what you want is called DETOURS... its a source code provided by microsoft that shows how to reroute api calls to your own code. of couse you will need another application active during runtime to detect and inject your dll into the game.


you could do this without detours but you would need to find the exact address of the d3d pointers


here is the source for dll injector and a test dll etc.. its for d3d9 but should be easy to convert to d3d8

if you want to know more about detours just google it

Quote from Falcon140 :

i got an off topic question

how do you get that hood view?

Options>View>

Default car view set to 'Custom'
Draw(main) set to 'Body'

X,Y,Z Offset sliders

X 0.003
Y 0.441
Z 0.077

Quote from Quietus :

Any chance of an option to remove the drift angle display, and just have the g-ball?

sure, just edit the drift.ini file.


FIND:

Drift_Enabled=1
Drift_Text_Enabled=1


REPLACE WITH:

Drift_Enabled=0
Drift_Text_Enabled=0

Quote from mattlikespeoples :

how can we get this fine piece of work to work on the outside view. thats where i drift but then i cant see the meter anybody know how to change this? i dont see anything i the config to change it but mayeb that's due to my lack of understanding

i guess this is something we can request in the next patch? they only allow data output in certain views...

okay, updated again to v1.4 its available on the 1st page.. the older versions were obsolete so ive removed them

sorry for all the mistakes... nobody is perfect

Quote from Mc21 :

some drifters can pull 120 degree drifts.

really? i'm not sure, i was just copying the one from NFS Underground.... the 1st one

there is a few bugs with this one, especially when spinning and going in reverse... im thinking to make a points system like NFS so that has to be fixed

what do you think?
