DirectX 9 Overlay

Author: Sean Pesce

Overview

A Direct3D9 Wrapper DLL/classes with a built-in overlay framework that implements an in-game CLI and text feed for printing on-screen messages in DirectX 9 programs. Plugins are also supported for extending the features/functionality of the overlay.

Media

Showcase video (Early build)

^{Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition}

^{Deus Ex: Human Revolution}

^{The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion}

Plugins

To utilize various features of the overlay from an external DLL, the external DLL must be a plugin for this project which imports/exports various functions. See the ExampleOverlayPlugin subproject for reference. For another example, see the Dark Souls Overhaul repository.

Acknowledgments

• Michael Koch for his DirectX 9 Proxy DLL example, which I relied on heavily as a reference in the early stages of this project
• Microsoft for the DirectX SDK and Detours library
• Atom0s, Topblast, and Renkokuken (Sakuri) from UnknownCheats.me for the modified CD3DFont class, which is much more efficient (performance-wise) than Direct3D9's built-in ID3DXFont class.
• Mumble VoIP overlay source code, which I used as a reference to create a suitable render state block when drawing my overlay

Built With

• Visual Studio 2015
• June 2010 DirectX SDK
• MS Detours
• SeqAn

Disclaimer

This overlay is meant for single-player games only. Use of this overlay in multiplayer games may trigger anti-cheat software and result in a ban. Additionally, I do not create or support video game hacks that give the user an unfair advantage over other players. Any mods I make are for fun, replay value, or game fixes.
