External Overlay in C++ | Works For ANY Game

[@LMleet06]

If the video example doesn't work for you @2:30 remove the HWND or paste this into your code: overlayHWND = CreateWindowExW(WS_EX_TOPMOST | WS_EX_TRANSPARENT | WS_EX_LAYERED, overlayTitle, overlayTitle, WS_POPUP, 1, 1, width, height, nullptr, nullptr, hInstance, nullptr);

[@georgei2480]

Mate, I don't know how your channel isn't bigger. your videos are fantastic and tons of fun to watch.

[@requestfx5585]

Very nice tutorial! There is actually a way to draw in fullscreen do some research ( I tested it for csgo fullscreen worked fine)

[@casualgamer1791]

Thanks for the correction and code! Can confirm working overlay in fullscreen for cs:go. For anyone reading this and wondering how: use SetWindowPos with HWND_TOPMOST in your main loop

[@steamhearteyes]

definitely my favorite game hacking related channel, love all your content, keep it up

[@casualgamer1791]

thank you :) will do

[@tigas4d4]

Founds this channel way too late, as i already sorta finished a similar project to this(but i used wpf and c#), the only issue that im having is that my game performance is affected by this by a little.. i see an increase of frametimes of around 1-3ms and i was wondering if anyone that has done something like this has gotten this same issue? im kinda struggling to find if i can even do anything to mitigate this issue...

[@prout-j1u]

pls explain how od you go in that yellow screen at 6:04 it been 2 days im searching pls pls

[@gabriellane8053]

LOVE this video, I learned a lot and you saved me so many headaches!

[@adamantitehawk]

I found this video trying to figure out a way to make a program that triggers a transparent overlay so that way I could then make a black hole effect that consumes the whole screen before playing an animation. I'm not sure how yet how effective this video will be for me but it's a step in the right direction.

[@TheGorganne]

Is using PeekMessage rather than GetMessage a good idea ? like this it can't block the position update, somme issue are resolve and there is no more latence with the position of the window and the position of the overlay

[@GrandNecro]

5:24 which video are you refering to?

[@rdv1105]

Alternatively, it could be possible for you use GDI+ as it won't require any additional setup like adding the libraries to the project if you're on windows. Also, great video!

[@casualgamer1791]

Interesting! Performance is worse tho right? Would not be a big deal when only drawing menus i guess

[@ajinkyax]

thanks for the video. What is D11 equivalent for IDirect3D9Ex* & IDirect3DDevice9Ex* ?

[@casualgamer1791]

The closest thing would be ID3D11Device* I think. Not an expert tho

[@uliveulearnandregret]

I'm getting 4 warnings on line 78 for Paint(); that targethwnd, height, width, params are not initialized, and the overlay isn't showing anything

[@alieeeeennnnnn]

Very good video! I definitely learnt a lot of stuff from it.

[@jeremysingh1130]

Could this be combined with maybe printscreen and image recognition in order to determine elements to feed to be overlayed? Thnx, great channel.

[@spinbot09]

1 question can i make it so the window doesnt target any window so it targets my whole screen insted of the application?

[@imxtwinky]

is it possible to fix the drawing delay somehow? If you move the window, the text moving is delayed quite a bit.

Im trying to make an ESP-only hack for cod mw/warzone. Would i use an external overlay since an internal one would latch onto the game itself, potentially setting up a red flag to get me banned more easily?

External is easier to detect

@@unbracedbooch3990 depends on what you are doing with external.

First thing to do is figure out what exactly does not work. Debug the code: for instance breakpoint and step through each function or coment out most parts untill you have a bare bones working project then start adding things back in and check if they perform as they should Edit: you can also join the discord to get help :)

So I followed the whole tutorial and wrote the exact same code as you in the video... My end result was that the overlay text would not show up at all. I then copied the code from the description and now the overlay text is displayed but the background is not transparent. So I just get a great big black rectangle with the overlay text over the top.
