GRASSROOTS BROADCAST PACKAGE  (Beginner / Simple)
Read me first, it only takes a minute.

Made for one person running a community tournament alone. Eight
scenes, big friendly type, and a dock with big buttons and Autopilot,
which switches the OBS scenes for you at the right moments so you can
keep your eyes on the game. Comes with its own stinger.


GETTING IT GOING

1. Unzip it.
   Right click the zip, pick "Extract All" and press Extract.
   Any folder is fine. Open the new folder.

2. Load the scenes into OBS.
   In OBS click Scene Collection, then Import. Press the ... button,
   go into the folder you just unzipped and pick
   Grassroots_Scene_Collection.json. Make sure it is ticked and press
   Import. Then click Scene Collection again and pick
   "Grassroots Broadcast".

3. Pick your cams.
   In the Caster Desk scene double click Cam 1 and Cam 2 and choose a
   camera for each. Casting alone? Hide Cam 2 (click its eye).

4. Add the dock.
   Open OBS_GUIDE.html from the folder. Step 3 in it shows your dock
   address with a Copy button.
   In OBS click Docks, then Custom Browser Docks.
   Dock Name:  Grassroots Dock
   URL:        paste the address
   Press Apply.

5. Link the dock to OBS (this is what makes Autopilot work).
   In OBS: Tools, WebSocket Server Settings, tick Enable, press Show
   Connect Info and copy the password. In the dock open OBS LINK,
   paste it and press Link OBS.


THE SCENES

Starting Soon, Caster Desk, Draft, In Game, Post Game, Victory,
Be Right Back and Thanks for Watching.

In Game only puts small score plates beside the game's own score bar
and nothing in the corners, so the SMITE 2 spectator view stays clear.


RUNNING A MATCH

- The big NEXT button at the top of the dock always shows the next
  scene of the night. Press it and OBS switches.
- Type each god into the draft box and press Enter. The dock knows
  the order of picks and bans.
- When a game ends, press the big button for the team that won.

Autopilot (on by default) does this for you:
- Starting Soon countdown ends: Caster Desk.
- First god typed into the draft: Draft.
- All ten picks in: In Game after 20 seconds.
- Who won pressed: Post Game, then Victory, then the Caster Desk.
- Be Right Back countdown ends: back where you were.
The dock shows each switch a few seconds before it happens. Press
Stay here to cancel it, or turn Autopilot off and use NEXT.


THE STINGER

"Grassroots Stinger" is already the scene transition. If it goes
missing: Scene Transitions, +, Stinger, pick media\GR_Stinger.webm and
set Transition Point to 520 ms.


SCREENS BLACK?

- Pick "Grassroots Broadcast" under Scene Collection.
- Pick the scene file from inside the unzipped folder, not from
  Downloads or from inside the zip. If OBS shows a Missing Files box,
  that is what happened. Do step 2 again.
- Still black? In OBS go to Settings, Advanced, and under Sources
  untick "Enable Browser Source Hardware Acceleration". Press OK and
  restart OBS.
OBS_GUIDE.html has more fixes.


GOOD TO KNOW

- Teams are remembered with their logo and players, so next time just
  type the team name.
- Logos never move or pulse on any screen.
- Performance mode (in OBS LINK) stops all movement for slower PCs.
- God art is official SMITE 2 art. Everything else is drawn in code.
  Font: Rubik (SIL Open Font License, in assets/fonts).
