TL;DR

Mystery Pinball Theater streams Avengers VPX with PuP Pack; discusses virtual pinball design and streaming tech.

Summary

Manu from Mystery Pinball Theater 3000 streams a virtual pinball recreation of Stern's 2013 Avengers machine with a PuP Pack (visual/audio enhancement) by J.P. Salas. The stream focuses on gameplay commentary, shot strategy (including the LOKI spell and multiball modes), and an extended technical discussion about migrating streaming infrastructure from Streamlabs to StreamElements, exploring OBS plugins like LeonBoard for channel point redemptions and dynamic scene manipulation.

Key Claims

  • J.P. Salas has been building virtual pinball tables for an extremely long time, possibly 15+ years before Manu's involvement in the space

    medium confidence · Manu: 'And although this one is from one of the virtual pinball, like gods of virtual pinball. He goes by the name of J.P. Salas. And he's been building virtual pinball tables forever. I mean, even before I was in the game. And I was in the game maybe 15 years ago.'

  • StreamElements uses a single consolidated browser source (1920x1080) instead of multiple browser sources, reducing CPU overhead

    high confidence · Manu: 'You don't need multiple browser sources. You build your whole scene on a 1920 by 1080 screen on their website... Every time it has to composite a new browser source, it has to do more work on the CPU. This one browser source. Done.'

  • LeonBoard is the only OBS plugin that responds to Twitch channel point redemptions and can manipulate OBS filters and sources

    medium confidence · Manu: 'LeonBoard is the only OBS plugin that I've ever seen that does manipulate and use that will respond to redeemed channel points... It will trigger them. It's ugly as frack. It's not terribly user friendly.'

  • The Avengers virtual pinball recreation by J.P. Salas uses theatrical music from a PuP Pack rather than sampled ROM music

    high confidence · Manu: 'The music in this game has been removed from the ROM and put into the pup pack. So the music you're hearing is kind of actual theatrical music as opposed to the sampled music in the ROM.'

  • Avengers pinball shares shot lane control mechanics with Rolling Stones, where each flipper controls its respective side lanes rather than both flippers controlling all lanes

    high confidence · Manu: 'The trick about this particular pinball machine is that it's similar to Rolling Stones. The Rolling Stones, the left flipper changes the left lanes and the right flipper changes the right lanes.'

Notable Quotes

  • “He's a way about designing and putting things together... J.P. Salas is just such an amazing table creator. He's great.”

    Manu@ 2:28 — Praise for J.P. Salas's virtual pinball design skills and reputation

  • “The thing about this game is you have to spam the Avengers shots so much to get any progress. So you basically have to shoot it a million times.”

    Manu@ 5:52 — Gameplay commentary on Avengers' shot repetition requirements

  • “Streamlabs 2.0. Very nice. A little confusing, but once you get the hang of it, you can do a ton, ton of crap in it.”

    Manu@ 17:58 — Assessment of StreamElements as an evolved Streamlabs alternative

  • “I would maybe say try starting off with stream elements as opposed to doing everything in stream labs and nightbot and stuff because it's way easier, way more flexible.”

That's right. We've got a pinball sign. Ah! Danger! Danger! Ah! Hello everybody, MPT3K here. Got some new toys to play with Got some new things I'm trying out I haven't streamed in a week I had to give up last week's stream because of family But I didn't mind I got to chill, hang out with the kids and stuff Today I saw something pop up on my virtual pinball radar That's pretty cool So we've all seen Avengers Actually, I'm not wearing this shirt because of this It's just coincidence I don't know I want you guys to take a look at this because this is pretty cool.
1:01
This is called a pup pack. Check this puppy out. Now this table I hope it's not too loud actually I'll probably bring it down a little bit After it plays for a little bit
1:43
Okay, I'm bringing it down a little bit. You guys let me know in the chat if it's still too loud. So this table, this is a recreation of Avengers from Stern 2013, 2012, 2013? I can't remember. I'm close. I think I'm pretty close.
2:01
And although this one is by one of the virtual pinball, like gods of virtual pinball, He goes by the name of J.P. Salas And he's been Building virtual pinball Tables Forever I mean Even before I got in the game And I got in the game maybe 15 years ago I mean honestly it's got to be that long He just has A way about designing and putting things together So he did this tribute to Avengers Classic game I'll put the link in the description on YouTube. But some other cats that I'll throw their names in the description too created this pup pack, which is terrific because now we get kind of a stern-like, or I would say Jersey Jack because this thing is huge. Look at how big that back glass is.

