RTSS Overlay Editor Megathread

I understand you are saying no but you are not saying no to what I am asking for because you think I am asking for something different to what I mean

Here are examples:





These longer-term graphs can be very useful. If I am playing the game I will be too busy to check what my frametimes are when I am in a gunfight. But maybe 10 seconds later I can go look. Or maybe I can see that after phase 2 of the match there was a step down in framerate, now that I have a few minutes of each game phase in the graph. I could think of examples where this is useful, all day

I understand the limitations involved with the polling rates and the asynchronously updated graphs, but that is not the only way to approach this matter. I am not insisting on this one solution which you have clearly said is not possible. But I do insist that plotting frametime/rate for longer than a few seconds can be useful, and I really think it is worth a moment to consider how it might be possible to implement this useful feature, even if one method is not possible. You haven't even talked about scaling the graphs yet, and that seems the best way of all. But, maybe that way is bad too.... Other ways surely exist. Please, spare a minute to work with me here. I've seen enough of your work to believe that you could find a good solution if you want to

 

I already accepted that answer, and I already told you that I did. Did you read my message?

 

There is no call for sarcasm.

That's not what it's called at all. It is like, I ask for fruit, and I suggest maybe an apple, or an orange.... and you say, no, you cannot have an apple... so I say, how about an orange, or some other kind of fruit? I don't insist on apples.

This is normal talk, it's not called "not accepting an answer" or anything like that. Just chatting like normal people do. But if you insist on making an argument where there is none, then I cannot stop you.

Perhaps another time when you don't feel like fighting with innocent strangers for no reason you will consider a method for a longer frametime history.

 

We understand perfectly what you want, but this is not compatible with the way frametime graph works.
the frametime graph is intended to be real time 1point per frame. It's a real time graph, not a history, like it is possible in MSI AB.

Done 91 Gauges for RTSS Overlay Editor. Included are bar graphs,round gauges,fire letters,water letters,up,down,left ,right of some gauges for those interested. I will stop spamming the gauges 91 is enough.

A few new gauges I made today in paint

 

I've got a three monitor setup, but can't find the setting to choose which monitor the overlay shows up at, is it even possible to choose which monitor the overlay displays on?

 

You can position the overlay in RTSS, not for a monitor but for the viewport the game is using.
So if the game is running on all three monitors (a sim I suppose), you can then position the overlay for that game, preferably using a game profile and not using the global profile.

The corners are clickable and set the origin of the overlay. If you click the top right corner the overlay will align top right.

 

Hey everyone,

i am looking for someone who would create an overlay in the RTSS out of a mockup i have created in photoshop.
I am willed to pay a small compensation.

best regards

Yes, this was the first thing I tried, but all the corner brackets do is move the OSD around on whatever monitor they are on, not to another monitor.

Is it even possible to change which monitor the OSD is displayed on? The popup for the Viewport/Frame Buffer states that the OSD shows up on "...the last rectangular area [the] application was rendering to" , so am I just stuck with whatever monitor the application chooses for me? I will note that it is always consistent as to what monitor the OSD is displayed on.

 

Can you give some more details on how your game is using the monitors, are you using nvidia surround or is the triple monitor support ingame and displays stay separated?

As a last resort if your game is running in window borderless mode you could use the DesktopOverlayHost (C:\Program Files (x86)\RivaTuner Statistics Server\SDK\Tools\DesktopOverlayHost\Release\DesktopOverlayHost.exe) to display an OSD where you want it to.
Therefor you should disable OSD for general profile plus that game and add a profile for the DesktopOverlayHost where you enable OSD.Then launch DesktopOverlayHost, place it where you'd like it, enable option click-through and there you go.

 

Thanks Andy, no nvidia surround, using X-plane (sim) with triple monitor support in-game. Thanks for the tip on the DesktopOverlayHost program, that one I can put exactly where I want it.

 

Uff... help me out here...
How do i set the "Desktop Overlay Host" to NOT show up in Screenshots. Normally i simply set Application Detection Level to None. But in this case i want the OSD to be display. But not Screenshots of it taken if i want to screenshot something else.

I know i've once had it setup but did a complete Reset at one point.

 

@Haldi you want to make a screenshot of everything what's on your desktop not of the game.
So you need to have everything set to Detection Level None to not have any "active 3D App detected"

 

This didn't age well, and I'm soo happy it didn't.

 

Ahh it been a month got bored,made a couple gauges today,redid some gauges from the internet.I guess I just can not help myself,so I lied and I am posting some more stuff after I said I posted enough in my last post.

Anyway on/off switch,some dials for CPU/GPU and some vertical/horizontal slide bars, temperature gauge blah blah blah
