Hi fellow Streamers and aspiring streamers.



After trying to find the new version of Starboard, just to realize, that I already had it, I thought: "Wouldn't it be great, to have a thread, with all the streaming related tools in it"

So as usually nothing gets done, if nobody starts it. So I will be posting all the tools I know, with the thread link right next to them.

If I missed a useful tool, don't hesitate to tell me. So here goes:



Tools for Streaming:


Starboard:

Very useful Scoreboard for Starcraft II. Does not overlap with the food count of the in game name panel activated by pressing CTRL + N.

Thread: Starboard

Alpha Caster:

Another Scoreboard for Starcraft II. It seems though, as development on it has stopped.

Thread: Alpha Caster

Twitch.TV Commercial Runner

Nice tool made by Ascend (same as Starboard). It will automatically play commercials, when ever you leave a game, based on the replay folder.

Thread: Twitch.TV Commercial Runner

Stream Privacy:

A tool, that allows you to make a window layered, which prevents XSplit from picking it up.

Thread: Stream Privacy

Show Current Song:

A small tutorial on how to make an overlay with XSplit showing the song you are currently listening to. It auto updates every other second. No more people in chat whining about wanting to know which song is being played.

Thread: Show current Song

Scene Switcher:

This handy little program enables you to switch XSplit scenes automatically when entering a game of Starcraft II or a replay. Same goes for exiting it as well. Alt-Tab support was added not to long ago as well.

Thread: Scene Switcher

StarInfo

StarInfo is a bot for streamers that will display to your stream chat information about your opponent whenever you enter a game on SC2.

Thread: StarInfo

Auto Scene Change:

Practically the same tool, which R1CH made (referring to Scene Switcher) but it allows for a Dual PC set-up and is as far as I can see, a bit more customizable.

Thread: Auto Scene Change

SharpEdit's SC2 Overlay:

Really awesome looking overlays for your stream. You can show people watching the name of your stream, the race you play and what music you are listening to. In addition, they just look beautiful!

Link: SharpEdit's SC2 Overlay

Game Overlays:

Not as much a tool, but rather the race overlays in the bottom right of the screen, so you will have less trouble adding webcam footage etc.

Link: Game Overlays



Tools for SC2 in General


SC2 Scrapbook:

A notebook for Build Orders. You can even activate a transparent overlay, which you can use in ladder games or custom games in SC2. Since the overlay is not injected, there is no possibility of getting banned.

Thread: SC2 Scrapbook


SC2gears:

Really useful tool for players who want to analyse their replays. It shows you your APM, your played BO and a lot more.

Thread: Sc2gears



As I said before: If I missed something, please post it in this Thread, so I can add it to the list.

That's all I can think of right now. It is already past 03:00 AM so I am a bit sleepy

To the Mods: It would be great, if you could add this as a sticky. Pretty sure it will help a lot of streamers out there.

I wish StarFriend was public, the program a lot of featured streamers used to show they're opponents stats , score and league rank in the stream chat as the game was loading / starting, haven't seen it as much lately but that is an awesome program I wish was public T.T, might use one of the overlays, thanks!

I would love to see this open-source, I'd love to be able to generate overlays with those stats while stremaing.
