Remote control of overlays - Text

Post by jaygrovr »

Is there a way to send a new string or text to an overlay more dynamically? I didnt see a way to do this with the json/http.

Thanks

Yes. Just update one of the macros via the registry. One benefit of doing this is that you are not limited to 10 macros. You can add as many macros as you want.

An easier way would be to install 'Blur Iris Tools' and define macros. Set to not update. Then you can use any program to change the macros in the 'txt' folder. Font size will also change, but you can adjust the length of characters to compensate.