So it's kind of like a Jersey Jack style Avengers now. So now you can watch the movie while you play the movie. Okay. but it's still fun so let's try it i'm gonna play it a little bit see what's going on um all right let me know if you need the volume up or down you know in the chat whatever i also have a few few fun fun redemption things that you can play with i'll show you in a little bit but let's put let's put some up one of the things that i try to do in the beginning is spell loki and there's this little cheat. If you're willing to... Oh, crap. See, it launched the ball. If you're willing to give up your ball save, you can get the K and the I for free almost. If you short plunge, let it go down the K, change the lane, then short plunge again, let it go down the K, you can get the K and the I. The trick about... See, now I'm dead. I've got no points. The trick about this particular pinball machine is that it's similar to Rolling Stone. Rolling Stones, the left flipper changes the left lanes and the right flipper changes the right lanes. So you're not going to use just one flipper to change all your lanes. So I'm going to do this, hands off, right, change a lane. Short plunge before I can catch the ball. Now I've got the K and the I. If I drain though, I'm dead Ball save is gone So now I have to get the L and the O And the easiest way to get the L and the O Well I won't say the easiest way But a way to get L and O is to shoot Black Widow If I can just That almost moonwalked Okay, okay, okay Okay If I can just get some freaking control Alright, finally I'm going to shoot for some Hawkeyes So that's an easy way to get Loki But I would do That also if you hit If you spam Hulk Okay there we go there's an O Do it again Now let's get some control If you hit Hulk a bunch of times You get a Hulk multi-ball Loki is going to be the harder of the multi-balls I mean it just requires Different shots Go for Captain America Whoa, that ball is on fire.
5:26
Alright, Captain America. Nope, rejected. Captain America. I suck at this Captain America shot. Bounce.
5:39
Okay, maybe. No, no, it's always tricky to get. Okay, Black Widow. I think if I save the shot, I'll get it.
5:48
No, alright, well. Let's go for some more Hawkeyes. The thing about this game is you have to spam the Avengers shots so much to get any progress.
5:59
So you basically have to shoot it a million times. Black Widow. There we go. Okay, now Loki lock is lit.
6:06
Loki is lit. Up this guy up here. I'm also in a mode, so I didn't... All right. One of the things I got Black Widow lit. One of the things you can do pretty easy in this game is hit Iron Man somewhat.
6:29
Also, I got to say, the music. Oh, man. Can I get a replay of that? Holy crap. Let's take a look at that.
6:43
I mean, that went zooming past me. I didn't catch it. That went zooming past me, though. The music in this game has been removed from the ROM and put into the Pup Pack. So the music you're hearing is kind of actual theatrical music as opposed to the sampled music in the ROM. Oh, God. No, sharp lunge! No! Dang it! No! Alright, so the first time you only have to lock one Loki ball. Light lock once and then you get all the locks for free. Boy, that took a while. Whoa!
7:30
So I think whenever I shoot Captain America, I gotta watch it. Zaka! Let's get some Hulk multiball going on. Black Widow, I think it's still going. And that was terrible. That was terrible. I should have had that K.
7:52
Pretty easy. Whoa. And I played a real one. It's a little brutal to me. Not to really good players. But... Funguli!
8:10
Alright. Well, this is fun. So a couple of the new redemption things that I set up Obviously you have the hands camera right here You have the tilt camera right there Alright Which I'm going to turn off So you can redeem them yourself I added one more thing, it's called Flush the logo And I don't have a button for it I just have to use my infinite number of redemptions But this is Flush the logo I have way too much time on my hands. Let's play again. Now this time I'm going to short plunge just so I can get a letter but I'm not going to waste my ball save right now. unless you can make really good on that promise of getting Loki,
9:10
you really, I think, see, there you go. You really should go for the lanes to get some points on the board as opposed to trying to do the short plunge crap.
9:23
Although, the short plunge got me through a tournament once. It got me big points in a tournament. so I'm kind of stuck on it now.
9:39
Oh my god. Am I getting any decent replays? I just want to do that again real quick. Boop. Let's check this out. This is a fumble that should never happen.
9:58
