Extension Configuration Settings
In your Creator Dashboard under "My Extensions" you will see VurPal under your list of installed extensions. Click the settings icon to get to VurPal's extension configuration ⚙️
Display Tab
Unique URL: This is your VurPal URL for displaying it on stream through your streaming platform
Status Bar Position: Choose where the health bars appear relative to your pet (left or right)
Pet Tab
Name: Give your pet a name that will appear every time a viewer interacts with the pet
- Example: If you name your pet "Alfie" and Leo (a viewer) feeds Alfie, it will display: “Leo just fed Alfie.”
Set Health Depletion Time (minutes to go from 100 to 0): This setting determines how long it takes for the health bar to deplete from 100 to 0 without interactions. For example, if set to 60 minutes, the bar will reach 0 in one hour of inactivity
- Recommended setting: 60 minutes to encourage viewer engagement
Set Happiness Depletion Time (minutes to go from 100 to 0): Similar to health depletion, this sets the duration for the happiness bar to go from 100 to 0
Action Tab
Bits Redemption Amounts: Every action that is available to viewers can have its own Bits redemption amount. This is where you can set those amounts
Free Action Cooldown: If an action is set to “Free,” you can add a cooldown period to prevent overuse
Total Cost of Vet Bill: If you assign a Bits cost to the Vet Bill action, this optional field allows you to set a higher total amount that can require multiple contributions
- Viewers will see a progress bar showing how much has been contributed and what is left to pay the Vet Bill
Adding VurPal to your scenes:
1. Copy and paste the URL from the extension configuration page of VurPal
2. In OBS, (or your software of choice) add a browser source to your scene and paste the URL from step 1 into the URL field
