overwatch_tools

Utilities designed to help players of the game Overwatch.

Description

This repository is meant to contain various tools I come up with to supplement stuff I do in Overwatch. So far I just have a utility to trim highlights (reduces file size and makes it a lot easier to deal with them in video editing).

It should be known that Blizzard has a very strong stance against third-party applications that provide an unfair advantage so this repository will take special care to only improve the competitive integrity of Overwatch.

Requirements

• Python 3 needs to be installed to run anything python. Pip is usually included with the installation, and that's needed to actually install this script.
• ffmpeg needs to be installed in order for the highlight trimmer to perform video manipulation.
• The highlight trimmer has been tested in both Windows Powershell and Windows Subsystem for Linux. Support for actual Linux installations of Overwatch has not been implemented yet.

Installation

• Clone the repository to wherever you feel comfortable. Or download the zip and extract it somewhere. $ git clone https://github.com/CarvellScott/overwatch_tools.git
• Change directories into overwatch_tools.: $ cd overwatch_tools
• Finally pip install . to install it from the setup.py file. $ pip install .

Usage:

usage: highlight-trimmer [-h] [-i INPUT] [-o OUTPUT] [-f FFMPEG_PATH]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -i INPUT, --input INPUT
                        The clip to be trimmed.
  -o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
                        Output filename.
  -f FFMPEG_PATH, --ffmpeg_path FFMPEG_PATH
                        Path to FFMPEG executable.