Boop. Boop, boop, boop That is terrible play Alright Oh, look at me I'm just instinctively short plunging Let's get some Hulk multi-balls going Boom Hit him again J.P. Salas is just such an amazing Table creator He's great, I have his Iron Man too It's also just as fun And they're like tributes to them, so they're not... He's not trying to match the table exactly.
10:33
As you can tell, this back glass is definitely... I mean, this play field... Whoa! This play field is the comic version, which is pretty cool.
10:49
What's up, Insomniac? Where's your sound? did you sound play am i running wait a minute let me check if i'm running it i broke it
11:16
oh boy oh boy oh boy users Uh, okay What is that? Events? That's under events I can't find it Commands? Oh, screw it You have a sound I didn't, it didn't happen I don't know why You have a sound now I promise Um so i'm here chatting with myself and i'm trying to convince yeah i'll get it to work again oh you know why bro this is the new streaming machine i don't think um i poured all the sounds over here this is this is the dedicated pc now it's pretty sweet it's pretty sweet nvidia and vinc blah blah blah but the big deal is and this is going to shock all you son of a so the big deal take two, this is going to shock a lot of you cats is that I basically spent all day because my workload was extremely light converting slowly converting everything that I used to stream elements instead of Streamlabs.
12:52
Have you looked into stream elements at all, Insomniac? Crappy crap. The rift worked? Did the rift work?
13:05
Ooh, bold choice. What's up, Nick? Not really. That rift worked, right? My sounds worked. I got all kinds of neat stuff working.
13:18
Take it in. It didn't go in. Just impact it on the surface. When we're at it, hey, tell me pros and cons. I will. I will be happy to. So, I have so many videos I have planned for you guys. It's ridiculous. Starting with the ridiculous, the redemption things that I have going on. If you look at my redemption queue, silly shit. Silly shit. But it all has to do with manipulating my screens and stuff like that.
13:56
And I'm sure you guys are sitting on a lot of points, so you can use a lot of them. The differences between StreamElements and StreamLabs, I'm liking StreamElements a lot. because stream elements works with points right no the thing that works with points on my stream now is called leon board sounds stupid but basically this dude and don't panic flip has it too I sent him a link to it because he wanted to look into how it was built and how it was coded so he could start incorporating some of it into with Octopus. But LeonBoard is the only OBS plugin that I've ever seen that does manipulate and use that will respond to redeemed channel points It actually will respond to filter changes Like if you it turn filters on and off on your sources. It will, it will do almost everything that you can do within OBS. It will, it will trigger them. It's ugly as frack. it's not terribly user friendly, but if you spend a little bit of time with it like I did, you can get it to do really cool stuff.
15:36
I'm glad some of you guys are here. Now, let's go back to, sounds like, what did you say? Let's see. Wait. Wait. Oh.
15:44
Sounds like what I wanted to build but never started. You know somebody out there is going to be already messing around with it, right? So I want to quickly address Wynn's question about the difference between StreamElements and StreamLabs.
16:06
And by never started, I did the quick Python to Arduino to OBS and Twitch chat, but didn't go further.
16:16
I spent the entire day with StreamElements. I said, you know what? I'm going to try this. I'm going to try and convert everything I rely on in my stream on Streamlabs to StreamElements. So here's the first big deal about StreamElements. You don't need multiple browser sources.
16:34
You build your whole scene on a 1920 by 1080 screen on their website. You set up everything that needs to be visible or not. One browser source.
16:48
That's it. Now, obviously, some things you might not be able to, some things you might want to not have on one browser source. Because one browser source basically means you can't stick different browser source elements behind non-browser source elements, right? But I noticed, especially for my layout, cost? No, there's no cost. you know the nice thing about it does it cost anything? No it doesn't cost anything money wise no the nice thing about it is you don't have to weigh your machine down with 27,000 browser sources right? Every time it has to composite a new browser source it has to do more work on the CPU this one browser source done the way you build it is in their website you build it on their website You set up all your things. It has... So it's like Streamlabs 2.0.
