Fix all cross-platform problems by using "jpeg screenshot 90" from the steam-console to make screenshots.

Problem:

• Dota 2 does not support a wait command, so the screenshots cannot be looped without crashing the game.

Synchronizing the screenshots would be possible by using "echo" as a mutex

Possible Solution:

• Inject console commands from python.
• Possible?
• Anti-Cheat watchdogs? Very invasive...

• GUI
• Hotkey-Input-Methods instead of the manual setting to keycodes.
• Steam-directory autodetection

OBS Remote would enable easier switching of scenes and overlays and would give feedback.

This could be used to react to user inputs, like waiting for a dota-scene before switching, to allow intros, views of the browser, etc, whereas now dota2_ols just interrupts everything if a change is detected in Dota 2.

Problem:

• Websocket-Protocol reverseengineering from obs_remote documentation
• python-websockets for python 2.7 does not support everything and may be insufficient for the task
• the complete websockets-implementation requires python3.4

When in Menu, recognise whether you are in a Lobby, to allow for custom Dota 2 Lobby Overlays, to edit out the friendlist, for example

Includes finding a good feature in the lobby.

Right now, the hero-selection state only brings up the draft-overlay.
In spectator-mode, all drafts look the same, but while playing yourself, Hero-Selection looks different than a draft in spectator mode and differentiates between All Pick, Captains Mode, Captains Draft, etc.

If in HERO_SELECTION state, write a detector distinguishing between all possible Pick and Draft states
