A high-performance, customizable overlay for tracking skill cooldowns in any game.

Status Platform

Skill Tracker is a lightweight desktop application that monitors specific regions of your screen (your game's skill bar) and creates a floating overlay. This overlay shows you exactly when your skills are ready, even if you're focused on the action in the center of the screen.

• Real-Time Tracking: Instantly detects when a skill is on cooldown (darkened) or ready (bright).
• Dynamic Overlay:
  • Drag & Drop: Move the overlay anywhere on your screen.
  • Scalable: Resize the icons to fit your setup ideally.
  • Always on Top: Stays visible over your game window (borderless windowed mode recommended).
• Easy Configuration:
  • Visual Setup: Simply draw a box around your skill icons to add them.
  • Live Updates: Changes in settings appear immediately on the overlay.
• Performance: Optimized for minimal impact on your game's FPS.

Animation

1. Navigate to the dist/SkillTracker folder.
2. Run SkillTracker.exe.
3. No Python installation required.

1. Install Python 3.10+.
2. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Run the app:

   python main.py

When you first launch the application, you'll see an overlay (likely empty or with default slots) and possibly the Settings window.

To open Settings:

1. Find the overlay on your screen.
2. Right-Click on the overlay.
3. Select Settings.

1. Open the Settings window.
2. Click "Add New".
3. Your screen will freeze slightly, and you'll see a crosshair.
4. Click and Drag to draw a box around a single skill icon in your game.
5. Release the mouse. The skill is now tracked!
6. Repeat for as many skills as you want.

• Move: Simply Left-Click and Drag the overlay window to position it where you want. The position is saved automatically.
• Resize: In the Settings window, drag the Overlay Scale slider. The icons will grow or shrink in real-time.

• Edit: Select a skill in the list and click "Edit Selected" to re-draw its detection region.
• Remove: Select a skill and click "Remove" to delete it.
• Clear All: Removes all configured skills to start fresh.

• Overlay is Black/Invisible:
  • Ensure your game is running in Windowed or Borderless Windowed mode. Fullscreen exclusive mode may hide desktop overlays.
• Skills not detecting correctly:
  • Open config.json and adjust "brightness_threshold" (default is 100). Lower it if skills are detected as "cooldown" too often.
  • Ensure nothing is blocking the game UI (chat windows, notifications).

If you want to modify the code and build your own executable:

1. Make your changes.
2. Run the build script:

   python build_exe.py

3. The new executable will be in dist/SkillTracker/.
