OBS

OBS is a professional recording and streaming software.


Setup

Download from [[1]]. Read [[2]] for a quick start guide.

Creating a Scene

A scene is a collection of input streams and resources that make up what you want to record. Add a scene to the list by clicking on the '+'-sign in the "Scenes" window. Name it appropriately so you know what is being displayed here.

Adding Sources

Now we have to add the things that need to be capturered under the "sources" window.

The most important input will be the game screen. Since we dont want to record our desktop we have to tell OBS to only capture windows that belong to the EVE client, so we have to add a new resource "Game Capture". Name it and select OK; a new option screen will pop up.

We are going to assume that the game is played in windowed fullscreen mode, which would allow for easy multiboxing and switching between applications over multiple screens. Other modes would work similarly with these settings. It is important that the game is actually running with the desired character so OBS can save the selection and differentiate between additional multiple characters logged in. Chose "exefile.exe" as the EVE game client with the desired name of the character at the end. Chose "Match title, otherwise find window of same executable" for a graceful fallback if the initially selected character is not online and you still want to record with a different one. It is important to activate "Capture third-party overlays (such as steam)" to record the mumble overlay and see who is speaking in the video. This can help immensely with the analysis of combat scenes and their communication situation.
