Compilation Work using DLL Framework

Compilation work using DLL Framework

Introduction (Click to View)

Greetings Everyone,

Today I have decided that I will be compiling most of the EXE edits I have found till now in the DLL Framework 

But before doing any of this, I will be asking for the permission from the author of that specfic work, and if they allow me to use it , then I will simply add them in the DLL and drop it here 

In this thread I will be posting all of them, also I will be creating a new post in this thread whenever I upload a new DLL !!!

**Important** (Click to View)

• I'm using multi-dll loading ddraw.dll by Som1Lse which I found at this post, you can download that dll from here !!!
  
  
• Incase that dll doesn't work for you (probably worst case) you can use the Modded EXE which I will provide, it's only use is to read bmp files from UI folder and DLL from dlls folder
  
  
• Other than this, I will be sticking to original EXE as much as I can 

Thanks given to (Click to View)

Thanks to Doix aka LordSilva (for introducing DLL Framework for LF2) , Som1Lse (for the ddraw.dll which he made) , STM1993 (for the idea of posting these dlls here) , Archer-Dante (for helping out with problems) , Leaf.F and Shad90 (for allowing me to use their work) !!!

Common changes via Dlls (Click to View)

These changes depends on the choice of the user (they can choose to opt them in or out)

I have tested these DLLs and they work properly with Multiserver and LF2 Lobby, also they don't eat that much RAM

Load UI (Click to View)

With this dll, the EXE can read bmp files from UI folder (this one is necessary as most of the changes I will release in future will involve changing bmp files)

Display (Click to View)

Originally work by Leaf.F
Few changes in display like maintaining aspect ratio on maximizing

Orginal Strected Screen


Aspect Ratio Screen (16:10) (The sides are black)

Some Fixes (Click to View)

Orginally work by Shad90
This dll includes correction changes of statistics (attack, kill etc) count , download it from here

The list is as follows !!! (Click to View)

atk/kill points by colliding with thrown one will be given to the one who threw;

atk/kill points by hitting the ground after throw will be given to the one who threw;

atk/kill points by hitting the ground after flute will be given to the flute singer;

atk/kill points by hitting the ground after freezing will be given to the one who freezed the victim;

for all of points above: if the one who's throwing / flute using / freezing is a clone then atk/kill will be given their owner (prime Rudolf);

atk/kill points by a weapon that a clone use will be given the clone owner;

the victim who take damage by hitting the ground will grown their HPLost counter;

proper counting of Louis' atk/kill points and his victim's HPLost while Whirlwind Throw (D^J);

proper counting of Picking when you pick up something from a heap of weapon;

now, when Henry uses SotD (D^J), his total Attack increases as much as his victim takes damage (by 9 hp) instead of wrong chaotic values (0~44 hp). Henry can also increase his Kill point;

atk/kill points (and others) for player's who were a part of Firzen are no longer reset to zero .

The exe download has issues.



Tells me this if I am logged into my Google account and there is no download button anymore only for a brief second. If you are not logged in, the download button appears and it works.

Sorry you had to face such problem
Fixed the link and now it's working

It turns out I changed the link by mistake

Small Update
Fixed a critical bug at LF2 Misson Challenge menu when you highlight the cursor at the link, the game won't respond !!!

[darkfiren]

Which version of EXE are you using ??
2.0 or 2.0a ??
Both of them are different !!!

[darkfiren]

No 2.0 is outdated 
Dlls in this post are only for 2.0a 

So as long you use 2.0a , you can use them !!!

[darkfiren]

Please read the first post again !!!

Don't worry we will try our best to solve this problem (never lose hope)

There are 2 ways of loading these dlls

• Using Multli - Dll loading ddraw.dll by Som1Lse (it reads dll from dlls folder in your game directory just like data or bg folder)
  
  I'm using a fresh copy of v2.0a to explain everything
  And it looks like this -
  
  
  
  Step 1
  Extract the ddraw.dll in your game directory (like this)
  Please do notice it's size , it's different from other ddraw dlls flying around
  
  
  Step 2
  Create a folder named dlls in your game directory
  
  
  Step 3
  Now add the dlls which you want to use in the dlls folder which you made before (I recommend using display.dll incase you don't want unnecessary screen stretching on maximizing the game window and it works for every game window size wheather it's widescreen (1018px) or normal screen (794px))
  
  
  Step 4
  Extract the UI folder in the game directory (it contains all the images which are encrypted inside the EXE
  
  
  Step 5
  Since you want to use widescreen , I recommend replacing this .bmp file too in the UI folder
  
  
  And you're done !!!
  Your game should run in Widescreen now 
  
  Incase the above method doesn't work try using this one
  
  
• Using Modded EXE (probably in worst case)
  
  The main change in this EXE is to load dll from the dlls folder and all the game images from UI folder (it's size is also different because it doesn't contain any images inside it)
  
  
  I think this might help you , incase things still don't work
