Sequence tipping for access to a private show.

Written by asdfghjkl28, graphics by weetimmi.

You set a starting price and the number of tokens you want to make overall before starting the show. The app calculates the final number in the sequence based on these numbers.

The sales begin and adverts are sent at intervals. The subject and the adverts keep track of what is the next number.
When someone tips the right amount for access, they are added to the list. Optionally, their messages are highlighted in chat.

If the final number in the sequence is reached or if the time limit (set by you) expires, the show begins.

After the show begins, people can still tip for access to the show but the adverts are only sent to users when they enter the room.

Optionally you can choose to only allow people with access to the show to talk after the show starts.

Configuration settings:
Show name - The name of your show, this will be used in the subject and possibly in other messages to tell the users what they are tipping for
Busy mode - You should turn this on if you have more than 2000 users in your room
Starting ticket price - This is the price of the first ticket in the sequence
Allow over-tipping - If Yes, then a tip of any number above the next ticket number will get the ticket (the sequence will still increase by 1). If set to No then people must tip the exact next number, if two people tip the same, the first tipper gets the ticket and the other must try again with a higher tip.
Target total tokens - This is the number of tokens you want to make before starting the show. The app will then choose the right end number for the sequence to make you at least this amount. Note that if the timer expires before the target is reached, you will make fewer tokens.
Time limit for sales (minutes) - This is the time limit after which the show will start. Once this expires, the subject will change and the show will start. Users who haven't tipped for access won't be able to see your cam.
Interval between adverts (minutes) - This is the time between adverts giving details of the sequence app and how to tip for access

Broadcaster commands:
/timelimit [time] - set the time limit before the show automatically starts to [time] minutes from now (don't include the [] brackets). You can do this at any time to shorten or lengthen the sales period.
/listpatrons - get a list of all patrons
/addpatron [username] - manually add [username] to the list of patrons and send them the password
/startshow - start the show manually (start limiting your camera to only those who have tipped for acces)
/stopshow - stop the show (open your camera up to the public again)

Anyone commands:
/help - show the available commands

IMPORTANT: you MUST type /stopshow before you deactivate the app otherwise your camera will remain private. If you forget to do this, re-activate the app and type /stopshow
