📄 Description

Three field notes from The Dark Legions Reloaded, a mod by GR33N for The Dark Legions (Mascot Entertainment, 2004, Direct3D 8), built with Claude Code (Opus 5.5).

knowledge/games/the-dark-legions/reloaded-single-dll-fix.md: one d3d8.dll that fixes the game's heap-corruption crashes, replaces D3D8 with its own D3D9Ex renderer, adds widescreen, rebuilt menus, sharper fonts, faster loading and a fix for the cfg file that never re-read its settings.
knowledge/techniques/dgvoodoo2-internals-and-spying-on-a-packed-d3d-wrapper.md: what dgVoodoo2 2.87.5 actually sends to Direct3D 11 (captured with a spy d3d11.dll, since it is packed and RenderDoc cannot see it), and how to copy its look. Includes the ID3D10Multithread vtable-swap gotcha.
knowledge/techniques/d3d8-to-d3d9ex-wrapper-in-one-dll.md: building your own D3D8 -> D3D9Ex wrapper, with the traps (infinite-far fog, clipping, managed buffers, XYZRHW on a scaled target, gamma).

Checks: um kb check passes for all three, um kb index regenerated. No game files, no decompiled code, no secrets or personal paths. Single-player only. What was not verified is listed in each note.
