 Posted: Thu Nov 08, 2007 9:30 am Post subject: A little about DXWnd (permanent windowed mode) |
 |
|
The DXWnd is simply an .dll injector that injects the "DXWnd.dll"
the exe file also edit the file called "DXWnd.ini" file, that the .dll file gets its info about your game from
What i found out was that you are able to use DXWnd as a "permanent windowed mode" just copy/paste DXWnd.dll and DXWnd.ini to your maplestory directory and rename DXWnd.dll to pcomdebug.dll (i dont know why it has to be renamed to exactly "pcomdebug.dll" but this will make the .dll get atached automaticly) (you need to have DXWnd.exe open when opening maplestory in windowed mode, dont know why...)
If you try to open the DXWnd.ini file useing Notepad you'll get something like this (im useing Maplestory as an example)
| Quote: | path0=C:\Nexon\MapleStory\MapleStory.exe [Path of Maplestory.exe]
ver0=8 [version of Direct X]
flag0=0
initx0=0
inity0=0
minx0=0
miny0=0
maxx0=800 [game cordinats range X]
maxy0=600 [game cordinats range Y] |
| Quote: | | Note: that this is only the information you filled in when adding maplestory in DXWnd, lets say you ticked [Emulate 256 color palette], there would be a line in the DXWnd.ini file telling that you ticked [Emulate 256 color palette] |
(this altso means that you can inject any .dll file into any game useing DXWnd, just rename the .dll file to DXWnd.dll)
I found out all what i just said all by myself, please dont post this anywhere else and take credits for it

| PCOMDebug is being Loaded by PCOM, perhaps, the developer uses PCOMDebug as a Debugger in development stages? |

| Excellent deduction of the obvious. Now the question is, what does the .dll do? Spoiler: It hooks DirectX and modifies the screen state on window creation. D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS.Windowed; (At least that is how I do it) |

A bit more work involved then just that to get a game to run in a "perfect" window. Most games will have some method to try to keep the game in fullscreen, or use Reset to their advantage to keep the game in a window.
Some things that you would want to hook:
(To Fix Window Params And Such)
- CreateWindowEx
- SetWindowLongPtr
Along with that, when you wrap the DirectX device you should also alter the reset function. Pass it the new PresentationParams that were used after altering CreateDevice.
I wrote a tutorial and windower for Need For Speed Most Wanted and released the source here:

(I didn't edit the Reset() for this as the only time it was reset was when you changed the resolution in game. Haven't had time to update the release with the fix for it, but yea, nothing major.)
For anyone that might ask, to fix the reset thing:
| Code: | HRESULT Direct3DDevice9Wrapper::Reset(D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS *pPresentationParameters)
{
pPresentationParameters->Windowed = true;
pPresentationParameters->Flags = 0;
pPresentationParameters->FullScreen_RefreshRateInHz = 0;
return Direct3DDevice9->Reset(pPresentationParameters);
} |

| Of course you will have to do other things (as not all games are similar), but that screen state flag is by far the most crucial (and universal). |
