[General] Different "endScenes" ?

[!@^^@!]

Hey I'm still working on my "little" hobby project which essentially is a generic game overlay with plugins...

However since i'm trying to make this as generic as possibly i was wondering about which different types of "endscenes" i would run into...

From my limited experimentation with wow bot coding i know that in DX9 we have endscene which is nice and easy to hook, however IIRC DX10 and 11 uses a different rendering interface right?

What functions should i look into hooking for DX10 and 11?

Also how about OpenGL? From my limited search i could find a few different suggestions like glXSwapBuffers and clear but aren't they used in different ways in different games?

So what i'm really looking for is experience with this kind of generalized hooking so if you don't mind sharing your experience please go ahead :P

I'd imagine Chyper have a good deal of experience with this considering his Hades project? Is that not right Chyper?

Thanks in advance people

D3D9: hook CD3DBase::EndScene
D3D10: dunno, never tried it. But I think it's the same as D3D11
D3D11: hook CDXGISwapChainBase<IDXGISwapChain>::Present

I have not looked into OpenGL, but I do have the exact kind of framework you are talking about =)

If you are planning to do overlays, you'll need to hook Reset in DX9 as well, in case someone alt tab or resizes the window, everything that is drawn needs to be disposed and recreated after the reset, DX10 and DX11 does away with this luckily!

as for hooking, in DX10 and DX11 you'll need to hook Present, and ResizeTarget if you want to scale text and such, and then you can pulse all your logic inside Present.

Also have a look here, it helped me a bunch!
