ORTS is no longer maintained. Check out its successor GORTS, which is lighter weight and sports a new design which is compatible with newer fighting games.
ORTS is a StreamControl ripoff with an opinionated set of quality-of-life features:
-
Visible diff & easy undo: Changes not yet applied to stream are highlighted and can be discarded with the Discard button (duh).
-
Player name + country import: Currently supports smash.gg. data is saved as a csv file which can then be updated manually using any (decent) spreadsheet editor.
-
Better player name lookup: Matches names containing your query rather than starting with (one of my pet peeves about StreamControl).
-
Cross-platform: Tested on Windows & Linux. Should work on OS X too but I don't use it so you're on your own.
Stable builds for 64-bit Windows can be found in Releases.
I used to provide Linux builds but glibc/fontconfig versioning shenanigans put me off.
Also I only run streams on Windows so it's just not worth the effort anymore.
It definitely runs on Linux though, since that's where I primarily develop ORTS on.
Simply pull the code & run poetry install --no-dev, then python orts.py.
- Run the orts executable.
- Open OBS => Add browser source => Point to http://localhost:1337
- Browser size must be 1920x1080.
- If you want to manually tweak player names after importing from smash.gg, edit
data/players.csv with any text editor (notepad++) or spreadsheet editor (excel or
libreoffice calc
if you're poor like me) - If you want to customize the look, open up the web folder and go wild. You only need basic HTML/CSS/JS knowledge to work on it. No fancy frameworks.
Requires python >= 3.7 because we need the added-in-3.7 ttk.Spinbox widget.
I also use poetry, so instead of pip, just run poetry install to install dependencies.
