As a streamer, I've always looked for an elegant tool that I could use to adjust my wins/losses/draws count on the fly, or various text tidbits, without having to tab out or edit a file manually. I never found anything, so I decided to make it myself. StreamSAK stands for Stream S-wiss A-rmy K-nife, by the way.
Note: The program creates files to hold the data in the program location. For example, if the .jar file is on my Desktop, it will create its files on the Desktop. I recommend placing it in a folder by itself somewhere, and letting StreamSAK populate that folder. Then, just set up OBS to read in text from the locations StreamSAK created, and your counter/text adjuster is all set up to go!

Since the video (v3.0), lots of awesome changes have been made, check the release notes below to get a better idea of what's been changed.

v4.3.0 (04.11.18) - UI updates; plug-in loader bug fixes.

- Fixed a bug where the plug-in loader would accidentally try to load its own library.
v4.2.1 (04.10.18) - Plug-in library updates.
- StreamSAKPluginLibrary updates to ensure that plug-ins are never out of date with the current plug-in library build.
v4.1.1 (04.09.18) - UI changes to updater; crucial bug fixed.
- New StreamSAK updater UI.
- Fixed bug with plug-in loader which prevented all .class files in a plug-in from loading in.

v4.0 (04.09.18) - UI changes; bug fixes; now can load plug-ins.
- The UI is updated to look cleaner and as "one unit".
- Bugs related to deleting/creating counters/adjusters have been patched.
- You can now create your own plug-ins for StreamSAK. They appear as buttons under the adjusters, and selecting them will perform whatever action you have coded. I intend to create (free) plug-ins in the future that you can download and use if you want StreamSAK to have more functionality outside of just being a counter/text changer.
v3.1 (04.08.18) - Added space between CLEAR LOG, and the counter/adjuster options.
v3.0 (04.08.18) - UI overhaul; linking adjusters to counters moved to file instead of file naming convention; added increment/decrement options; added linking option directly in program.
- Major UI overhaul fixes lots of bugs with large counter/adjuster names.
- Linking adjusters to counters is no longer done with files (e.g. wins--sr.txt would link wins to sr). Now, it is done by the program automatically in the links.properties file.
- You can now increment or decrement a counter. Clicking a counter name will just display its value.
- You can now link an adjuster to a counter from within the program.
v2.2 (04.06.18) - Revised creation/deletion options; added self-check updater; adjusted counter naming convention to show if it calls an adjuster.
- Deleting counters and adjusters isn't quite as picky. You used to have to type the exact name of the counter/adjuster, which you may not have realized since it could have been hidden (e.g. the counter "wins--sr" would display as "wins"). Now, the program automatically finds the best match to delete (e.g. "wins--sr" would be deleted if you just typed "wins").
- If counters automatically called an adjuster after use, you had no indication. Now, if it calls an adjuster, it is displayed in its name (e.g the counter "wins--sr" would be displayed as "wins [ 1]--sr").
- If StreamSAK is out of date, it will let you know with an option to update it.
- Automatic Adjuster Calls (the thing that will automatically allow you to modify your adjuster after you click a counter) was shortened to AAC, and changed into a toggle button rather than a checkbox.
- Supporting the developer (me) has been moved from the title to directly above the log, and isn't as "in your face". Now it just says "Support the dev", instead of a direct link to my Twitch channel.
- When to provide input is more obvious (textbox changes color, and cursor always flashes).
- Minor GUI "bug" fixes.
v2.1 (04.06.18) - Added creation/deletion options of counters/adjusters.
- You can now create and delete counters and adjusters directly from the program.
v2.0 (04.05.18) - Original release.
