→ Note: To update the app delete the app folder and extract the new archive elsewhere.

• Two build orders types are available:
  • Simple TXT
  • Illustrated with resources distribution and game pictures (+ BO step selection).
• Add or remove build orders with Add/Remove build order (write the content on the left panel, and the title on the top of the right panel).
  • Write anything for the Simple TXT format.
  • For the Illustrated format, you need to have a JSON format compatible with the RTS_Overlay from CraftySalamander (see examples here).
  • Many build orders can be downloaded from https://age4builder.com or from https://aoe4guides.com.
    • To get the Simple TXT format, click on Simple TXT Build Order to clipboard on the top of any open build order (M icon).
    • To get the Illustrated format, click on Illustrated Build Order to clipboard on the top of any open build order (salamander icon).
• Change their order using Move build order up/down.
• Set up hotkeys (with Hotkey for/to...) for showing/hiding overlay, cycling between build orders and selecting the previous/next step of a build order (only available for the Illustrated format).
  • Use the corresponding hotkeys to show/hide/cycle build orders and steps.
  • You can uncheck a build order so that it does not appear when cycling between the build orders with the dedicated hotkey.
• Change the overlay font size with Overlay font size.
• Change the height of the build order images (only for the Illustrated format) with Overlay images height.
• Change the position of the build order overlay with Change BO overlay position. Once fixed, the upper right corner will never move, but the size of the overlay will be automatically adapted to its content.

Build order widget (Illustrated format):

Additional civilization stats (currently only for 1v1):

Wintime is the median game length of won games with given civilization (indicates in what game phase the player is the strongest).

Settings:

Game history:

Build order configuration tab:

Built-in randomizer:

To use the custom streaming overlay simply drag the overlay.html file to OBS or other streaming software. The file is located in src/html directory in the app folder. Move and rescale as necessary once some game information is shown.

If drag & drop doesn't work, add new source to your scene manually. The source type will be Browser and point to a local file overlay.html.

Overlay active:

• Streaming overlay supports team games as well
• The streaming overlay can be fully customized with CSS and JS, see the next section.
• The override tab can be used to change the information on the overlay. This might be useful when casting from replays or changing a player's barcode to their actual name.

Or change values to something completely different

1. Overlay position and font size can be changed in the app.

2. Build order (BO) font, images size, position and hotkeys can be changed in the app. Other attributes can also be customized in config.json (to find the file click File/config & logs in the app). You have to close the app before making changes to the config file. What can be changed:

   "bo_show_title": true : true to show the BO title, false otherwise

   "bo_title_color": [230, 159, 0] : color for the BO title

   "bo_overlay_hotkey_show": "" : hotkey to show/hide the BO

   "bo_overlay_hotkey_cycle": "" : hotkey to cycle between the different BO available

   "bo_overlay_hotkey_previous_step": "" : hotkey to go to the previous step of the BO

   "bo_overlay_hotkey_next_step": "" : hotkey to go to the next step of the BO

   "bo_font_size": 12 : font size

   "bo_text_color": [255, 255, 255] : text RGB color

   "bo_color_background": [30, 30, 30] : background RGB color

   "bo_font_police": 'Arial' : police font

   "bo_opacity": 0.75 : opacity of the window

   "bo_upper_right_position": [1870, 70] : position for the upper right corner

   "bo_image_height": 30 : height of the images

   "bo_border_size": 15 : size of the borders

   "bo_vertical_spacing": 10 : vertical space between the BO lines

   The images used in the build order overlay can also be defined in the same configuration file (path relative to src/img/build_order).

3. Team colors can be changed in the config.json. Colors are stored as a list of RGBA colors for team 1, 2, and so on.

   "team_colors": [
       [74, 255, 2, 0.35],
       [3, 179, 255, 0.35],
       [255, 0, 0, 0.35]
     ]

4. Civilization stats color can be changed in config.json.

   "civ_stats_color": "#BC8AEA",

5. Streaming overlay customization can be done via custom.css and custom.js in the html folder in app directory. These files will not be overridden with an app update. Look at main.css to see what you can change. In custom.js you can define this function that runs after each update.

   function custom_func(data) {
       console.log("These are all the player data:", data);
   }
