Hide In-Game Cursor Topic is solved

[bennybroseph]

I've been looking all over and unfortunately haven't found a solution. I have a script which takes XInput and turns it into mouse and keyboard input. Through a ton of code this makes you able to play games of similar genre to Diablo III with a controller on PC pretty easily. However, I'd like to hide the in game cursor and use two software cursors instead. This would make the script much more visually cohesive.

But... I don't know how to hide the In-Game cursor. Is this even possible without some sort of hook?

i havent looked into it very thoroughly myself, but perhaps u could send some kind of a windows message to replace the cursor with a transparent sprite
if ure seeking to do that to a fullscreen dx/opengl app, u would absolutely have to hook the drawing subroutine

Yeah, that's what I'm trying to avoid as I know for sure that's a bannable 3rd Party modification for most online games. I'm using yolomouse right now to do exactly what you described with a blank cursor. At least yolomosue is a trusted app so the likely-hood of a ban is very very slightly less than if I did it with my own app.

this app maps itself into ur game's address space and calls SetCursor
if you could do that, u could call ShowCursor(false) and be done with it
of course the only difference being, the app is likely whitelisted, where as u are not =>> bangalore
maybe u could replace one of those cursor files with a transparent one and get the app to inject it, but idk much about cursors

[bennybroseph]

Same. That sounds like a good idea in theory though. I'll do some digging to see if that's possible.
I think that would be the less bannable thing, but I could be wrong. Modifying game files is usually bannable, so maybe it doesn't even matter so either way of doing it is just up to preference.
