AWESOME tutorial! Major props for actually explaining the nitty-gritty of things, including the "Why"s of what you're doing. So many other UA-cam tutorial channels don't do this, they just silently record themselves typing code, or even worse, copying and pasting. Those kind of tutorials are *useless* for anyone wanting to actually learn about this vs. just looking for a quickie copy/paste end result. You have a great talent as a teacher. Awesome job!
The hook worked i believe, and pressing numpad closes it but its not beeing displayed. The Game is using DirectX7 but i read somewhere on GH that DirectX9 works also with lower versions. Ideas? The Game is a bit old so there is no fullscreen borderless but i still made it work and neither in window or borderless its displayed
Hook is successfully done but I can't see the drawing on my screen. I debugged the code and everything works fine, but as I said no graphics. Any idea why?
i tried void** vTable = *reinterpret_cast(pDevice) and it still work but if i close my app it still remain in task list. what is the diffrent between (void**)(pTable) and (void***)(pTable)
is there any way to draw like on the go? because it seems like you can only draw whats in the function and the only way to communicate between that function and the main cheat is through variables with a scope that reaches both... i'd like to make a function like DrawBox() or something so i can just draw boxes wherever i want (and call that function inside the main cheat and not the hookedEndScene func) but im not really too sure about how to do that ..
short answer: No. Longer: The drawing needs to happen inside the EndSceene hook but you can get creative ofc. you can create and call functions/classes wich will lead to drawing outside the hook.

Hi, whats the differences between an external and an internal "hook"? in both scenarios we are injecting a dll into the process to "execute" our functions.
External referns to a standalone application used to read/manipulate the game memory usually using RPM and WPM. Internal means using a dll injected into the process

how to clear drawing on every call so that memory does not clog? if(GetKeyState(VK_DOWN)) /* key switch color text font->DrawText(...); /* on */ /*memory clog*/ else font->DrawText(...) /* off */ /*memory clog*/
it's okay. Type: const D3DRECT* Pointer to an array of D3DRECT structures that describe the rectangles to clear. Set a rectangle to the dimensions of the rendering target to clear the entire surface. Each rectangle uses screen coordinates that correspond to points on the render target. Coordinates are clipped to the bounds of the viewport rectangle. To indicate that the entire viewport rectangle is to be cleared, set this parameter to NULL and Count to 0.

Can you possible make a video on how to hook different versions of DirectX? Some games (most now-a-days) use Dx11... Also, is there any way to get this to work for 64bit dll's? I always get an error with Detours when I try it with 64bit
@@casualgamer1791 I tried minhook, but anytime I try and inject it says it fails to load minhook.64.dll or minhook.86.dll depending if I'm building 64 or 32... Apparently, minhook is broken or something... I even took the example project they provide and it fails to compile saying "failed to load minhook.lib"... If I manually add minhook.86.lib and minhook.64.lib then it says the respective dll's are missing. I add those, and it wont inject, probably because for whatever reason minhook wants to inject its minhook dll with the dll I'm trying to inject...
You can only hook things that the game uses. Maybe it uses opengl? Then you gotta look into how to hook that. Whatever graphics lib it uses is the one u gotta hook.
How would it be like if you use latest version of MSDetour. DetourFunction is no longer valid, but there is DetourAttach instead. I tried to do so, but my game crashes everytime.
Did you use DetourTransactionBegin() before DetourAttach() and finally DetourTransactionCommit()? Otherwise it won't work. "The attach, detach, and thread operations do not take effect until the program commits the transaction using the DetourTransactionCommit or DetourTransactionCommitEx API. Alternatively, the program can abort the transaction using the DetourTransactionAbort API."

Solution ripped from UC: github.com/Microsoft/Detours/wiki/FAQ#where-can-i-find-detourslib-and-detoursh You have to build detours.lib from the source at: github.com/Microsoft/Detours/tree/master/src 1. Clone the Detours repo to your computer. 2. Open "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt" 3. Change directory to the src/ folder of the Detours repo 4. Enter "nmake" 5. The detours.lib should be in the ../lib.X64, one folder above the src/
One option would be: 1. Add global variable: bool showMenu = false; 2. your main loop: while (true) { //code here if (GetAsyncKeyState(VK_NUMPAD1)) { showMenu = !showMenu; } //more code here } 3. in your hooked function put everything into a if: if (showMenu) { //your pDevice->Clear etc here }
