Twitch Title Helper

[patrickgh3]

I made a tool that automatically sets your stream title whenever you open a fangame. This should be useful for streamers who like having the game name in their title. You don't have to remember to tab over to your dashboard and type in the name every time you switch games; just click a button. Thanks to Sudnep for the idea and for giving feedback. More info is in the readme. Enjoy!

I hope your balls never cease to do what they do. You even made an little icon that's both cute and relevant.

Does it update the titles perfectly every time, or am I still at the mercy of Twitch on whether or not the title change works?

Just out of curiosity, how did you differentiate fangames from other games?

Seph: Thanks!

Wolsk: I haven't tested it extensively, though in the dozen or so times I tried it I didn't notice it fail to set the title.

Kyir: You tell the tool the location of your root fangame folder. The tool then listens for any new processes started that originate from somewhere within that folder, and assumes they're fangames.

Just uploaded a new version that fixes an issue with saving preferred game titles. I had broken it with a last-minute change. You'll need to delete your preferred_names file.

Just uploaded another new version. There's now an option to toggle on/off remembering the last title you used for a game. And the window now flashes when a game is opened, so you don't forget to click "ok".

Sorry for the minor spam. This *should* be the final version.

this is a great idea and I hope it catches on with the streamers, I usually want to know what game it is and don't want to break concentration etc.
