Streaming Instructions

This feature is available as of HDT v0.14.10. The options menu related to streaming can be found under options (advanced) > overlay > streaming.

Getting Started

  1. Start HDT.
  2. Enable Show capturable overlay window.
    1. We leave the Background color to the default value: #FF00FF (magenta).
  3. For the purpose of setting up: Make sure the general option Hide if HS is in background is disabled.
  4. Start Hearthstone.
  5. For the purpose of setting up: Make sure HearthStone is in windowed mode (not full-screen).
  6. Start a new game versus the innkeeper. You can use this game to setup and test your streaming scene(s).

OBS

  1. Start OBS.
  2. Add a new Window Capture source (e.g. called "HDT Overlay").
  3. Select [Hearthstone Deck Tracker.exe] HDT - Capturable Overlay.
    1. Set Window Match Priority to Window Title.
    2. Enable Capture Cursor.
  4. Rightclick the HDT Overlay source you just added and select Filters.
  5. Add a new Chroma Key filter.
  6. Set the Key Color Type to Magenta (default background color set above), Similarity to 350, Smoothness to 80 and Key Color Spill Reduction to 1. You may have to adjust these values a bit.
  7. Disable Capture Cursor within the settings of your Hearthstone source. Not doing so will cause the cursor to show up beneath the overlay.
  8. Close the Filter window, adjust the overlay size withinin the composition view and start streaming!

XSplit Broadcaster

  1. Start XSplit Broadcaster
  2. Add a new Screen Capture source. Select any window.
  3. Right click the source you just added, set Window Source to HDT - Capturable Overlay.
  4. Enable Stick to title and Show Mouse.
  5. Under Color > Keying select Chroma Key.
  6. Enable Legacy Mode and with the Eyedrop Tool select the magenta of the overlay. The value for the first slider should become around -142.
    • You can bring up the magenta overlay color by alt-tabbing until the window HDT - Capturable Overlay becomes active.
  7. Adjust the second slider until you get the best result.
  8. Adjust the overlay size within the composition view and start streaming!

The HearthStone window contents pass through the overlay source automatically. It should not be necessary to setup a separate source for HearthStone underneath the overlay.

Notes

  • We are not streamers, these instructions are to the best of our knowledge. It is very possible better or easier ways exist. If you know of either (or want to add instructions for other software) feel free to edit this page.

  • It's possible the HearthStone game window contains a solid magenta color, caused by the overlay. Clicking within the game window once removes that color.
