Sadly, in order to do overlay on a Direct3d game and have it work on multiple version, you have to inject and/or api hook. There's no clean interface for simply registering your DLL to be called at the end of the frame processing. Not to mention, you have to really integrate into the pipeline to do things as slick as say Steam overlay ( register fonts, textures, etc... ). Lots of hooking. And all that code looks very similar to what a cheat would do to draw say ESP on the frame.

It's called an overlay for a reason. And the punkbuster comment is not true, it's been tested on all games with no cheat detection results, you should check out teamspeaks website, they're only promoting it to millions of users. It's fine, not being detected because it isn't injecting. ----- Original Message ----- From: dmex <mailto:[email protected]> To: 'Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list' <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, January 11, 2012 1:41 PM Subject: Re: [hlds] Overwolf + VAC Your ignorant if you think Steam's overlay doesn't do injection, It also does API hooking ;) I would be careful about using it with Punkbuster enabled games, It if happens Overwolf uses the same technique as a cheat tool, Punkbuster will consider it a cheat tool and invoke a kick and/or ban.
