Model vs. Model Tip Wars

caution

Please remember that CharlesBot is only able to track public tips.

Run a tip war against another model. CharlesBot counts the tips in both rooms, and the room that gets tipped the most wins.

Start a Tip War​

In your Control Panel, open Games & activities and choose Model vs. model tip war. Type the other model's username and, if you want, how long it should run. Leave the length blank to keep it going until one of you ends it.

CharlesBot sends the other model a request, and the tip war starts as soon as they accept. Every tip war ends with a 30 second countdown in both rooms so members can send their last tips.

To show the tip war on your stream, choose Tip war bar settings under the form. See Show the Tip War on Stream.

Answer a Tip War Request​

When another model wants a tip war with you, the request shows at the top of your Control Panel and under Running now. Choose Accept or Decline before the time runs out. Accepting starts the tip war in both rooms.

Post the Standings​

To post who's in the lead and the time left in your room chat, open Model vs. model tip war and choose Post the standings in chat, or choose Post on its card under Running now. The other model's room doesn't see it.

End a Tip War Early​

Open Model vs. model tip war in Games & activities and end it there. You can also choose End on its card under Running now. The card asks End in 30 seconds?, so choose End again. If more than 30 seconds are left, CharlesBot cuts the clock to a final 30 seconds so both rooms can send their last tips. When the time is up, CharlesBot announces the winner in both rooms.

Show the Tip War on Stream​

CharlesBot can show a running tip war on your stream as a bar along the bottom or the top of your cam. It shows who is in the lead, by how much, and how much time is left. You're always on the left of your own stream, and the other model is on the right.

To add it:

  1. In your Control Panel, open OBS widgets and choose Tip war bar. Your OBS widget settings open on the tip war page.
  2. Pick a dark or light theme.
  3. Pick a style: Card, or Slim for a thinner strip that takes up less space.
  4. Pick whether it sits at the Bottom or the Top of your cam.
  5. Choose how solid its background is with Background. See See-Through Background.
  6. Choose Add to OBS, then drag the link it shows into OBS. OBS asks whether to add it, so choose Yes. It arrives at the right size.

You can also add it yourself as a Browser Source that is exactly 960 wide and 260 tall. You can change the theme, style, position and background any time, and the bar in OBS updates on its own.

The bar stays hidden until a tip war starts and hides again after it shows the winner, so you can leave it in your scene. Each model adds it to their own OBS.

See-Through Background​

Background sets how solid the bar's background is, from 100% (solid, the default) down to 0%. Lower it to let your cam show through behind the names, the bar and the time. At 0% there is no background at all, and everything sits right on your cam. The words and numbers get a soft outline so they stay easy to read on a dark or a bright cam. The pop-ups for lead changes, big tips and the winner stay solid so they still stand out.

The preview shows the change as you drag, and it's saved when you let go.

Chat Commands​

You can also run tip wars by typing commands.

Start a Tip War​

!startroomwar [model name] [duration]

This sends the other model a request. Once they accept, the tip war starts right away.

With a duration, the tip war ends on its own after that time, and CharlesBot posts the time left as it goes. Without one, it runs until one of you uses !endroomwar.

Durations can be written as:

  • A number of minutes: 60, 90
  • A number with a unit: 2h, 3d
  • Clock style: 1:30:00 is 1 hour 30 minutes, and 1:30 is 1 minute 30 seconds
Example

!startroomwar ModelName 60

This starts a 60 minute tip war with ModelName.

!startroomwar ModelName 2h

This starts a 2 hour tip war with ModelName.

Post Tip War Status​

!roomwar

This posts which model is in the lead and, if the tip war has an end time, how much time is left.

End a Tip War​

!endroomwar

This ends the tip war. If more than 30 seconds are left, CharlesBot cuts the clock to a final 30 seconds first. When the time is up, CharlesBot announces the winner in both rooms.

Open OBS Widget Settings​

Send CharlesBot a PM with !obs and open the link he sends you.
