PANTHEON BROADCAST
OBS GUIDE

About ten minutes the first time. You import the scenes, pick your cams, add the dock and, if you like, link the dock to OBS. After that the whole esports broadcast runs from the dock.

Before you start

1 Import the scenes

  1. In OBS open Scene Collection, then Import.
  2. Press the ... button, go to the folder above and pick Pantheon_Scene_Collection.json. Make sure it is ticked, then press Import.
  3. Open Scene Collection again and choose Pantheon Broadcast.

Pick the file from inside the package folder. OBS uses the folder the file is in to find every screen, so it works wherever you unzipped it. Moved the folder later? Import it again from the new place.

Starting SoonBig title, countdown, the match up and the ticker.
Intro VideoYour own intro video, if you have one. Double click Intro Video in OBS and pick the file.
Caster DeskCam 1 and Cam 2 with name bars, series score under them.
Match UpBoth teams, logos, series score and both lineups.
Head to HeadBoth teams side by side: logo, name and roster, with the series in the middle. Nothing to type.
DraftThe broadcast draft from SMITE 2 Production Studio in the look you pick, with Fearless vault and lineups.
Draft RecapBoth teams' picks and bans with the series score, in this package's look.
In GameThe SMITE 2 spectator view with small team plates beside the game's own score bar and an optional lower third. Nothing in the corners, so the minimap, objective timer, team lists, gold and stats table stay clear.
Post GameThe game's end screen in a frame, the result and the series score.
Post Game StatsYour two cams, then a stats board for both teams once the post game screenshots are read and you press Show. The dock's POST GAME STATS box says where the stats stand.
VictoryThe team that won, full screen: its logo, the big word, what it won and the score. Plays each time you switch to it.
InterviewOne big cam with a name bar and the series beside it.
Be Right BackPause screen with an optional countdown.
Series TrackerEvery game of the series: both teams' picks and who won each one.
BracketSingle or double elimination, Swiss or groups, any team count, in four looks. Set it up under BRACKET in the dock; winners move on by themselves.
ScheduleUp to six matches with times, LIVE and FINAL scores.
Thanks for WatchingFinal series score, what is up next and your socials.

Screens that are not on air shut down and everything runs at 30 fps, so OBS only works on the scene you are showing. Each screen slides in when you switch to it.

2 Pick your cams and the game

3 Add the dock

  1. In OBS open the Docks menu (in some versions it is under View, then Docks) and choose Custom Browser Docks.
  2. Type Pantheon Dock in Dock Name.
  3. Paste this in URL:
http://absolute/C:/Pantheon-Package/controller.html
  1. Press Apply and close the window. Drag the dock where you want it.
  2. Click through a few scenes. The top of the dock should say how many screens are open.

The address above is the easy way. A plain path to controller.html works too, like C:\Users\You\Desktop\Pantheon-Package\controller.html (leave out any " marks): when the dock opens inside OBS it moves itself to the right address, so it shares its settings with the screens.

4 Link the dock to OBS (optional)

This gives the dock scene buttons, and it sends every change to the screens through OBS too, so they always follow the dock.

  1. In OBS open Tools, WebSocket Server Settings. Tick Enable WebSocket server and press Apply.
  2. Press Show Connect Info and copy the Server Password.
  3. In the dock open OBS LINK AND SETUP at the bottom, paste the password and press Link OBS. The chip at the top turns to OBS linked.

The dock remembers it and links again by itself next time.

5 Running a match

The dock runs top to bottom in the order of a broadcast: SET UP first (teams, logos, casters, OBS), then 1 Starting Soon, 2 Intro video, 3 Caster Desk, 4 Sponsors, ad reads and info, 5 Match Up, 6 Picks and bans, 7 In Game, 8 Post Game and 9 Be Right Back. Steps 6 to 9 repeat for every game. After the games: 10 Bracket, 11 Extra stuff (Schedule) and 12 Thanks for Watching. The step buttons at the top of the dock jump to each step; with the dock linked to OBS, the step on stream says ON AIR.

6 The stinger

Four stingers come set up, one per look: Pantheon Stinger (Norse), (Egyptian), (Greek) and (Japanese). Switch scenes and it plays: two slabs in that look's ground and pattern slam in from the sides with the two team colors on their edges, meet in the middle with the look's mark (a frost star, a sun disk, a laurel ring, a rising sun), then pull back out. Each has its own sound. Linked to OBS, the dock picks the one for the look; otherwise pick it in Scene Transitions.

If it ever goes missing: in Scene Transitions press +, pick Stinger, choose media\PT_Stinger_norse.webm (or _egyptian, _greek, _japanese) from the package and set Transition Point to 560 milliseconds.

Fixes

Screens are black.

Go down this list, checking after each one.

  1. Open Scene Collection and make sure Pantheon Broadcast is the one ticked.
  2. Did OBS show a Missing Files box? The scene file was picked from somewhere else, like Downloads. Do step 1 again and pick the file from inside the package folder.
  3. In OBS open Settings, Advanced. Under Sources untick Enable Browser Source Hardware Acceleration, press OK and restart OBS.
  4. Still black? Press this button. It makes a scene file with the full address of this folder written in. Import that one (it is in your Downloads) and pick the newest Pantheon Broadcast.

The folder shown in step 1 is wrong?

Type it, then press the button again. The dock address in step 3 changes too.

The dock says "No screens open", or the screens do not change.

The dock address points at a different folder than the screens. In OBS open Docks, Custom Browser Docks and put in the address from step 3 of this page, opened from the package folder. Then right click a screen in OBS and press Refresh. If the dock is linked to OBS it also shows a yellow box with a button that points the screens at the dock.

OBS will not link.

Make sure the WebSocket server is enabled and the password is the one from Show Connect Info. The address is ws://127.0.0.1:4455 unless you changed the port.

A cam window is empty.

Double click Cam 1 or Cam 2 and pick a device (step 2). Check its eye is on in that scene.

The scorebug covers something in the game.

The team plates sit either side of the game's own score bar, made for the SMITE 2 spectator view at 1920x1080. If your game layout differs, click PT In Game in the In Game scene and move it with the arrow keys.
