OBS overlays

Seven overlays for your stream – four for the play styles, plus Board Comms for everything, the original with its familiar look and the glass pane from BalduursGATE. They pull live whatever the crew reports through BalduursGATE: who is out there, casualties, distress calls, finds, chapters. What nobody reports stays empty – nothing is made up. The background is transparent, the center stays free for the game.

Sample data

Combat Comms

PvP · Dogfight

Squadron in action, casualty reports from the last two hours, hot zones and a combat level from “Quiet” to “Engaged”. A crew MAYDAY appears at the top center.

Shows the current track on 128.2 PvP Combat.

Chronicle of the Verse

Roleplay

The current chapter as a lower third with location, phase and game master, the groups that have formed and rotating quotes from the logbook. Kept calm – the center belongs to the scene.

Board Comms

All-rounder · Command Net

The successor of the old Command Center overlay: a situation map with orbits and the crew at their planets, a comms log, the current mission with its objectives, a MAYDAY banner and a status bar with RSI status, crew, missions and radio.

Board Comms Classic

The original

The previous Command Center overlay with its familiar look – now also freely arrangeable and resizable. The old address /static/overlay.html keeps working unchanged.

Glass pane

BalduursGATE / Roleplay

Director and RP messages from BalduursGATE right in your stream – in the look of the glass pane over Star Citizen. Only what the director explicitly released for the stream when sending is shown.

1. Click Copy on one of the overlays above.
2. In OBS under Sources click + → Browser and give it a name.
3. Paste the address into URL and enter width 1920 and height 1080. OBS’s custom CSS can stay – it makes the background transparent anyway.
4. Place the source above your game capture. Done – no chroma key needed.
5. After an update OBS sometimes still shows the old version: select the source → Refresh.

Every panel can be moved freely, made bigger or smaller, or hidden – to fit your game view and your camera. The layout then lives in the address, there is nothing to save anywhere.

1. Click Arrange on the overlay you want – it opens with sample data and a grid.
2. Drag panels with the mouse, change their size with the mouse wheel, double-click to hide and show them. Arrow keys nudge precisely, with Shift in steps of ten; Alt turns off the grid.
3. Click Adresse kopieren (copy address) at the top and paste that address into the OBS browser source. Done.

Panels in the lower half grow upwards, panels on the right grow to the left – so a list at the bottom left never runs off the screen. “Zurücksetzen” (reset) restores the original layout.

Combine several options with &, for example ?demo=1&chroma=gruen. The data comes from the client – without BalduursGATE your own name stays out.