17:50
Yeah, Streamlabs 2.0. Very nice. A little confusing. Oh, I got Hulk multiball going. A little confusing, but once you get the hang of it, you can do a ton, a ton of crap in it.
18:07
So I was able to successfully set up Chatbot. They have their own... Not Chatbot, sorry. Nightbot. They have their own Nightbot implementation built in.
18:20
So I basically don't have to run Nightbot anymore. I don't have it turned off yet, but I don't have to run it.
18:31
You can... All my alerts are through it right now. As you can see, the chat looks a little different. The chat is running through it. I can get my follower goals and stuff What's their angle on how they make money I have no clue They have integration with the stream deck Wow he comes in really loud So I haven't been able to So Jesus Christ this what's happening right now no longer stream labs stream elements those are bubbles instead of it doing some random thing this right now is let's see let's do well this isn't that's just me being silly ah I got it this redemption right here you can do that for 100 channel points stream elements stream elements combined with actually no that's not stream elements that's leon board that's leon board um what else so my chat is stream elements tilt camera well here you go i'm not i'm on a different screen there's a tilt camera you redeem it you got it riff did the riff work dude uh that's that's the onboard oh my god my machine is about to my machine hates me because oh yeah so CRT look I'm a CRT street fighter okay and that's what you get so these are all examples of things that you can do with a combination of the onboard stream elements really doesn't play into this this fun stuff stream elements doesn't play into the reason So basically your stream is One of those shooting gallery arcades Now Yeah it is And I'm okay with that You know Stream elements Right now for me is A destination Where I don't want to deal With 27 browser sources I only want to deal with one browser source I don't want to deal with so many interfaces I just want to deal with one interface I can get rid of stream labels I haven't gotten rid of it yet So this little thing right here Showing my follower count And George The follower count thing is less broken On Oh you know what that is
21:57
I set up Stream Elements to do a riff every 10 minutes, I think. But it's not actually working. Like, that... That would work.
22:12
Roboctopus is not listening to Stream Elements, so I have to get that fixed. So you'll see Stream Elements say riff every once in a while. Just ignore it. I'll get it fixed.
22:21
Could someone toggle the hands camera for me, please? If you could. I think it's 50 channel points. Your sound quality is okay, but more rough than usual. Like, too tinny.
22:37
Thank you. My sound quality is tinny. Tinny. Oh, you just turned it off. You guys, go ahead, fight it out. Who wants it on? Who wants it off? Fight it out. Oh, that sucks that my sound is teeny. I wonder why.
23:00
I'll have to take... That's why I'm giving you guys the ability to turn it on and off. Now, here's the weird thing. Oh, you suck. I have 23,000 coins.
23:17
It's not for you guys. You guys already have a shit ton of points on my channel. All right, so if you have so many points, George, do me a favor before you go to your stream. Whoever's got, I think it's 200 points to toggle the replay camera.
23:34
So what you want to do is the replay camera captures the last 15 seconds. So if you see something cool, you have to hover over the button, though. You have to say, like, you have to wait to redeem it for the time, Which is not a great user experience.
23:51
That's a lot of compliments. Where's that on your redemption? No, I'm not doing a compliment. Silliness.
24:00
No. George and I, we like each other, but we don't copy all of our stuff from each other. I copy basically from him what I want.
24:09
And I don't like the compliment thing because I don't think it's sincere at all. I think he's a con artist and he's trying to buy followers with kind words. But if he shows up, don't tell him I said that.
24:25
I'm copying the half out of you. Guys, everybody who's in here, I have to do tutorials on how to do all this junk. You pick whatever you want. My stream will be the most god damn ridiculous stream ever. but I want to put myself in the front line so that you guys don't have to suffer through anything that's garbage.
24:50
This stuff is fun. Added the hand cam. Yeah. Oh, you got a hand cam now. Cool. What are you using for your hand cam?
