This fork is just for testing/experimenting.

Also most of the new things here are spaghetti-code quality.

• in-game overlay
• arbitrary resolution

Description

This program consists of three parts:

Prepatch:

Used for applying the static patches from the patch.txt file to allow the game to successfully boot past all startup checks.

Divahook:

Installs a hook on the game's update routine to update its components.

TLAC:

Injects the divahook dll inside the game's process.

Components

The available components can be toggled inside the components.ini config file. Currently available are:

• input_emulator
• touch_slider_emulator
• touch_panel_emulator
• sys_timer
• player_data_manager
• frame_rate_manager
• stage_manager
• fast_loader
• camera_controller
• debug_component

Controls

Input bindings can be set inside the keyconfig.ini config file. Currently supported are keyboard, DualShock 4, and XInput controller input. To use a PlayStation 1/2/3 controller, install ScpToolkit. Key and button names are listed inside this config.

Player Data

If enabled the PlayerDataManager writes constant values from the playerdata.ini config file to the game's memory. This allows the user to set their player name, a level plate ID to be shown during the song select, equip a skin to be loaded during gameplay and button / slide sounds to be applied to all songs played. This config file must be encoded using UTF-8.

Debug Component

This component enables diva's internal dw_gui and makes the hidden DATA_TESTs accessible. The current game state can be changed using the F4 - F8 keys with F6 being a recreation of the original DATA_TEST_MAIN inside the console which can be controlled using the up / down arrow + enter key.

Usage

First once per update patch a clean diva.exe using the prepatch.exe program by passing the diva.exe path to it as its first command line argument; this can be done by dragging the diva executable on top of the prepatch executable inside the Windows file explorer. It is strongly recommended to always create a backup of the original diva executable first. NOTE: The path to the game folder must not contain non-Unicode characters, such as Chinese ones.

To start DIVA run diva.exe like normal, to enable the components start tlac.exe while diva is running. Do this every time you wish to run diva. Alternatively, run tlac.exe "diva.exe" as the first argument.

DIVA has a few notable command line arguments including -w to start in windowed mode and -hdtv1080 to increase the resolution to 1920x1080.

All possible resolution arguments:

• -qvga hidden, probably 320x240
• -vga VGA(640x480) Mode
• -wvga hidden, probably 800x480
• -svga hidden, probably 800x600
• -xga XGA(1024x768) Mode
• -hdtv720 hidden, probably 1280x720
• -hdtv720_dbd hidden, probably 1280x720 dot by dot mode
• -wxga WXGA(1280x768) Mode
• -wxga_dbd WXGA(1280x768) dot by dot Mode
• -wxga2 WXGA(1360x768) Mode
• -uxga hidden, probably 1600x1200
• -hdtv1080 hidden, probably 1920x1080
• -wuxga hidden, probably 1920x1200
• -wqhd hidden, probably 2560x1440
• -wqxga hidden, probably 2560x1600

Arbitrary Resolution

Open "graphics.ini" and set maxWidth and maxHeight. Set customRes to true. Use "diva_customRes.bat"! Do not run the exe directly and then open TLAC! It should run with the arbitrary resolution you've set. You must set customRes to false to be able to run the exe directly. To disable anti aliasing completely, edit "diva_customRes.bat" and add the argument -no_aa.
