Map on display: Rotten Fields
The marks explain each part of the overlay. The replay is acted out on the screenshot. Fog Scout in custom games at 3440×1440. The game runs in 16:9 here, so the map sits in the black bar next to the picture.
Left: test messages in a custom game, each with its language tag and the original below. Right: the "Service" tab of the window, with request counter and cost estimate at the bottom.

How it works

When a match starts, Fog Scout reads the map name at the bottom left of the screen and puts the matching callout map on top of the game. After the round the map goes away again.

Text recognition runs on your PC. Map detection and the overlay open no internet connection.

Not signed: SmartScreen shows "More info", then "Run anyway". Asks for administrator rights once. Set DBD to Windowed Fullscreen.

Game chat

    Pick the language of the next chat message:

    Prepared sentences, replayed in your browser. Nothing is sent to a service here.

    How it works

    1. Mark the chat area once. Drag a box around the chat. The area is stored relative to the game window, so it survives a different window size.
    2. Press Start. The program looks at that area twice a second and only reacts when the text has changed.
    3. Read the translation. Language, name, translation and the original in small print appear in the overlay and fade after 25 seconds.

    Fair play

    Built to stay out of the game

    Both tools were designed around one rule: do not interact with Dead by Daylight. They are still unofficial. Behaviour Interactive has not approved map overlays or region tools, so you use them at your own risk.

    • ReadsScreen pixels, the way OBS or Discord screen sharing does, and window information.
    • NeverKeyboard or mouse input to the game, or any automation of game actions.
    • NeverAccess to the game process: no memory reading, no injection.
    • NeverReading or changing game files.
    • NeverHidden information. The callout map is a static community map, with no generators or positions.