25:06
Which camera? Or are you just using a 920 or something like that? Because right now I'm using a CX-405 for my hand camera.
25:25
But I've got to be honest, guys. You really should look into Stream Elements. A 920. I loaded my Sphera CX-405 to the Snow Stream. Yeah. You know, George, you don't need a friggin'... I just have one that I got from a Freegal Watch. Because I have three of them.
25:44
But we use them at Freegal Watch. So since Freegal Watch is closed, I was like, I'm messing around with the hands camera.
25:51
Ugh! Definitely give stream elements a look-see. And especially if you're just starting off, I would maybe say try oh my god I would maybe say try starting off with stream elements as opposed to doing everything in stream labs and nightbot and stuff because it's way easier way more flexible I'm sold I'm like a believer and they have a ton more, more plugins for you to use. A lot more stuff.
26:44
Let's see. What time is it? We're still good. I'm afraid I do have... I'm more sold on GIFBOT at the moment. GIFBOT? Okay.
26:55
Boy, that stream elements riff command is getting annoying. I do have to say, I have to ask George a question. when converting all my night bot commands over okay stream elements they they have their own chat bot they have their own version of night bot i'm not paying attention anymore so it pulled it they have importers that'll pull everything over gift bot is a passion project from someone else okay i gotta take a look at it i'd love to i'd love to see what it's all about um when converting come on let's put up some serious scores now converting all my chatbot commands over obviously it took the um roboptopus commands uh the api.roboptopus.u the you know what I'm talking about commands it brought those over and I was scratching my head trying to get the url fetches to work until I realized Come on.
28:12
Does Streamlabs support calling a RESTful API? Yes, but I have to ask you. Probably not possible with DMCA as of late, but is there a jukebox redemption option on Twitch? Yeah, there's a jukebox redemption thing on Streamlabs, StreamElements, I don't think it's Twitch per se, but their API allows for that kind of stuff.
28:38
And StreamElements does support it. But, bro, I wasn't able to call urlfetch space JSON space the API slash query stream. I had to remove JSON.
28:59
It still works, right? So this here is color yellow. This is it working. There you go. So is there a problem with not doing it as a JSON call?
29:21
Am I breaking something by not doing it as a JSON call? And even if you rave, rave will work too. Don't panic flip said no No you're fine Okay What was the reasoning On using a JSON call in the first place If the API returns Whatever you want I forgot all this stuff I told you I used to code But I forgot all this stuff with a passion Is there any is there any benefit or loss that what i talking about boom boom boom um yeah sounds like just respect specifying return message format yep uh nightbot you have to specify that it's a JSON call. Okay.
30:16
The API can return JSON or XML. The Nightbot-specific syntax for submitting requires specifying JSON, but defaults to JSON, so that was just a Nightbot thing. Okay, cool. Yeah. I went around circles trying to figure out what was the problem, and I spent a lot of time feeding Streamlabs a thing and then seeing what came out the other end and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But it works fine if you just remove JSON.
30:44
Stream elements can probably handle it better. Yeah, I figured it out. No, no, no. Dude, I don't want to call you because I had lots of time.
30:56
You ever seen a grown man naked? I had lots of time and I just wanted to goof around. I wanted to figure it out. I wanted to figure it out on my own. I know about query strings and all that stuff and parameters and stuff. I used to write code, but I was like, I was all over the place at first trying to figure out if they had a command. And they just, surprise, they just copied the shit out of Streamlabs. That's all they did.
31:28
I shouldn't say legacy, added compatibility. No, I went right out. XML is legacy. Yeah, XML is really legacy. too verbose my Scanda partner uses XML, hate it hated it still a lot of soap out there and other things relying on it, yeah that's true by the way, while you guys chat I want to show you this is the best part this is the TPN schedule I want to tell you who's going to TPN today. We've got Fliptronic, which was before me. We have Don't Panic Flip coming up next. What the Flip is coming up. Then we got One iPod. We have, straight down the middle, one of our newest members,
32:18
