SC-Overlay: reading scanner numbers without touching the game
SC-Overlay
When mining in Star Citizen, the scanner only shows a signature number – you have to remember which rock is behind it. So I built an always-on-top overlay that reads the HUD number via real-time OCR and shows what it is right next to it.
The most important rule: fully passive. No reading game memory, no input injection – just pixels from the screen and a window on top. To keep it fast, the live loop uses template matching instead of Tesseract.
A few helpers have joined since: scanning stock from the terminal, searching Game.log for blueprints and kills. Built with Python, OpenCV and PySide6, shipped as a single EXE.
