[outdated][offline] DirectDraw (+dx8) capture support

Bl00drav3n · Jul 16, 2013

Bl00drav3n submitted a new resource:

DirectDraw Capture Plugin - Capture games that render using DirectDraw

So I thought I should share this with the rest of the world now that it works for some games.

You are a gentleman and a scholar.

Quick update on the progress so far.

I am using the IDirectDraw7 interface throughout the whole code now, what makes the capture work with a lot of "newer" games, but seem to cause some issues with games that use the old interface. I will probably change the code a bit to work around this issue. At the moment the plugin causes some games to randomly crash, I didn't find the cause yet, maybe it's a problem with threading.

I also implemented a fix to broken palettes on Win7. As probably many of you have experienced already, old DirectDraw games look quite ugly on Windows 7, because Microsoft didn't stick with their own suggestion to NOT SWAP PALETTES WHEN NOT IN FULLSCREEN.... What is basically happening is the game creates a palette and sets it as the current state. But in the meantime programs like explorer.exe (wtf?) changes the system palette and messes up the entries. The game does not check if the palette changed and assumes that everything is in order. As a result you can get weird colors like purple water in Age of Empires 2.
My fix is really straightforward, though not very efficient. Every time the game sets a palette, I save it in a structure. Everytime the game calls IDirectDrawSurface::Unlock I check if this method was called for the primary surface (the surface that is drawn to screen). If it was the primary surface I simply reset the palette to the one I saved earlier. So even though other Windows-programs in the background can mess up the palette, the colors stay the same. Here are two screenshots one with and one without the fix:

(Note: the first image is not exactly what it looks like on monitor, but you get the idea)
Same goes for Starcraft 1 btw, though I have problems with palette swaps.

There is still some work to be done, and I also started working on DX8-Capture, so stay tuned! :)

Quick Edit: Just tried to compile 64bit version and tested it with Diablo1. Working so far.

Hello,

this plugin is really heaven-sent for an older game like Age of Empires II: The Conquerors. At first, the plugin was running fine and I was really excited about it. But in some of my streams the screen went suddenly black and I couldn't figure out why. So, I did some testing and noticed that "alt-tabbing" makes the screen irreversibly go black and the plugin won't work anymore until the game (and OBS, if I'm correct) get(s) restarted.

Code:

22:39:05: Error retrieving palette
DDraw Error: no palette attached
22:39:05: called DoDDrawHook()
22:39:05: DoDDrawHook: no surface descriptor found
22:39:05: CopyDDrawTextureThread: waiting for copyEvents
22:39:05: DoDDrawHook: found 32bit format (using plain copy)
22:39:05: DoDDrawHook: frontSurface width = 1920, height = 1080
22:39:05: DoDDrawHook(): Could not create offscreen capture
DDraw Error: invalid params
22:39:05: DoDDrawHook: success
22:39:05: Cleaning up
22:39:05: CopyDDrawTextureThread: killed

What also might be interesting for you guys: I'm using the "simple scene switcher" and I added the "most recent 64-bit Build", since I'm running OBS on 64bit as well.

Since AoC games can be rather lengthy and even the waiting window might be displayed a few minutes before the actual game starts, "alt-tabbing" is kind of a must here :S

Here's a twitch recording showing this phenomenon: http://en.twitch.tv/genettetesting/b/466422512?t=3m38s

If you need any more of my logfiles from OBS to examine this, please let me know - I'll check back here regularly.

Thanks for all the great work, btw! You wouldn't believe how many streamers out there truely love what you're doing!

Regards, Genette

Edit: cleared dxtory and SCFH DSF and added a new log file.

Hi! Thank you for the informations, I will have a look into it. There are some major bugs to fix and I took a little break from the project, but I will continue to work on this plugin.
I will try testing my latest development version with recording Age of Empires 2 and will let you know when I fixed the problems.

Edit: Just fixed a major bug, although I wouldn't call it stable yet.

Bl00drav3n · Nov 14, 2013

UPDATE Nov 16: Fixed crashes with palettes and fixed some synchronization/memory corruption erros. Built against OBS v0.854b stable.

DirectorGunner · Nov 26, 2013

Would this work for League of Legends?

ThoNohT · Nov 27, 2013

League of Legends can be captured using game capture, you don't need this plugin for that game.

Rewoig · Nov 30, 2013

I tried your 64-bit build on win7 64 and OBS v0.854b, by putting the files in C:\Program Files\OBS\plugins and C:\Program Files\OBS\plugins\GraphicsCapture. Then starting OBS, it complained about Game Capture Plugin being out of date, (I declined to update it obviously), as such I assume I managed to install it. But it gives the same result as before, a black screen with broodwar or age of empires 2. I'm I doing it wrong? Love to see this working, many thanks.

DirectorGunner said:

League of Legends uses DirectX9 (afaik) which already works with the original gamecapture plugin.

May I see your logfile?

Edit: Just tried it out with AoE II and OBS 0.584b 64bit:

I also tested Starcraft Gold Edition:

But there seems to be a real issue somewhere. I tried to capture Diablo 1 but it didn't work. After I restarted the program it worked. Really strange.

Rewoig · Dec 5, 2013

Well I didn't want to look through all of my logs, so I'll try to reproduce it now. When I first started it, and tried broodwar it didn't work, the log:

Bl00drav3n · Dec 6, 2013

Oh that was my bad obviously. I meant setting compatibility mode of the game executable to Windows 7. Nice that it works for AoE :)

Rewoig · Dec 6, 2013

Doh! Yeah, then it worked perfectly, awesome! Thanks!

Bl00drav3n · Dec 7, 2013

Nice! If the plugin is unstable for a particular game (or in general) please feel free to share any information you have. :)

I will. But it's been working really well so far :)

Bl00drav3n · Jan 11, 2014

Uploaded a new version built against OBSv0.60b. Should work with version 0.592b.

Vahnkiljoy · Feb 4, 2014

How do you go about installing/using this? Would love to stream some Sacrifice but, well, apparently i'm supposed to know how to do this.

Rewoig · Feb 5, 2014

In your OBS folder (i.e. the one with OBS.exe), you have a plugins folder, that's the same plugins folder as the one in the build zip files (in the OP). This will replace the original game capture plugin with Bl00drav3n's. To use it, start the game, start OBS, in OBS add game capture, choose your game, and then hopefully it works. If not post some more..

Vahnkiljoy · Feb 5, 2014

Wish all the files were in an actual zip instead of single files.

Rewoig · Feb 5, 2014

Yeah, google docs is a bit unintuitivly, but you can download the zip by: File->Download, alternativly you can press Ctrl+S.
