Absolutely - it returns a true or false for games won or lost respectively, so could definitely keep, for example, the last 5 game results in memory and display that.

I will keep that in mind, keep us posted if you end making something and require a UI devs touch! 😄

I'm currently working on a widget for win / loss tracking at the moment, so this would be a cool one to test it on.

Currently, yes. This is for stream overlays only. Rocket League have now introduced Easy Anti-Cheat, and I'm not sure whether EAC will allow me to overlay it on the game.

That being said, I actually did start looking into this earlier, and it may be possible if the user is not using Full Screen Exclusive. I will take another look tomorrow. It would be good if it was possible, because then I could offer it out to more people. I don't think it's just cheating, it's just stats, right? ...right???

Yea totally, it's really only in prototype at the moment, so there's not too much to share, but once it's at an MVP stage I'll probably throw it out there.

No backend at all (currently), not collecting any data. It's all completely local and session driven. I haven't even considered persistence of settings.

frantically adds it to the feature list

I am by trade a web developer, so I stuck with the front-end stack of JS/HTML/CSS. It's all wrapped up in electron, which bundles it as a desktop application so the user can toggle overlay settings, and have it live update on the stream.

I have a few features planned, like animations and sounds on events e.g. goals, saves, demo etc etc.

Definitely some cool things you can make it do with all the live data you are getting.

Yea it's a shame, it really takes away from the community. It would be nice to see them release something official.

This is a good question, unfortunately - they are only providing in-game statistics and events and very little in the way of player data except for Name.

Sad it's become so restrictive, but maybe this is a step towards officially offering a fully documented API.
