HEY THIS WAS REALLY RUSHED TOGETHER FOR A TOURNAMENT IN TWO DAYS. PROBABLY TONS OF FEATURES MISSING AND STUFF MIGHT BE BROKEN.
So you want to do a Rivals of Aether stream, huh? Well, today is your lucky day, because I have done tons of work so you don’t have to! With this tool, you will be able to set up a RoA tournament stream in no time.
Now with a Discord Server!
Also available for Melee and Rushdown Revolt!
- Easy and fast setup using a browser source. Drag and drop!
- Handy interface to quickly change everything you need, like player names, pronouns, characters, scores, round, casters...
- With customizable Player Presets to setup your match in no time! Caster presets are now also supported!
- Every single character and skin the game has to offer is supported (more than 300 different skins!), including HD renders.
- You can also add in custom skin codes for any character!
- Workshop characters are also supported!
- A "VS Screen" to be displayed when waiting for the next game.
- A Bracket View to showcase the Top 8 of your tournament!
- A Remote GUI that can be accessed by any device within the local network, including mobile devices!
- Now with 2v2 support!
- Dynamic, optional intro to be played when changing to the game scene.
- Easy to customize! Add workshop characters, custom overlays or even dive into the code if you're brave enough!
These are instructions for regular OBS Studio, but I imagine you can do the same with other streaming software:
- Get the latest release.
- Extract somewhere.
- Drag and drop
RoA Scoreboard.htmlinto OBS, or add a new browser source in OBS pointing at the local file.- If the source looks weird, manually set the source's properties to 1920 width and 1080 height, or set your OBS canvas resolution to 1080p, or make the source fit the screen.
- In the source's properties, change Use custom frame rate ->
60(if streaming at 60fps of course). - Also tick
Refresh browser when scene becomes active. With it, the intro animation of the html will play each time we swap to this scene. - Manage it all with the
RoA Stream Toolexecutable.
Repeat from the 3rd step to add the VS Screen.html and Bracket.html views, though I recommend you to do so on another scene.
It is very recommended that you turn off the in-game top HUD. The overlay was made with that HUD off in mind.
- Press
Enterto update*. - Press either
F1orF2to increase P1's or P2's score. - Press
ESCto clear player info*.
** Functionallity may change in some menus to ease workflow.*
For developing, there are some shorcuts to make things easier:
- Press
F5to reload the GUI. - Press
F12to open the dev console. This will also unlock window resolution.
Yes, the instructions above are enough, but we can do better. All of this is optional of course.
2 basic transitions are included in the Resources/OBS Transitions folder, intended to be used to change to the game scene and to the vs screen, if you don't have a transition yourself of course. To use them on OBS:
- Add a new stinger transition.
- Set the video file to
Game In.webmif creating the game scene transition, andSwoosh.webmif creating a vs screen transition. - Transition point ->
350 ms. - I recommend you to set the Audio Fade Style to crossfade, just in case.
- On the scene's right click menu, set it to Transition Override to the transition you just created.
- Also, you may want to set a hotkey to transition to the game scene so you can press enter ingame to start the replay and press the transition key at the same time. The transition is timed to do so.
Also, you may find the "3 2 1" of the game's intro a bit distracting when combined with the scoreboard intro. These are the sprites to remove them (using the Modding Tool).
The Stream Tool GUI can be controlled remotely by any device within the local network where the GUI is running, and yes, this includes mobile devices! Please take a look at the wiki for instructions.

The project now has a Discord server! If you need support about this (or other) stream tools, you're free to join us!
Workshop creators! Do you want your character added to the Stream Tool? There's a guide to help you do that, don't worry!
Do you want to adapt this project to another game but can't figure out how to? Lucky for you, I'm open for commisions! Contact me on Twitter @Readeku or on Discord Readek#5869!
Do you want to support this project? You can contribute, and get some extra rewards, on Ko-fi or Patreon! Every bit helps towards development of more features and stream tools!
This project is basically my learning grounds as a web developer. This is actually where I started learning javascript! As such, the code you're about to see may be unoptimized or badly written, so if you know how the web dev world works, please leave suggestions about how to improve the project as pull requests, or take a look at the issues page to see if you can help with those! Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Also, you may wonder, what happened to the old, lua scripted version of this controller? Well, turns out obs is just not ready for this kind of stuff. Current version of OBS doesn't have any kind of animator, and has to stutter to load every image you want to change, so it was really hard to get around that. Also, was much harder to update. With this javascript version, I wanted to make things better so I could update it with more ease. Anyways, the link of the old version will stay up if you ever want to know about lua obs scripting!
