GameMaster is a Python-based sports scoreboard tool for OBS. In addition to basic scoring functionality, GameMaster can also manage game times, periods, and any other stats or variables related to the sport at hand using a simple JSON configuration file.
Quick-start guide
GameMaster is distributed using a single executable installer. Following the provided instructions with the installer should produce no errors and install correctly.
Windows installation instructions
- Download the GameMaster installer from our GitHub releases page. v2.1.0 and later include an automatic update check, so you'll now know if a new version is available.
- Run the installer and follow the installation directions.
- We recommend that you install GameMaster into the default location, which, in this instance, will be in your local applications folder.
- When the installation is complete, a GameMaster setup tool will run which will allow you to setup up your own config file or pick from a list of examples. It may take a moment to start. Follow all setup instructions.
- Review the newly-created config file before finishing the setup tool.
- Following the conclusion of the setup tool, GameMaster will reload and appear populated as you configured it.
- To use the outputs in OBS, just create OBS text sources that "Read from file", and select whichever of the output files you want.
