Doesn't work on servers that open another window

[checkraisefold]

for obvious reasons, servers that create another dreamseeker instance and reconnect will not work with this

[Lyut]

for which obvious reasons?

it works fine for me on such servers, how are you doing this?

[Lyut]

just add an import to the IAT of dreamseeker.exe from Main in your compiled hook dll, code will automatically execute on launch

[Lyut]

Confirmed working, no response in almost 2 weeks, assuming the issue is fixed.
Feel free to comment for further questions

commit a26937c fixes this "issue", you can use DSPatcher.exe to patch dreamseeker.exe and make it automatically run BYONDHook on every startup @checkraisefold

[checkraisefold]

@Lyut spoiler: if you plain add a DLL to the IAT of dreamseeker.exe or byondcore.dll, you will trigger the intentional anticheat that just crashes the game when it detects a non-trusted import

on most computers at least...

[Lyut]

@checkraisefold As long as the DLL is outside BYOND's directory (reason why I instruct placing the DLL in a custom folder e.g. C:\BYOND) and the import is added from an absolute path (e.g. C:\Windows\system32\kernel32.dll insteaad of kernel32.dll) the anticheat fails.

Thanks for the heads up, really appreciated. If you have more info about that I'd be happy to hear from you.

[checkraisefold]

not gonna lie, that's really dumb that you can just do that. i managed to just hook the anticheat and turn it off, but spent a while figuring out where it was

[Lyut]

that's interesting, I personally haven't took any look at the anticheat because I straight up assumed there was some sort of check when it would crash with any import from any DLL. I randomly tried the solution above and came up to the conclusion it works, so I never bothered again.

great to hear i'm not the only one working on BYOND cheats. I'm always open for suggestions or PRs!
