HoMM-Monitor

This is a "software package" that allows streamers to display an "HUD" with game information, similar to what is used in MS Studio streams. A distinctive feature: the information is updated automatically. This is achieved by connecting a "plugin" using the HD mod.
The information is displayed as a web page, which can be connected as a source in OBS (and possibly in other programs).
It has two operating modes:
* Player - information is not transmitted anywhere; the player configures the overlay in OBS themselves.
* Commentator - both players have configured the "Player" mode for themselves, but they do not display the overlay; instead, they connect to the "match" created by the commentator. Their data is sent to my server, from where the commentator's client reads it and displays a combined HUD.

Answers to frequently asked questions:
* It's not necessary. - Okay.
* This is cheating! - Yes. Although only information that the player already knows is transmitted outside the game. But it's up to you whether to use it or not.
* What is the server? - For now, it's my personal server in Germany. I do not guarantee its stability or longevity.
* It doesn't work for me. - It works. Read the instructions carefully. If you do everything correctly, it will work.
* I tried everything, and it still doesn't work, but I really want it to. Help me? - With pleasure, write to me on Discord: Averrin#0374
* It lags, glitches, and crashes. - Yes. Because I don't play myself, and only about one and a half people are testing it so far. Help make it better. Find a way to reproduce the incorrect behavior and contact me.
* It's made poorly and in a makeshift way. - Yes. And it's not yet feasible to make it better.
* Add X. - Most likely, it either already exists but is not displayed, or it is something quite complex, and I cannot get this information (for example, something available only in HotA). But if it is really very important, contact me.
* Change the color / make such a widget / can you make one like this, but with pearly letters? - Most things can be customized in OBS. Anyone with minimal knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript can fix or add something more significant.
* It crashed on a custom map / SoD / other mods. - I only tested it in HotA. Let me know about the conditions under which it crashed. But I do not guarantee that I will fix it.
* Why don't you answer in this thread? - Because I don't read it. Write on GitHub or in Discord.
* Why is there no direct link to the archive? - Because I don't want to update this post with every release.
