The RTS Overlay is a tool used to display build orders and match data, related to Real-Time Strategy (RTS) games, showcasing here Age of Empires 2.It can be ...

For those interested, I developed this overlay to display build orders (29 already included from Hera's pdf and YouTube videos) and match data (player Elo, rank, win rate...) while playing.
The tool is easy to use. Just download the zip and run the executable in it (you do not need to launch the game to run the app). Instructions are provided in this video and in the Readme.
The build order overlay is purely manual and basically provides the same features as a pdf reader or post-its on the screens. It shows the build order in a more compact format (one step at a time) and is well suited when playing without a second screen. It is also transparent to mouse clicks, so that it does not interfere with your game. You can use the pre-installed build orders or design your own. It is super easy, as you can see on the video.
I recently saw this other tool which uses machine learning to analyze the screen and automatically select the best build order step (you can use it instead if you want something automatic).
For match data (fetched from https://aoe2.net), there are already other tools providing similar information. The purpose here is simply to have both (build orders and match data) in a single tool.
Any suggestion to improve the tool is welcome :-)
