how would I use vkcapture on heroic? for steam you have to set parameters for obs to recognize it, and the vkcapture github says it works with games outside of steam .

you have to write a wrapper script and tell heroic to use the wrapper

i have no idea how to write scripts, how would one do that?

optimistic-gold•16mo ago

how do you set it in Steam

plain-purpleOP•16mo ago

you set game launch parameters like obs-gamecapture env OBS_VKCAPTURE=1 %command%

rival-black•16mo ago

you probably need to write a script that calls

obs-gamecapture "$@"

obs-gamecapture "$@"

and use it as a wrapper

plain-purpleOP•16mo ago

but does that involve knowledge in script writing?

rival-black•16mo ago

i mean writing scripts is pretty simple that is a script

plain-purpleOP•16mo ago

i see

rival-black•16mo ago

#!/bin/bash
obs-gamecapture "$@"

#!/bin/bash
obs-gamecapture "$@"

would probably do it i guess you could set env vars if you had some setting

plain-purpleOP•16mo ago

i just put that in the wrapper argument?

rival-black•16mo ago

you have to put it in a script and mark it executable

plain-purpleOP•16mo ago

okay

rival-black•16mo ago

note the script has to be somewhere in your $PATH, or you have to give the full path to the script to heroic

optimistic-gold•16mo ago

actually you can add those in Heroic settings normally go to advanced tab and set obs-gamecapture as a wrapper and OBS_VKCAPTURE=1 as environment variable @Allora having script is redundant in this case 😄 you just used a wrapper to call a wrapper

rival-black•16mo ago

i didnt know if they wanted some env vars or other stuff, rather also makes sense, im always doing other stuff in there so i end up with scripts haha

optimistic-gold•16mo ago

well, scripts are a good solution too 😅

rival-black•16mo ago

you are def right that they can do your way with less effort x_x

optimistic-gold•16mo ago

yeah don't add %command% like I said just add obs-gamecapture into wrapper field and OBS_CAPTURE=1 into env vars

plain-purpleOP•16mo ago

but it needs a name for the wrapper what do i name it then

optimistic-gold•16mo ago

obs-gamecapture

optimistic-gold•16mo ago

like this

rival-black•16mo ago

In the env vars: it should be OBS_CAPTURE for the name and 1 for the value

plain-purpleOP•16mo ago
