Install
- Download the current Windows zip from the Overlay page.
- Unzip it somewhere you control (Documents is fine). There is no installer.
- Run
SENTRY Overlay.exe. If SmartScreen appears on an unsigned build, use More info → Run anyway only if you downloaded it from this site. - Set Star Citizen to borderless windowed. Exclusive fullscreen will cover the overlay.
Full download, SHA-256, and source tarball stay on /overlay.html.
Search and briefs
Type at least two characters and press Enter. Search defaults to citizens; flip All to include orgs. Click a result for a brief (avatar, title, orgs, links). Click an org on a citizen brief to open that org.
- Gear opens Options (Display, Brief, Reader, Contacts, Updates, Account).
- Sign in under Account if you want your private notes, tags, and reputation on briefs.
Name reader (optional)
The reader is an experiment: it captures the game window, looks for name-like text, and checks SENTRY. It will miss tiny HUD names and blur. Prefer the search box when you need a sure match. Turn it off to unload capture and OCR completely.
Ctrl+Shift+S toggles click-through so the game keeps the mouse.
Updates
The overlay checks for a new build on startup and every 15 minutes. A green banner appears only when a newer zip is published. Install and restart applies it after checking the SHA-256 from this site.
