🎮 TroyMetrics GamerStats 1080p

RTSS / RivaTuner Overlays by TroyMetrics 👻

🌈 Animated Multi-Color Gradient (Experimental)

This is an experimental overlay created to test whether a multi-color animated gradient can be achieved inside RTSS Overlay Editor,

Turns out… it can. Sort of.. 😂

⚙️ How It Works

The multi-color animation is built from six stacked layers, each referencing one of the six sprites from the included .png sprite sheet. These layers combine into a flowing rainbow effect through:

• Dynamic Color Regions – Each sprite fades in/out based on a shared timer.
• Master “R1” Timer Sensor – R1 cycles from 0 → 6000 ms repeatedly, and all six layers reference this timer to determine their fade boundaries and visibility windows.
• Layer-Specific Visibility Rules – Each sprite becomes visible only during its assigned section of the R1 cycle, creating a smooth multi-color sweep across the overlay.
• RainbowSpeed Sensor – A dedicated multiplier that lets you speed up or slow down the animation by editing its Correction formula.
  • Increase the multiplier = faster gradient
  • Decrease the multiplier = slower, smoother motion

🛠️ Setup & Installation

✅ Prerequisites

Before setting up the TM GamerStats 1080p Overlay, make sure the following software is installed and properly configured:

✅ MSI Afterburner + RivaTuner Statistics Server (RTSS)

🔽 Download the latest BETA versions of MSI Afterburner & RTSS from www.guru3d.com

📝 Note: The latest beta builds are often shared exclusively on the official Guru3D forums by the developer, Unwinder.

• The MSI Afterburner installer includes RivaTuner Statistics Server (RTSS) as a bundle — this is required for the overlay to function.
• During installation, ensure that ✅ RivaTuner Statistics Server is left check-marked.

🛠️ Setup Instructions

1. 📦 Extract and Prepare Files

• Open the downloaded package: TM GamerStats 1080p
• In a new File Explorer window, navigate to your C:\ drive

2. 📁 Copy Overlay Files to RTSS

• Drag and drop (or copy/paste) the folder named Program Files (x86) from the downloaded package directly into your C:\ drive
• If prompted for admin permission:
  • ✅ Check "Do this for all current items"
  • ✅ Click "Continue"

This step places the overlay files in the correct RTSS directory.

3. 🔤 Install the Required Font

• Navigate to:
  C:\Program Files (x86)\RivaTuner Statistics Server\Fonts
• Double-click to install the fonts: Armstrong.otf and Armstrong-Extrabold.otf

---

4. ⚙️ Enable OverlayEditor in RTSS

1. Launch RivaTuner Statistics Server (RTSS)
2. Click the [Setup] button
3. In the new window, go to the Plugins tab:
   • ✅ Enable OverlayEditor.dll
   • ✅ (Optional but recommended) Enable HotkeyHandler.dll
     • Highlight HotkeyHandler.dll & Click [Setup] at the bottom to assign hotkeys:
       • Toggle On-Screen Display: e.g., Home
       • Begin/End Recording: e.g., Page Up / Page Down

⚠️ If you’ve already assigned hotkeys in MSI Afterburner, you can skip this step or unassign them there. Only one program should manage OSD hotkeys to avoid conflicts.

5. 🎛 Load the Overlay in OverlayEditor

1. With OverlayEditor.dll enabled, double-click it or click [Setup] after high-lighting it
2. In the Overlay Editor window:
   • Go to the Layouts tab → Click Load
   • Select one of the TM GamerStats presets → Click Open

---

6. 🧠 Apply Master Settings (Important)

🧙‍♂️ This step only applies to presets that are not locked.

• Since RTSS Beta 7.3.2, you can now use Ctrl + Shift + M to apply the overlay’s master layout settings. Otherwise, follow the steps below for manual application.
• Back in the Layouts tab → Click Edit
• In the Overlay Properties window:
  • Click [Master Settings]
  • Click Yes when prompted
  • Click OK to finalize

✅ Your overlay is now fully active and ready to use!

🎨 Color-Mod (Color Adjustment)

The following settings apply specifically to these presets:

• TM GamerStats Color-Mod 1080p

The Color-Mod presets let you transform the overlay’s accent color instantly. Just set a value from 0–100 in the Color sensor's Correction formula field and the entire overlay shifts to your chosen hue! — no manual layer editing required. 🪄

To adjust the color:

1. Open the Color sensor in your data source list.
2. Set a value between 0–100 to define your desired hue across the full RGB spectrum.

A handy Color Reference Chart is included to guide your inner artist:

🧙‍♂️ Setting the Color sensor to 50 produces a Cyan accent color.
