[Discuss] DirectX 10/11 Hooking

**d1gitalSLR** · 02-07-2010, 01:10 PM

I have been wondering why there has not been much public work on hooking DirectX10/11. Most of the newer games are moving to either or of the two. DirectX 9 will soon not be an option for newer games.

I was just wondering if the hooking/drawing methods like DIP/ES vTable are similar to DX9 and just need to be "found". Or is it a total different type of hook?

just open dx10 in a assembler and see how there dit it.
i would think not many dx 10 tutorials because not all like to coding on windows vista

Ah, Yes. I will take a look when my PC finishes backing up.

Edit:

I am a bit confused, DirectX10 uses some different type of "table" Or maybe I am not seeing it. Many of the functions that I know exist are not in the same d3d10.h/SDK

In D3D9.h You have the list of methods, as TestCooperativeLevel, GetDirect3d etc. In 10, 10_1, x10. They seem to have "mini" functions instead of referenced methods.

Checking...

There are the list of functions ->D3D States, There is a big difference between 9->10.

If you want a DirectX hook example try reversing the steam overlay

Seriously there is a function called "CreateDXGIFactory", from there you can create a "swap chain", your best bet is hooking this:

"IDXGISwapChain::Present"

50% of PCs are still using xp so its unlikely that dx9 will go out of fashion any time soon. 7% are using win7 for dx11 and like 14-20% are vista for dx10 sooo yeah... Theres your answer as to why its not popular =p

also this:
No off site linking, upload or post W/E here.

wow deadnesser, those numbers add up; you've proven your schooling has taught you well.

**iExclusive** · 02-08-2010, 07:54 AM

well, clearly he didn't relate to those which are non-windows-os. i.e., linux, mac.

**kolbybrooks** · 02-08-2010, 08:27 AM

Because a mac is clearly the PC market.

linux isn't accounted for and this is off the top of my head from a recent survey, I'll go back to lurk mode and refrain from posting.

Found it.

Code:

2010	Win7	Vista	Win2003	WinXP	W2000	Linux	Mac
January	11.3%	15.4%	1.4%	59.4%	0.6%	4.6%	6.8%

Now you must finish my reflection paper so I can sleep. This was the agreement!

Them figures just reflect the OS used by idiots who do surveys? I would take them figures with a pinch of salt tbfh.

Well if you want more gaming oriented data heres from steam's current hw survey.
*Data is sampled from any steam user.

Code:

Windows XP 32 bit (-2.62%)  42.15%

Windows 7 64 bit (+3.89%)  19.50%

Windows Vista 32 bit (-1.62%)  19.09%

Windows 7 (+1.58%)  9.03%

Windows Vista 64 bit (-1.18%)  8.82%

Windows XP 64 bit (-0.01%)  0.63%

Windows 2003 64 bit (-0.07%)  0.57%

Windows 2000 (0.00%)  0.10%

Other (+0.02%)  0.10%

Still windows xp is the dominant system but also worth nothing that according to steam 48.94% are directx 10 compliant w/ a vista+ and a dx10 gpu. I guess dx10 has a chance in the future but looks like were not abandoning dx9 any time soon.
