stream Setup: Xsplit + Twitch.tv + Mumble

Techs

  • Requires a moderate or powerful computer (i7 does it just fine)

Wormkit module D3D9Wnd

  • Install Worms Armageddon with the latest update
  • Download and extract the archive with the D3D9Wnd module (by Kawoosh and StepS)
  • Run W:A, go into Settings and set the in-game resolution to 1280x720 (recommended for streaming, but you can pick your own)
  • Go into Advanced Settings
    • Tick "Load WormKit modules"
    • In the "Graphics" drop-down select Direct3D 9 (shader palette)
  • Exit W:A
  • Start W:A again. Now you are in a windowed mode

Twitch.tv

XSplit

  • Download and install XSplit
  • Start XSplit
  • Add your twitch.tv channel
  • Go to View -> Resolutions -> Edit resolutions and tick 1280x720 (the one you chose in the W:A settings)
  • View -> Resolution – choose 1280x720
  • Now, set up your scene. Click “Add screen region” and click on your W:A window
  • Stretch it in the XSplit window
  • Start your broadcast

Mumble

  • If you need an easy way to comment games with your friends just use Mumble
  • Install client
  • Add server:
  Label: Worms
  Address: worms2d.info
  Port: 64738
  Username: (your nickname)
  Password: (no password)
  • Turn your speakers off. Use headphones. Otherwise you will have annoying echo that can ruin your stream
  • Ask everyone who participates in the show to do the same
  • Check your hardware for background nosies
  • Make sure there will be no noise in your room (talking, tv or any other sounds except your voice)
  • Configure "Push-to-talk":
  Configure->Settings->Audio Input->Choose “Push-to-talk” from drop-down menu.
  Shortcuts->Add->Choose “push-to-talk”->Click under Shortcut tab->Push “Right Ctrl” 
  (or any other key of your choice)
