Repository files navigation

Difference from the previous implementation(https://github.com/DiaLight/Ember):

• Ember convertsDKII.EXE todk2.dll and performs memory dot patches on it after the code has been loaded into memory.
• Flame parsesDKII.EXE intomsvc compatible.obj files. These files are replaced with other.obj files. Then they are compiled back intoDKII-Flame.EXE

For a more detailed description of how Flame works, readhow_it_works.md

The latest build can be taken from the github actions

How to install:

• copy DKII-Flame-1.7.0-*.exe from github actions to game directory (no need rename to DKII-DX.exe or DKII.exe. exe name does not matter)
• copy ddraw.dll fromhttps://github.com/narzoul/DDrawCompat/releases/tag/v0.5.3 to game directory
• copy dinput.dll fromhttps://github.com/elishacloud/dinputto8/releases/tag/v1.0.54.0 to game directory
• run DKII-Flame-1.7.0-*.exe

Additional ddraw.dll and dinput.dll are fixing some graphical bugs and i think improve general stability.I prefer not spending time on fixing something that already fixed by other developers.When report issue please ensure that you are uses these dlls.The Steam version of the game is installed along with these dlls