Joe. Boy, that's a shameless way to pull you guys into an ad, isn't it? I don't care. I'm shamelessly, I'm a TPN whore. Okay.
32:35
Um, it's easy to turn, it's easy to turn, it's easy to turn inject to SQL. So I work for the government, Wind Raider, so much soap. And he's not talking about the old 1970s sitcom soap. Um, I'm an agent of MF change.
32:57
All right. I love how this dream turned into, hey, I'm fine with it turning into all this stuff because I've been sitting. I went off in my hole My cave And I came out with a bunch of fun stuff For the stream And I noticed that I'm leaning Into the shot you just paid for So sorry Mainframe or mother effin Mother effin Don't forget Don't panic flip up next And I on Friday Am streaming another superhero.
33:35
Not Spider-Man. I have Spider-Man in my garage right now, but I also have another superhero I was waiting for so bad.
33:43
Does anybody know who that superhero is? Do you know who the superhero is that I'm streaming on? Oh, crappy crap!
33:57
I'm Batman. Yes. Oh my god Yes but you know The other Batman I'm pissed if my voice sounds tinny now George I think it's just my voice I don't think it's my mic Maybe I'm too hot Too hot Too pumped about your funfuna That's more a cam to look in your cup Than a handy Hand cam English Oh come on I should have short played that The game is audio clipping Vibrating Yeah yeah yeah but it's Too quiet to hear You know what that is too I gotta give a shout out to I'm gonna pull this down I gotta give a shout out to Uncle Toybox Because Uncle Toybox Just managed to up my NDI game By showing me How Just telling me to download The NDI app And it gives me the ability to NDI broadcast all of the screens from my virtual via NDI. So I got to say thank you so much to Uncle Toybox. I was on his stream one day and I asked him, how are you doing what you're doing? Are you capturing? I'm doing everything in NDI. And I was like, please talk to me like I'm six years old and tell me exactly how to do it.
35:47
Awesome dude. Hooked me up totally. Super easy. barely an inconvenience. That's more a cam to look... Oh, I did that.
36:00
The hand cam shows into your drink... Oh, jeez. Does it really? Oh, no. Oh. So now you guys know what I'm drinking.
36:20
When are we getting another animation with all the new streamers? Zach, if that's your real name. Wow, it's not supposed to stay in the pops for that long.
36:43
Let's get another Hulti-Multi-Ball. Good question. I'm not asking you, George, like you know. Like, when Zach built that thing, I was thinking nothing but, wow, he's got to maintain that. That's not going to be fun.
37:02
What else do I have for you guys? So stream elements, definitely look into it now. Now, if you're so deep in the Twitch streaming game, like Don't Panic Flip and like me, where you will have to undo a lot of things, I still think it's worth it. But maybe do it on a weekend. Maybe do it with many days between your next stream. because not only do you have to convert everything over but you have to thank you oh then you drain not only do you have to convert everything over but you have to learn their interface at the same time which can get iffy I need to look at something real quick Because not only do you have to convert everything over, but you have to...
38:31
whatever. I just got rid of the event list. I wasn't super into using it. George, I don't think I see the event list on your stream anymore either. You know, where it shows the top five, what they did, and whatever.
38:49
Stream Labs doesn't have a good event list. Or at least I haven't found it yet. But if you have like the chatbot... Not the chatbot. Yeah, if you have chatbot or if you just have the alert, alerts all my alerts right now are being done through stream elements then give it a try if that's all you have but if you have i mean for someone like i keep using don't panic flip as an example but he's a what i would call a a power user right twitch power user stream elements is not going to stop you from having to use like three or four apps just running. We got to run Roboctopus.
39:36
Right now I'm still running Chatbot. I'm sorry, not Chatbot. Streamlabs. Stream... Is it called Chatbot? What the fuck? I don't remember.
39:47
So your extra apps are still going to be running. But at least you'll have within your OBS instance, you won't have 77 browser sources. You'll have one browser source.
40:07
And if you build your scene, user bot, no, not user bot. No, it's the one that makes the sounds for the people who come in the room.
40:17
Can't remember the name of it. if you build your scene the right way, you can get away with one screen.
40:33
