OBS Overlay

The OBS overlay puts your live Hunt: Showdown 1896 stats on stream as a transparent browser source. It updates on its own as you play - kills, deaths, KDA, MMR, bounty and more.

Try it first

You can play with the overlay before subscribing, no account needed. Open the live example, pick a mode, and tweak the controls to see how it looks.

The free 5-day demo

The example uses made-up numbers. To see the real thing on your own stats, start the free 5-day demo - no card, and nothing to cancel: it just ends. Start it from the subscription page: the Overlay plan card carries a "Try 5 days free" link under its Select button.

A few things worth knowing:

One demo per account, ever. It is not offered again once it has been used.
The bayouledger.com watermark stays on for the whole demo. Subscribing hands you the switch for it.
You can subscribe at any point during the demo - you do not have to wait for it to run out.
We tell you the day before it ends, so it never disappears mid-stream without warning.
Everything else is the real overlay, including the faster refresh that keeps it current mid-match.

What you need

There are two ways to get the overlay on the subscription page:

Overlay - the cheapest route. It unlocks the overlay and nothing else: no badge, no coloured name, no place on the supporters roster, and the free watchlist and chart history.
Legend - the top supporter tier. It includes the overlay along with every other perk. Old Blood counts too: it carries the same perks.

Set it up

Subscribe to Overlay or Legend.
Open the editor: Account → Customize → OBS overlay → Open the overlay editor.
Pick a mode, adjust the controls, and watch the live preview update. Hit Save changes when you like it.
Copy the Browser-source URL shown in the editor.
In OBS, add a Browser source and paste the URL. Leave the background transparent - the overlay only paints its own card.

The overlay updates live as your stats change, and whenever you save new settings it re-renders in OBS on its own.

Display modes

Extended - a grid of session stats led by MMR and KDA, with an optional "current session" heading and a season-KDA line.
Compact - a slim single-row badge showing the columns you pick.
History - a table of your last few play sessions.

What you can put on the card

Beyond picking which stats show, the editor has a few options worth knowing about:

MMR comes in two flavours. The plain MMR column shows how much your rating has moved this session (+42); MMR (current) shows the rating itself (3 250). You can show either or both - if you show the current rating, it stays on the card even before your first match of the night.
Show Clash rating swaps every rating on the card to your Clash rating instead of the bounty-hunt one. It's a swap, not an extra column, so the card never shows both at once. Only the numbers change - the labels stay put, so flipping it never nudges your layout. If you've never played Clash, those cells read —.
Show avatar puts your Steam profile picture next to your name.
Separator lines covers every thin rule the card draws - under your name and rank, and above the season KDA. They're on by default; turn them off if you want a barer card.
Show MMR rank adds your global placement, like #237 · top 4%, on its own line under your name. Two things to know: you need to be visible on the leaderboards for it to appear at all (a private account, hiding yourself from the boards, a long break, or too few kills will leave it blank), and it's a standing rather than a live number - it refreshes about once an hour at best, so don't expect it to move during a stream.
Show goal puts your active goal on the card: the metric, a progress bar, where you are against the target, and what the current session has added to it. The toggle stays greyed out until you have set a goal on your own dossier. Set or change one mid-stream and the card picks it up straight away; finish it on stream and it switches to its done state right then.

Fonts and colours

Two pickers under Appearance change how the card looks without touching what it shows. Both start on what you already have, so nothing moves until you pick something else.

Typeface offers six looks, each a genuinely different kind of lettering rather than six shades of the same one: Field Telegraph (the original) · Condensed, narrower so more stats fit across · Gazette, a serif with a newspaper feel · Terminal, a flat data-readout look · Arcade, heavy and squared with your name in a bold display face · Dispatch, engraved capitals over typewriter figures. Every font ships with the overlay itself, so what you see in the editor is exactly what OBS draws - it doesn't depend on fonts being installed on your machine.
Colour scheme changes the colours used for gains, losses and the rank badge. Bayou is the green-and-red you have now; Vivid is punchier over busy footage; Ice and Ember are cool and warm takes; and Signal uses blue and orange instead of green and red, which is the one to pick if you or your viewers find red and green hard to tell apart. Mono drops colour entirely - gains and losses are the same grey - for a scene the card shouldn't tint; your rating change and session KDA still carry a + or -, so you can still see which way the night is going.

Both are set per display mode, so you can style Compact differently from Extended.

Every overlay also carries a connection indicator, which isn't a setting and paints nothing while everything is working. It stays deliberately small and dim - a hint in the very corner rather than an alarm. If the overlay loses its connection you'll get a small amber dot there; if it turns red, your overlay URL has stopped working and you need to copy the new one out of the editor. The colour scheme never changes this dot: it's a warning light, so it has to look the same whichever scheme you're running.

Keep your URL private

The overlay URL holds a private token - anyone who has it can see your overlay, so don't show it on stream or share it. If it ever leaks, open the editor and Rotate token: that issues a new URL and the old one stops working immediately.
