This guide explains how to configure LiveKit and set up the required browser shortcut for the NPAS live sharing system.

Step 1 - Create and Configure Your LiveKit Account

1. Go to https://livekit.com and create a free account.

2. Once your account has been created, navigate to: https://cloud.livekit.io/

3. In the dashboard, open the Settings menu.

4. Select API Keys.

5. Choose the first API key listed.

You will then be able to view the following information:

• WebSocket URL

• API Key

• API Secret

These values will be required for configuring the script.

Step 2 - Configure Your server.cfg

Open your server.cfg file.

Locate the section where your server tags are defined (the line beginning with sets tags).

Directly underneath this line, add the following configuration:

set lg_helicam_lk_key    "YOUR_LIVEKIT_API_KEY"
set lg_helicam_lk_secret "YOUR_LIVEKIT_API_SECRET"

Replace the placeholders with the API Key and API Secret obtained from your LiveKit dashboard.

Step 3 - Create the NPAS Live Share Browser Shortcut

For best compatibility we recommend using Google Chrome.

1. Create a new desktop shortcut for your browser.

2. Rename the shortcut to something easily recognisable, such as NPAS Helicam.

3. Right-click the shortcut and select Properties.

4. In the properties window, open the Shortcut tab.

5. Locate the field labelled Target:.

You will need to replace the contents of the Target: field with the appropriate command for your browser.

Important

Replace YOUR_IP and YOUR_PORT with the same server IP address and port configured in the script’s config.lua.

Example:

http://123.45.67.89:30120/

After entering the command into the Target: field, press Apply, then OK.

Note

Browser installation paths may vary depending on your system and how the browser was installed. If the shortcut does not work, ensure the browser executable path matches your installation location.