I'm going to go ahead and turn off stream elements visibility. And just watch. Stream elements visibility is gone.
40:45
So currently... Thank you, Streamlabs chatbot. So currently stream elements visibility is gone. So if I do a riff, you guys won't, no, you'll see a riff because riff is Roboctopus. But if I got like a follow or a sub or something, that's stream elements triggering those. So you won't see them. So I'm going to turn this back on.
41:15
Now the chat's cleared. And I'm hot pink now. and I know this. I know this for a fact, guys. I know this for a fact. That I'm... How are the Riffs programmed in Roboctopus?
41:37
George can tell you I hacked Roboctopus to do something it was not intended to do. Yeah. So George wrote functionality in Roboctopus to call up a random image.
41:59
I'll leave the rest to you. Right? Whenever I type Riff, or whenever you write type Riff, Roboctopus feeds me a new image. The image is a... It's not all me. No, so I bugged George. I was like, can you build this? He goes, well, I think you can use this. And he handed me a tool and said, figure it out. And I went, all right. And yeah, and I created little alphas of the bubbles coming in and zooming out with After Effects. So every time you call up a new image, it sees the new image come in. It's a GIF that only loops once. It refreshes the GIF, it loops once, and it looks like it goes away. So whenever someone types RIF again, Roboctopus gives me a new talk bubble, a GIF, that only loops once. and it shows it and you end up with that there's the gif loop once the animation i did in after effects it's still there you just don't see it anymore the way it works on either stream labs or stream elements is it's basically the same thing i just put the bubble in the same place so instead of using you know their default follower thing i made one that's called hey it's a new follower stream elements of stream labs shows the image which is the same exact animation as my other ones so what i did was i tried to make the guys down below um these guys right here they're like my message queue so they're going to always talk about what's happening on the stream. That way I don't have to put things in weird places.
44:08
Shia LaBeouf. I'm out, man. You have a great rest of your stream. I've got to be a good host for a bit. Go for it. I'll send whoever's left here over to you.
44:19
Cool. So, I was going to say, before I was interrupting myself, I know that I'm building a lot of junk for pretty much no one to ever see, or no one to ever use. But for me, it's a library of use cases.
44:39
And off the top of my head, I can tell you how many, wow these pop bumpers are insane how many plugins I using It not a lot but there motion move transition
44:59
Motion and move transition allow me to do this, that, and this, right? It allows me to do this and the tilt cam and stuff motion and move transition those are the two plugins that manipulate sources in obs there's your basic stingers which everybody knows how to use there is Roboctopus Nice personal hack Hackathon day results I'm actually not using that much stuff Yeah I'm using motion Move transition And I get these I get all this stuff Because when I'm sitting And I'm doing work I work on Premiere All day I work on After Effects all day A lot of the times it doesn't require me to do any audio work so when i'm just sitting there building scenes in after effects or premiere editing and i don't need audio i'll throw on a youtube video and i'll watch harris heller from alpha gaming i'll watch um this really really amazing guy who who set up this whole replay system. I think his name is Defrag. I'll watch his thing. He's the one where I got this from. Boom.
46:37
The ability to do this live. I'm still here, by the way. I'm still... I'm still here when that whole thing happens. I'm hands off for that whole process.
46:55
I watch this guy named Nutty who is the guy I got the onboard from so I'm just out there like looking for what are the gamers using and how can I help gamify this whole world and make it a little more interactive for people who are interested most pinball players don't give a shit about this stuff really I mean I don't I'm not sitting on a stream waiting the redeem points so we could you know I'm not really like worried about it but like I said it's something that I'm trying to push the envelope of this stuff with transitions and ideas I also don't feel like I have that much to offer because there's a lot of smart guys in the discord so if I can come up with something that I can, you know, offer, then I'm... I feel like I'm not wasting everyone's time.
48:05
