RoA Stream Tool

Also available for Melee and Rushdown Revolt!

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.

Features

Easy and fast setup using a browser source. Drag and drop!
Handy interface to quickly change everything you need, like player names, characters, scores, round, casters...
Customizable Player Presets to setup your match in no time!
Every single skin the game has to offer is supported (more than 300 different skins!), including high quality renders.
Some Workshop characters are also supported!
Now with 2v2 support!
Dynamic, optional intro to be played when changing to the game scene.
A "VS Screen" to be displayed when waiting for the next game.
All the content on the GUI combo boxes can be edited at will. You can quickly change which characters or skins your tournament is going to be using.
Easy to customize! Add your own skins, workshop characters, custom overlays or even dive into the code if you're brave enough!
This is not a Stream Control clone. It doesn't have anything to do with it, everything is custom made.

How to setup

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.htlm into 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. Trust me, this one is important.
Manage it all with the RoA Stream Tool executable.

Repeat from the 3rd step to add the VS Screen.html, though I recommend you to do so on another scene.

Interface shortcuts!

Press Enter to update.
Press either F1 or F2 to increase P1's or P2's score.
Press ESC to clear player info.

Note: The Scoreboard's intro will only play when refreshing the browser. If you tick the intro box while having the scoreboard's scene open, nothing will change until you go out and back to the scoreboard's scene.

Advanced setup

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.webm if creating the game scene transition, and Swoosh.webm if 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.

It is very much recommended that you turn off the in-game top HUD. The overlay wont cover the player's icons on the top corners, and that will fix it.

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).

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? Buy me a ko-fi or tip me directly!

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 the 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!

Closing notes

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.
