War2 graphics for Win Vista/7/8/8.1/10/2012 fixed

[sascha]

Is there any chance you include the possibility to launch WC2 in windowed mode officially? Found a ddraw.dll that has windowed mode by configuring it via ddraw.ini but includes all the glitches that have been fixed by the ddraw.dll in this thread.

In the color fix for win 8 and 10 minimal just hit alt + enter.

Several people have asked about this fix recently. I have this page http://en.war2.ru/ddraw that explains how to use it, right now the only version it links to is the second one that fixes the blurry text (war2_ddraw_test2.zip). So questions:

- Is that the best version to be distributing as of right now?
- Is that version okay for Win8/10? Or is it better for them to use the pass-thru version? (war2_ddraw_minimal.zip, http://forum.war2.ru/index.php/topic,1790.msg32593.html#msg32593)
- Does that pass-thru version also include the alt+enter shortcut? Sounds like yes based on tupac's previous posts?

I cleaned up some of the code, updated project files for Visual Studio 2015, enabled optimizations, added better error messages, and created a fallback CreateDevice() call so that the DLL could work on a wider variety of systems. Windows XP not supported (could easily be supported if you change a compiler option).
Source code included.

Yeah I saw that mentioned on teamliquid or whatever it's called. Those people should be able to make their own color fix idk though.

Yeah I totally agree with you there. Very hand for development, etc.

It also causes my 2nd monitor to go black when I alt tab for a few seconds in and out. Had my laptop running to my 55in NEC monitor. Another reason I use window mode

You need to fix that in your graphics card control panel.

@xboi

I keep trying to improve this project by hooking WM_DRAWITEM and WM_PAINT messages...
which eventually causes me to rage quit. 

fixing the Korean text is trivial, if using invasive hooking...
if you're going to build a launcher then this would be good practice for you :p

The only non-invasive way to fix the KR font, that I can think of, would be to override the Ariel font with a custom one. However, I've never tried that out.

other known issues:
1. D3DCREATE_FPUPRESERVE flag is missing
2. In 0.4 the 32bpp surface is not locked, only the 8bpp texture is locked...
so color converting anything by hand is a giant WTF!
How it doesn't crash is currently a mystery...

Do you think the new official 1.1.17 Starcraft patch is waiting on the HD upgrade?
