Novice user, not sure where to put this.

Hi all.

I'm new here, and rather inexperienced with ISBoxer, so bear with me. d;

I have my ISBoxer up and running, everything is fine on that end, but my problem is this;

I stream quite a few games and I wanted to start streaming when I'm quadboxing my D3 also.
At the moment that works fine, but 'fine' isn't good enough.
I am quite anal when it comes to my production values and I just can figure this one out.

Usually when I'm streaming I have several 'scenes' prepared, which I can easily swap with F9-12.
This never gives any issues, unless I have ISboxer running and I'm focused on one of the 4 D3 screens.
I have also set up F9-12 to swap games.

What I'd like to happen is, when I hit F9 to go to my main acc, OBS switches to scene 1. Hit F10, swap to acc.2, OBS changes to scene 2. F11, F12... Rinse, repeat.
But the problem is, when I'm focused on any of the game windows, OBS no longer "receives the F-buttons."

I've played with 'broadcasting' in the ISBopxer Toolkit, to no avail.

I have no experience with setting up 'round robin' keymaps (yet).


Can anyone advice me? Greatly appreciated.

Re: Novice user, not sure where to put this.

When I thought I had it fixed after I enabled 'broadcast this keystroke' under 'when I switch to this character', I tried it out "for real".
Unfortunately it still wasn't doing what I wanted it to, but there was a video made... d;

If anyone is interested or if what I mean is unclear, here is said video; http://youtu.be/1f4M_lP9fAU.
What you can see in it is the games changing focus, but the scenes not following.

Again, any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: Novice user, not sure where to put this.

Well, you can only have one application receive the hotkey input. That will either be ISBoxer, or OBS, so make up your mind on that one. It will generally depend on what is the foreground window as to which one will receive it.

Also, for any application that you want to have hotkeys that are not part of the ISBoxer configuration, but you want them to work alongside ISBoxer, e.g. if you have F9 setup in OBS, and you want it to work while multiboxing, then you will need to run OBS as Admin.

Holy cow!

Running as administrator worked!

You are the man!
And you have no idea how silly I feel atm. (:
You get to a point where you forget to try the most basic tricks.
Many, many thanks.


Here's the result;

The scenes in OBS changing when I hit the F-keys while I'm in the game. Now I can polish my overlays and just Quad box & stream without being bothered if OBS is doing it's thing correctly.
Thx again bob!
