Reserved post.

- EDIT (08/june/2010 17:00h BRT)

## Latest version seems to be stable (no other bugs reported so far).

## Please read the documentation, it contains valuable information and I spent a couple of hours on it.

## I have still not tested all functions, so tell me if something doesn't work.

k3ph has pointed me this topic where some people were already creating AHK functions using GPP. Now I remember that I've seen this topic before, but I found it a bit too messy and couldn't be satisfied with some things like declaring certain global variables. Anyway, I cannot complain as I've learned a lot creating this library and trying to write a good documentation. Hope you all enjoy it!

thank you very much. whats up with the dx9 version of the dll?

I intend to add a few things to the DX8 version and finish
its documentation so I can release a DX9 version as well.

Looks interesting. Dont think i have any DX8 games installed to test this, plenty of DX9 games though.

Thanks in advance!

Yea, this will be really useful once the DX9 version is finished, I too dont have any DX8 games lol

Could you give out the d3d8 and the gpcomms.dll source code?

Greets Faust

Is there a way to make it show a picture, or say a crosshair?

As I've already stated, I'm not the original provider of those.

Sure but not in v1.0
I promise I'll finish this DX8 version ASAP!
(I had 2 exams today, 2 more to go now...)

Cool!
Now for DX9 to finish so I can acutally use it lol.

Will this only show up in DX8 Games, will I be able to see it in my desktop?

Only ingame. That's the purpose of this library. I've already seen a lot of people here (just like me) searching for a method to overlay Direct3D games. When I found this solution, I immediately decided to create a library and share it.
