CLEO Help Hiding GUIs and stuff from video capture.

[Zin]

Couple of posts about this but none of them really explain how to hide menus and stuff from recording software. Glance_m0d has this known as "stealth renderer" apparently it hooks deep into DirectX or something in order to that but how exactly does that work. Are there any sort of windows libary funcs that can be used to achieve the same effect. In particular I'm talking about "render" graphics from sampfuncs maybe there is some alternative.

So there's this program called OBS and I'm pretty sure people add scripts to it as it's "open source" to hide hacks, now I only know CLEO so I'm wondering if there's maybe a simple way to maybe a way to let CLEO know when a frame is being rendered maybe through windows libary funcs or vars or such as CLEO can read interact with libaries to some extent.

no idea if it's helpful in general, but for specific cases you can apply specific solutions.

For example, IMRP launcher uses directx based function (can't remember the name of it at the moment) to capture the screenshot of gta_sa window. You could possibly patch that function to set your own flag (e.
g. set ini file variable "babajaga_patrzy" to true), and then in cleo mods make conditional check to disable any drawing if "babajaga_patrzy" is true.

Not optimal or universal but it could work, the patched function would also include a short (around 50ms) delay to allow cleos recognise the the "babajaga_patrzy" state and act upon it before the screenshot is made (hoping the delay won't crash the app, which may be the case)

just some thoughts about it..

Edit:
The function that was responsible for saving the screenshot was: D3DXSaveSurfaceToFileInMemory
And it can be seen/analysed by opening C:\Users\michal\AppData\Roaming\.im-rp\imrp.dll with Ghidra program.

I also had my ESP coded in CLEO done like a month ago and I was also at the point wondering if there is an way to actually stealth render with SAMPFUNCS. I doubt that there is an possibility but maybe some more experienced dudes here can tell something
