ARG with vMix (Manual)

Requirements:

• Latest version of vMix
• 2 PCs in the same network
• Access to 2 CS:GO's GOTVs - one live gotv (0 delay) and one delayed (7s delay)

On PC#1:

1. Install Auto Replay Generator (latest) https://www.lhm.gg/download?target=arg
2. Install vMix https://www.vmix.com/
3. Start CS2 through the button in ARG, or launch it with parameters “-tools -netconport 2121”
4. Connect to delayed CSTV

5. In vMix, add CS2 as input, and set it to Output 2 (it will require restarting vMix)

6. After vMix restart, add Instant Replay input and set Camera 1 to Output 2

7. Copy ARG code to PC#2

8. Add NDI input from PC#2 (after step 1 from PC#2)

On PC#2:

1. Download vMix Desktop Capture, install and run it https://www.vmix.com/software/download.aspx
2. Make sure your Lexogrine HUD Manager version is 4.6.0 or later https://github.com/lexogrine/hud-manager/releases

4. Go to Auto Replay Generator tab and fill in ARG code from PC#1 and click connect

5. Connect to CS2's live CSTV

Additional configuration for PC#2 (not required):

You can set before and after kill safeband time (in miliseconds). This will force ARG to show at least this amount of time around the kill. With the default values of 1500ms for both options, that means that ARG will switch to player no later than 1.5s before the kill, and will switch to the next no faster then 1.5s after the kill.

If you have ARG on dedicated PC, not on the one you are running game on, you can specify ip of the machine it’s running on in %appdata%/auto-replay-generator/config.json
