I've coded a small program which switches scenes automatically when Brood War switches into a lobby or game, along with customizable hotkeys.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/4as7iertgc8oys2/Birdie's_Scene_Switcher.zip

Unzip the file. Start up OBS and Brood War (it should work for other streaming programs as well, except that xsplit for example has a changing window title. I'll try find another way to get the window handle besides using the window title). Change the hotkeys to what you use for your scenes in settings.ini, and you may need to change the window title too (at time of release the OBS window title is Open Broadcaster Software v0.522b but it could have changed).

Right-click BirdieSceneSwitcher.exe and Run as Administrator. Now when you enter a lobby or a game, it should change scene to whatever your OBS scene is set to, and when you leave a game it will change back.

It's currently quite untested so if it doesn't work for you, please post in this thread with your OBS version, operating system, and whether you're 32 bit or 64 bit, and I'll try to fix any problems.

It doesn't support modifiers for the hotkeys (Shift, Alt, Ctrl).

You realize this already existed and has no such limitations, right?

It doesn't work with OBS.

Pretty sure it uses SendMessage, which won't work in certain situations. It's more ideal if SendMessage works but unfortunately it doesn't with OBS to the best of my ability.

I could easily add modifier support, but I'm lazy and spent hours trying to work out how SendMessage and SendInput and so on worked, so that'll probably come another day.

It uses SendInput, and its a simple fix, OBS just has a stupid way of monitoring hotkeys. And since the source of the other one is available, you can just fix it. I took 30 seconds and did so:

Next time you want to be lazy, try not spending hours doing something when you can do it in minutes

Ah, didn't even notice the source of the other one was available xD still was a good learning experience, even if there was an easier way of doing it.

No, banned for being a previously banned user. I updated the ban reason for clarity.
