Hi, I had a question there is a "drift mod" wich displays your drift angle in the screen of lfs.

How can you do stuff like this? I have absolutely no idea what to google after.. If anyone knows the technique or can help me on my way with some links etc. ?

Thats the thing read the second line, I don't know how to make something like that and I don't know how the technique to overlay stuff in games is named so I wouldn't know what to search after....

Way #1, which is 1337er but harder: make a Direct3D hook
Way #2: Use InSim.

The drift mod was just a example of the Sort of application I want to make.

Already done the InSim stuff so was looking for the Direct3D thing :) Gona hit google and start trying out some stuff, thanks!:thumb:

You can do so via LFSLapper, an insim application by Gui-Luron (look: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=25756).

I've got a drift scoreboard (what I call DriftMaster) on my server (Sin'rs), which uses the LFSLapper config, although the score and angle aren't dynamic (they don't change in real time, they only change once you've done your drift.

I've attached my old DriftMaster scoreboard to show what I mean.

I guess I miss explained my request...

What I want to do is make a application wich will "overlay" in lfs... But with own graphics like PNG files etc... The drift mod was just an example.. But xFire is another one and the custom gauges also one they all have their own "forms" inside lfs...

Thats what I'm after how to get my own made images, inside lfs..

Then the DIRECTX 3D hook will do the trick, like Shadowww said.

But I'm not quite sure if you can get it done server-side?

I think he means a thing like the Analog gauge with png and so on

like in "NFS" a drift gauge :thumb:

or?

If you're willing to use windowed-mode, you can make transparent .NET forms so that only the controls (in this case, overlays) stay on top. If you need full screen in LFS though, DirectX is the only way to do it that I know of :(
