Version History

Release notes and updates for gd streamer.

v1.2.1

Manual Secondary Draw Mode

New input method for tactical secondaries -- for players who use their physical card deck and want to track results digitally.

Manual draw mode#

Tactical secondaries now support a Manual draw option. Instead of the app drawing a random card, you pick your card from a list to match what you drew from your physical deck.

  • Per-player choice -- one player can use random draw while the other uses manual
  • Enable in game settings -- turn on Manual Draw before players can select it during match setup
  • Card picker -- tap SELECT to see all 19 secondary cards with their status (available, discarded, completed, or blocked)
  • Discarded cards shown in orange with strikethrough, still selectable if you returned the physical card to your deck
  • Completed cards shown in green, still selectable
  • Round 1 restrictions still enforced -- blocked cards remain unavailable
  • Works on both tablet and phone input

Dashboard#

  • Manual Draw toggle added to game settings (next to WTC Scoring and Faction Icons)
  • Secondary type selector now shows Fixed / Tactical / Manual per player when Manual Draw is enabled
  • Scores page includes Manual as a type option

Data cleanup#

  • Removed outdated secondary card categories (Purge, Battlefield, Shadow) from older editions

Fixes#

  • 1.2.1 -- Sidebar version number now reads directly from package.json instead of being hardcoded
v1.1.0

Docs, Overlay Options, and Fixes

Documentation site, more ways to customize overlays, and stability improvements.

Documentation#

New docs site with guides for every feature — overlays, dashboard, player input, scoring, co-streaming, and more. Each overlay page includes its available URL options.

Overlay Options#

  • Plain text mode — add nostyle=1 to any player overlay URL to strip the styled background. Useful when you want to place raw text over your own graphics in OBS.
  • Text alignment — add align=left, center, or right to text-based player overlays.
  • Faction names now display correctly on overlays (e.g. "Death Guard" instead of "death-guard").

Dashboard#

  • The overlay URL bar now shows whether you're copying match or channel URLs.
  • Secondary cards moved to the Secondary Missions section on the Overlays page.
  • Navigation no longer shifts when the page loads.

Fixes#

  • The dashboard no longer flashes a loading screen when you open or refresh an overlay in another window.
