[OBS] Automatic Scene Switching

Do you regularly stream Rock Band 3 and want a more elaborate setup, such as switching scenes when you enter song?
This is easily done with PyCHOSS, an automatic scene switching program for OBS.

PyCHOSS is designed to be used with Clone Hero, YARG, and with Rock Band 3 Deluxe running on RPCS3.

Initial Setup

Caution

Do NOT stream the setup process!

1. [Download the latest release of PyCHOSS for your platform].

   

2. Open PyCHOSS.

   

3. Swap to the RB3DX tab then click on Browse currentsong.txt.

   

4. Find the currentsong.txt file.
   It will be located within dev_hdd0/game/BLUS30463/USRDIR.
   By default, this is located in RPCS3’s install folder on Windows and ~/.cache/rpcs3 on Linux.

   

5. Open OBS and leave it open.

6. Back in PyCHOSS, match Gameplay, Menu, and (Global) AFK Scene’s names in PyCHOSS with the ones in OBS.

   • Gameplay’s scene should be when you’re playing a song.
   • Menu’s scene should be when you’re outside of a song.
   • The AFK scene is the scene for when you step away from the computer or need privacy. Scene switching will be disabled until you swap back to the Gameplay or Menu scenes.

   You can name them whatever you want.

   

7. Switch to OBS and go to Tools > WebSocket Server Settings.

   

8. Tick Enable WebSocket server then click Apply at the bottom.
   Afterwards, click on Show Connect Info

   

9. Take note of the server port and password.

   

10. Copy this info into PyCHOSS under the Websocket Connection section.

    

11. Click Connect in PyCHOSS.

    

    If it connects successfully, you can close out the WebSocket Connect Info and WebSocket Server Settings in OBS.

    

Usage

After initial setup, all you need to do is click Connect in PyCHOSS afterwards.
It will automatically swap scenes in OBS for you!
