Simple scene switcher

Re: Very simple scene switcher

Zekta, not to speak for Chris, but I believe that's the plan. Check out my modified .dll (32 bit only) http://twitch.west.gs/scenesw.dll

Instead of looking at the window handle, it looks at the window name. So set your "main scene" to be your in-game window, and your alt-scene is your out of game/launcher view and let us know how it works. ^_^

Re: Very simple scene switcher

I have been submitting some modified code to Chris. He'll be looking at it soon. The functionality is not complete, although the basis is there. That's why I'm not compiling and distributing it here.
In the updated code I implemented multiple window definitions. And I'm just about to submit a patch to implement the "don't switch when no window matches" option. I have some other plans for the future, but we'll see how that goes

At the moment we're not using any version control system yet, so it's just exchanging zip files. As such, the exchange is not quite as smooth yet as it could be. But hopefully we'll get an updated version up soon.

Re: Very simple scene switcher

Your modified code does indeed sort it :)

 

[chris84]

Big update, please try it and tell us if that fits your needs.
Thanks to ThoNohT for his work.

May I propose you move it to GitHub so more people can help out with it?

OBS already has a fairly active community around it on there and moving the plugins there would be great for everybody.

Either way, thanks for a great plugin!

Gaming, OBS and Open Source <3

Hi kokarn, People can still help out on assembla, but perhaps github might be a bit more accessable indeed. I'm going to leave that decision up to Chris though. If you want to help, an account at assembla is free, and people can still upload patches.

byFd, thanks for the crash report. I will be looking into it. I have tried this combination, and did not get it to crash myself. But the log does show where the error occurs, so I'll see if I can find a way to reproduce, and then hopefully fix it.

Edit: as a workaround, you can enable the checkbox: "match exact window name". That should fix it for now. I hope I can create a patch soon though.

 

[ThoNohT]

I created a possible fix. I only managed to recreate the problem occasionally, and therefore am not entirely sure of the cause. However, my bet is that this should fix it. I can't update the original post to release it proper. But both 32 bit and 64 bit versions can be found in this zip:

https://www.assembla.com/spaces/scenesw ... 4SacwqEsg8

Please try this out (disable match exact window name to test this!) and tell me if the problem is solved, and if the windows actually match.

 

[BeauWest]

ThoNohT, I was getting the crash as well and the updated version fixed it.

On a side note to any users, partial window matching is tricky! Be as specific as possible, for example, I had "Battlefield 3" as my window name, but that also matches the Battlelog browser window title. So whenever I was focused on that tab in Chrome it switched as well.

 

[ThoNohT]

Thanks BeauWest, for confirming the fix.

Another note on partial matching:

Let's use your situation as an example. If you want to define another scene for a window called "Battlefield 3 Battlelog browser", make sure to put that one on top.

• "Battlefield 3" matches both "Battlefield 3", and "Battlefield 3 Battlelog browser" (and "Battlefield 3 cookie monster" for that matter).
• "Battlefield 3 Battlelog browser" only matches "Battlefield 3 Battlelog browser".

Because the plugin looks through the list from top to bottom, and picks the first window that matches, if you put "Battlefield 3" on top, it will match on both, and always select this one. If you put "Battlefield 3 Battlelog browser" on top, this one will match for the battlelog browser, and the actual game will not match, but only to the "Battlefield 3" window name.

In your situation, BeauWest, the solution would be to put Chrome above Battlefield 3, so Chrome is matched first. Then just use the same scene as alternate for that window.

So in conclusion (tl;dr): more specific window names on top, more general window names in the bottom.

 

[byFd]

will test later today, but no worries that it will work for me too :)
thanks!

edit: works like a charm, awesome!

 

[RedEyeCZ]

must have plugin, works flawlessly :)
thanks so much for this!

 

[Dajova]

Tried it when it first was released, was fine and all, but didn't suit my needs at the time.
Tried out the new version and loving it :) Just excellent.

I do have a feature request tho, if i may?
If it would be possible to change stream profile depending on the active window.
Like i have several scenes depending on what game i play, but also several profiles depending what game.
If it would be possible, ofc :) If it's not possible, then i can understand.

 

[Warchamp7]

The top of the OBS window has a profiles dropdown list, it's literally two clicks to switch.

 

[Dajova]

The top of the OBS window has a profiles dropdown list, it's literally two clicks to switch.

Yes i know about that. I wouldn't ask if i already knew it.

Like i said, it's not a major thing, just something i had in mind.

 

[chris84]

If there's an api call that can do that, why not. Don't think there is though as far as I can see.

 

[SgtPepper]

I don't know if I'm using this right.
I already do it so that the plugin detects LoL and changes to the right Scene once the game starts.
But when the game ends, I wanted it to go to the Scene with the Patcher, but if I do that, and then i navigate the internet, I wanted it to change to a Full Screen Scene. And I can't do it, because I can't select Mozilla Firefox in general on the Plugin. Only the specific page I'm on. So the scene don't always change when I want them to.

 

[ThoNohT]

You can edit the text for the window to match. Just remove everything but "Mozilla Firefox", and disable the "match exact window title" checkbox.

 

[chris84]

New version, hotkey support has been added.

 

[zyraxon]

Love this plugin however i am having some problems with it. I have it setup so when i enter a game of LoL it switches to my in-game scene but as soon as the game is over or i exit the game it wont change back to the LoL Patcher/client. To fix this i need to remove it from the plugin and add it again and it works again. Any idea how i can fix this so i dont need to readd it everytime?