I'm wasting your time right now by not putting up serious scores on this game, but... This, once again, is just a cool... Oh, you suck!
48:19
It's like the random stuff that you can do on the robot rap battle game. It doesn't change it much but it makes it interactive. You mean when you hit the button and you destroy the building or make the train show up and all that other stuff, right? Yeah. It's good stuff. Good stuff. Yeah, and I also plan to use the stream element stuff on my Jackbox games. Keep those guys entertained. Playing the same Jackbox games, even though there's like 30 games, playing the same games over and over can get a little boring sometimes. So I try to keep my crew happy with some new stuff.
49:22
But yeah, thanks for joining me tonight on this kind of impromptu but scheduled... Now I'm really pissed off. That's my favorite. No one's used that. That's my favorite Freaking sound Duke Nukem baby Duke freaking Nukem Nick as soon as I'm done with this I'm going to make sure that your sound loads Did you ever hear what sound I gave you?
50:05
I don't think you did Did you? Yeah, I need to make a bunch of sound files. I love a Duke pinball. Yo, wouldn't that be cool? Dude, I made you and Caviel on the same night I made your sounds, and I put them on my laptop, I think. And since then, I haven't used my laptop once to stream.
50:30
I need to show you guys a picture of my laptop because I have... Not my laptop. I wonder if I can do something stupid like... Oh, you know what I'm going to do?
50:46
Just for you guys, since the stream is about to end, I'm going to grab the tilt cam and show you what the PC looks like. Is that okay? Let's see. I forget now. No, it's not from Xenon. I could have done something like... some base humor and just use the uh-ah, uh-ah sounds from Xenon, but I was like, eh, no.
51:13
Nick deserves more than that. I'm being honest. I'll grab my tilt cam. Okay, let's do that. By the way, if you're looking to do a tilt cam, my suggestion is to do it this way. Coin door is closed by the way. There's no cables going in. Coin door is closed.
51:46
Dems is my fingers. Here it comes. By the way this I know it's hard to see I'm sorry. That's the inside of my pinball machine.
52:13
I'll show you what this looks like. This is ridiculous. NDI babies. That was a barbell. Yeah, I had a barbell sitting on top of it. This is a spare phone running NDI with a battery. The light's on, right?
52:34
This is the contraption I have inside the pin. But it's because I don't want any cables going inside the pin. I have to put this on Batman later. And I don't want to open the coin. You can't open the coin door when you're playing Batman because it has the high voltage, blah, blah, blah.
52:50
And I'm going to show you. Here, I'm going to switch over to this ridiculous monitor. Oh, yeah. I almost forgot to mention. I'm using shader filters. We can talk about shader filters at one point. I'm not drawing. I'm not doing... This is fucking bright. I'm not putting... I'm not putting shadows or anything in Photoshop on my stuff. The shadows are being rendered. This is really bright. The shadows are being rendered.
53:26
in real time. There she is. That's it. Alright, let me switch back. I love the custom Yeah So I have I bought these straps Where you can just lift Look at me I'm burning your eyes out I bought these carrying straps So when I take it downstairs to stream I just lift it by the handle and take it downstairs Same one driving the V-Pin and the stream Yep That was the thing I wanted wind. I don't, I have OBS installed on every machine in the house. I was tired of that. Just tired of it.
55:00
So now I have OBS. One machine. That machine I just lift up, take downstairs. There's a rig downstairs that's pretty much identical to this. So I don't have to do any of that stuff.
55:14
So guys, I think I'm going to call it unless if you have any other questions. It's like my pinball stream has turned into more of a I don't know, a text thing, but same boat here, probably saw that unfold on Discord. Yeah.
55:34
Yeah. Um, I needed the horsepower. I can't do Oh, whoa! We got a new sub! Ah! Jesus Christ I forgot Yeah you get an emote explosion if you sub Thank you for the sub Jdata Wow Jidata Thank you so much for the sub What up That was worth it Stream elements baby only in stream elements i sound like i feel like i sound like i work for them now but that was a good save thank you so that's a feature in stream elements called a explosion if someone does a thing you if someone does a thing you feel is big i think a sub is big i murder my gpu with um explosion yeah maybe we should all just go work for them yeah So, that's it. Stream elements. Pretty sweet.
56:50
