# STAR CITIZEN TACTICAL – OBS Streamer Pack

A free scene pack for Star Citizen streams. The design is called BALDUURSGATE TACTICAL: dark, thin lines, and the gameplay stays in view. It comes in two versions:

| File | For |
|---|---|
| `STAR CITIZEN TACTICAL - CLEAN.json` | any Star Citizen streamer, with no community branding |
| `BALDUURSGATE TACTICAL - BALDUURSGATE.json` | OMC / BalduursGATE, with the Glass Pane and ship comms |

The pack needs **no plugins**, **no accounts** and **no image files**. The font is Bahnschrift, which ships with Windows 10 and later.

## Setup (10 minutes)

1. **Install OBS Studio 32.2.2 or newer** (obsproject.com).
2. **Import the profile:** *Profile → Import* → select the folder `profiles/STAR CITIZEN TACTICAL 1440p60`.
   If you stream in 1080p, use `…1440p-to-1080p60` instead. The scenes are still laid out for 1440p, but OBS outputs 1920×1080.
   Then pick the new profile under *Profile*.
3. **Import the scene collection:** *Scene Collection → Import* → select the JSON file, then pick the new collection.
4. **Star Citizen:** The `STAR CITIZEN GAME CAPTURE` source is already set to the Star Citizen window. Start the game once. If the picture stays black, open *Properties* and select the window.
5. **Webcam:** In the scene `UTIL // WEBCAM`, open `WEBCAM` and pick your camera. It then shows up in every scene. To move it, drag it in the scene you want to change. The frame moves with it.
6. **Alerts:** In `UTIL // ALERTS`, paste your provider's alert box URL into `STREAM_ALERTS // SET YOUR URL`. Any browser alert box works (follow, sub, resub, gift sub, bits, raid, custom). A tactical frame is available as `ALERT_FRAME // OPTIONAL`; it is off by default.
7. **Compact chat:** In `UTIL // CHAT`, paste your chat widget URL into `CHAT_COMPACT // SET YOUR URL` (400×440). It is used in the gameplay scenes.
8. **Large chat:** In `UTIL // CHAT`, paste your chat widget URL into `CHAT_LARGE // SET YOUR URL` (700×960). It is used in Starting Soon, BRB, Just Chatting and Briefing.
9. **Optional:**
   - **CLEAN:** Put any transparent browser overlay URL into `UTIL // CUSTOM OVERLAY`. It is used in scene 09.
   - **BALDUURSGATE:** The Glass Pane is on. COMMS, CREW, MISSION and MAYDAY are prepared in `UTIL // BALDUURSGATE` and can be turned on with the eye icon. The ship comms overlay only highlights your own ship if you add `&ich=YOURHANDLE` to its URL.

Until you enter a URL, the chat, alert and overlay areas show a setup hint. **The hint disappears on its own once OBS is streaming or recording.**

## Editing texts

All texts are regular OBS text sources named `TXT // …`, for example:

- `TXT // STATUS BODY` for the stream status
- `TXT // END YT`, `TXT // END TW` and `TXT // END WEB` for your channels on the end screen
- `TXT // TAG` for the small label in the top left corner

## Countdown (Starting Soon)

Source `COUNTDOWN` → *Properties* → *Custom CSS*:

```css
:root {
  --countdown-minutes: 10;     /* counts from the scene switch */
  --countdown-until: "20:00";  /* or a fixed time, takes priority */
}
```

The countdown restarts every time you switch to "00 // STARTING SOON". At zero it shows "STARTING NOW".

## Scenes

| Scene | Content |
|---|---|
| 00 // STARTING SOON | animated background, countdown, stream status, large chat |
| 01 // STAR CITIZEN – CLEAN | gameplay only |
| 02 // GAMEPLAY + CAM | gameplay, compact chat, camera |
| 03 // JUST CHATTING | large camera, large chat |
| 04 // MISSION BRIEFING | briefing board, camera, large chat |
| 05 // MULTI CREW · 06 // RP / MISSION | like 02, plus a crew or mission line |
| 07 // BRB · 08 // STREAM END | break screen and end screen with channel cards |
| 09 // CUSTOM OVERLAY (CLEAN) · 09 // BALDUURSGATE LIVE | gameplay with your own overlay or the Glass Pane |

The `UTIL // …` scenes are building blocks. A change there applies everywhere.
