JKA Crowd Control

An OpenJK build for the JKA speedrunning community that adds support for in-game Twitch chat.

Disclaimer

This build will allow users in your Twitch chat to execute commands against the JKA client console. This is potentially dangerous and you should first understand the risks before using.

Connecting to Twitch

Connection information for the IRC server is stored and read as cvars. The cvars for connecting are as follows:

  cl_ircHost
  cl_ircPort
  cl_ircUsername
  cl_ircPassword

If custom cvars are not provided, the client will connect to "irc.chat.twitch.tv" as an anonymous user.

If the connection fails, the client must be restarted.

Twitch User Commands

Once connected to a channel, users in Twitch chat can can invoke console commands with the ! prefix:

!r_showtris 1
!saber sith_sword

All commands are in the exact format as they are accepted in the game console.

The following commands are always blocked:

say
join
kill
devmap
cl_irc*

Any variables that are changed will be restored to the original value after 20 seconds.
