TYRANOS'S PROFILE

My name is Richard Allen Torruellas and I love to play games. I also like to do many other things but mostly it's games for me. To me a game has to be fun and some are fun while remaining buggy pieces of crap.

Games inspire a lot of what I do and they make me feel like I get to know the person who made them a little bit more.

Is this the newest version of OBS? I think there are some options in Properties that allows you to capture windows.

Personally I use an older version and it works a treat (if you want to check to see whether that works for you, version: Open Broadcaster Software v0.659b - I don't think it's part of the Studio series of the software in question.)

If you can find a way to resize the recording area, then using windowed version will get rid of the flicker. I think it's the full-screen playing that causes the issue, not your OBS, really.

eplipswich - That actually works with no flickering but now the real question is can I change the window size of the game?
No, you need to change the size of your recording to fit that of the game window. That's what I've been saying - full-screen gameplay causes the flicker. Windowed won't, but you need to find a way to make OBS capture an area instead of the monitor size. There's an older version of the program that allows for that but I don't know what the new version allows (I know it changed the whole layout and got rid of various options). You might need to do a quick google search about capturing set screen areas in the program.

See I tried that at first, however that did not work out so well. I personally could not see a thing on my 1080p monitor for the games. So hopefully by doing that AND making the windows larger artifically (doesn't seem to break anything) I can see what I'm doing and still stream it.

Also what you are talking about is for Game Capture. There is no such option for Display Capture. Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UD3HCnJ_SCI

EDIT: Problem fixed then. Thanks Liberty and Eplipswich. The magic combo is window capture, windowed game, then if you are blind like I am and need a bigger window use scott's window resizer, if not you simply drag the edges to fit the stream screen better. It's not the best solution but I can get a decent picture running with it so mega thanks to you guys for telling me about windowed mode and older versions of OBS.

EDIT: So by making the RPG maker game windowed it doesn't flicker at all in Display Capture mode. However it's tiny. I'll use Scott's Window Resizer for it since it looks like it works. Thanks to eplipswich for the fix.

WIP & Mirak - All of the RPG maker versions flicker like mad on OBS however they show up fine on my monitor. In fact while streaming they flicker while showing up just fine on my monitor.

Liberty - As far as capture methods go I have two choices, game capture and display capture. Something I noticed with game capture is that it does not work at all and gives me black screen no matter how I set it up. Display capture at least gives me the flickering version. But only in game, I think title screens are fine.

So it's no lie that RMN has some dope ass games on it. Born Under the Rain, Boutalles, Dragon Quest Legacy, Homework Salesman, Avarice, and more complex games are definitely hitting the downloads page compared to some years ago. However streaming RPG maker games seems to result in a flickering effect that puts strobe lights to shame.

Now I had been LPing these games for YouTube until a year ago when I got picked up by a partner of HG and then merged?/collabed? with another group. So to summarize this,

- Streaming with HG and Outpost (I'll be doing filler between the two days they have the A team streaming so RPG maker games will be getting a ton of time here)
- YouTube Channel DragonEye which is where reviews will go in video format for those who do not like walls of text with screenshots, as written reviews tend to be.
- Second YouTube Channel which is politics based. Not ideologies, politics. You can sit there and talk about how superior cars would be under your ideology to a woman who needs help on the side of the road. I intend to pull out the toolbox and actually fix her car. Get over it. (This landed me my salary-man job)
- My actual job IRL that I got hired to do because of my second channel.
- Finally managing Outposts schedules and trying to line up times for collabs with our new friends from Canada and our old partners from the US, and now we are looking at an actual merge with a French group. This is a royal pain in the ass by the way. Never manage this shit if you are offered the chance to. NEVER. In the words of my favorite admiral, it's a trap!

Anyways with all this on the plate I have little time to figure out why OBS won't capture a non flickering RPG maker game. I tried different versions of RPG maker too, it's all of them. So I figured someone here must know or have an inkling as to why this is considering it seems like something programmed into RPG maker that I don't know about but need to calculate for.

I officially work for Outpost, a subsidiary/partner of HG, friends with BasedGamer and soon to try a collab, and I know nothing yet of the French group or I'd give the name for them as well.

Anyways look forward to our booth at E3 as well as other conventions!

What are your opinions on the recent Pewdiepie Contryversy?

As a classic liberal I support his right to free speech, especially if it's speech I don't like.

As an educated gentleman and probably one of the few with a degree that isn't garbage in my age group, there is no correlation between telling a joke and whether or not you are racist. Jokes cannot be racist because jokes cannot have feelings about race. The idea they may be invented by racists is silly because considering racism is the epitome of stupidity I find it unlikely that a racist would ever be able to come up with a single "racist" joke we know today, since they are pretty fucking hilarious and that takes some degree of intellect.

As an American, it just shows me who not to trust and who my enemies are.

As a capitalist it tells me Disney caters to the whims of their audience, no matter how loathe they may be to do so.

I somehow doubt this will impact Pewdiepie as much as Totalbiscuits fallacious outrage impacted his own channel.

YouTube LP/Review Channel

I'm down to three games and all of them are being played currently. Nsala Liberation is on it's last legs, I just started Seraphic Blue, and Touhou is underway.

Any suggestions on a game that's a bit more Harvest Moon like? More focused on domestic affairs I should say? Or possibly action games, those are fun, Nsala has me salty as hell though after that wind temple.

Also this is totally a necropost from hell. I do apologize from being too busy to really do much.

EDIT: Can I get this moved to General Discussion? I think it fits there better than in this current thread. Considering Kentona renamed it to what's happening in Game Make & RMN

Speedrunning

I had the inclination to speed run DHM's game Starless Umbra and I once played Forever's End a few times in a row to see if I could speedrun it. Never got too far with that because of a crappy schedule at the time.

I think one huge problem is game breaking bugs. Those can end a run REALLY quickly. Nsala would be speedrun material if it didn't have that key input bug.

Harvest moon Inspired Games?

Wild Season on Steam. Not sure who's making it but it looks like RPG Maker somewhat. In addition to everything else suggested.

New here..list me most Fu$%d up and surreal games?

The Here and Now of Yesterday by Liberty. Just played it and it's pretty ****** up. Also for a mainstream release Soma isn't too bad.

[Poll] What kind of game should I focus on?

Make a sequel to Broken Gauntlet. Let it stand as your foray into strategy RPG's. There were some seriously good things in that game. I for one liked how ruthlessly efficient the AI was. Attacking and then moving away if possible to prevent counterattack.
