Moving from Streamer bot

Moving from Streamer.bot

Cuebot works the way Streamer.bot does (actions, sub-actions, triggers, %arguments%, ~globals~, queues) and can import your Streamer.bot actions. It also replaces Speaker.bot: text-to-speech is built in.

Cuebot is an independent project, written from scratch. It is not made by or affiliated with the Streamer.bot team.

Import your actions

1. In Streamer.bot, right-click the actions you want and choose Export, then copy the export string.
2. In Cuebot open Settings > Import / Export.
3. Paste the string under Import and click Preview. Nothing runs while importing.
4. Tick what you want and click Import selected.

The Import report lists what was converted, what was kept as disabled placeholders (steps or triggers Cuebot does not have yet, kept with their original settings so nothing is lost) and what you should check (for example a file path that only exists on your old PC).

Imports bring actions with their steps, triggers and queues, plus commands, timers and global variables.

What carries over

• Arguments and variables use the same syntax: %user%, %input0%, ~myGlobal~, inline functions like $math()$.
• C# code in Execute C# code steps runs in Cuebot with a compatible CPH API: 199 of the 202 methods in Streamer.bot's C# reference work.
• Cuebot's WebSocket server speaks Streamer.bot's WebSocket API, so overlays and tools built for it keep working.
• /headless and /resetwindow start options are accepted (see Command Line Options).

What is different

• Cuebot runs on Linux as well as Windows.
• Each action can also be edited as a flowchart.
• Platform sign-in happens on each platform's page under Platforms; sign in again after importing.
• Cloud backups go to your own Google Drive instead of a Streamer.bot account (see Backups and Your Data).

Sharing your own actions

Settings > Import / Export > Export builds a Cuebot import string (CUEBOT1:...) or a .cuebot file from the actions, commands, timers and variables you pick, optionally including everything those actions use.
