If you know a good filehoster, please tell me about it. :)

Btw Jim asked me some time ago if he should include the source into OBS master repo - I am not sure if the plugin is functional/stable enough though.

I uploaded a corrected 32bit version just now - i accidently named the "GraphicsCapture" directory "GraphicsCaptureHook". Should be fixed now.
Sorry for the late response, I was busy with other stuff and forgot about the plugin. :(

Tried this plugin with Outlaws made by LucasArts and it does not capture the game at all, I have to use 3dfx display driver for the game to work without color issues so that might be it?

I am not sure which Graphics API Outlaws uses. You can check your OBS logs to find out if it uses DirectDraw/Direct3D/OpenGL.

It can run using DirectDraw and Direct3D but only OpenGL with a custom wrapper, at the moment I am using a custom wrapper called nGlide which fixes the issue with colors ingame but I can't capture the game with the only method I know for older games (Dxtory) without it crashing.

Hm if it doesn't work with D3D then it might be using DX8 - OBS is not yet capable of capturing that. If you set the graphics mode to DirectDraw and capture the game you should see some Log-output.

So I finally made a dropbox account and will continue to host my files there as google drive feels somewhat stupid.

@lusix I hope dropbox is available for you.

When the next OBS Update is released will this plugin still work? Or do you have to update it with every OBS update?

So far the plugin worked with every released version. Once Jim decides that the code should be included into OBS master it will work for every update. The only reason why I recompile and upload the plugin all the time is because of changes made to the GameCapture-Plugin. My code just extends the existing plugin to allow DDraw-capture.

Generally I can say: if there aren't new features or major bugfixes introduced with a new OBS version (regarding the capture plugin), I (and you) don't really need to update the DLL.

I am not sure how Firefox's Gecko engine actually draws stuff on screen, but I doubt it's using DirectDraw as it's highly outdated. Why are you asking?

Bl00drav3n updated DirectDraw capture support with a new update entry:

Basic DirectX8 support

I finally came around to implement DX8 capture \o/. At the moment the only accepted color format of the framebuffer is 32bit X8R8G8B8. I will implement 16bit R5G6R5 and 16bit A1R5G5B5 in the future (as well as maybe exotic 8bit), if requested I will try to speed up my efforts (being a bit lazy as usual).

Three things regarding the plugin:

When you exit a game while capturing ddraw or dx8, the game will crash. I'm not exactly sure what the reason for that happening is, but I'm...

This doesn't seem to work with Command and Conquer Generals. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, I usually don't go in and change things around so not very use to it. I Copied the contents of Plugins and put them in the plugins for OBS Still having the black screen with audio.
