dinput8proxy

A painless, universal DirectInput8 (DInput8) proxy DLL for extending functionality.

This proxy DLL allows you to load additional DLL files effortlessly, making it a universal mod loader.

Features

• Configurable proxy DLL via dinput8proxy.ini
• Supports loading additional DLLs specified in AdditionalDLLs.txt
• Customizable behavior through configuration options

Configurable Settings:

• Show a message box when the proxy DLL is loaded
• Terminate the process if an additional DLL fails to load
• Print status messages to the console on load

Configuration

The dinput8proxy.ini file allows you to configure the proxy DLL behavior. Available settings:

Setting	Description	Default
ShowMessageBox	Displays a message box when the proxy DLL loads.	1
LoadAdditionalDLLs	Loads extra DLLs from AdditionalDLLs.txt.	1
CloseProcessOnDLLLoadFailure	Terminates the process if a DLL fails to load.	1
PrintStatusOnLoad	Outputs a status message to the console when loaded.	1

To disable a setting, set it to 0. To enable it, set it to 1.

Loading Additional DLLs

To load extra DLLs, list them in AdditionalDLLs.txt. The order matters, and they are loaded sequentially. Each line should contain the name of a DLL.

Example AdditionalDLLs.txt:

; This is a comment line and will be ignored
; The following DLLs will be loaded:
Susano.dll
AnotherDLL.dll

; This one will NOT be loaded since it's commented out
; NotThisOne.dll

Usage

1. Place dinput8proxy.dll in the application directory.
2. Configure settings in dinput8proxy.ini (optional).
3. Specify additional DLLs in AdditionalDLLs.txt (if needed).
4. Launch the application, and the proxy DLL will handle the rest.
