Carmageddon 2, revisited

This project attempts to documents 1998's Carmageddon 2 by replacing binary code in the released binary with C code.

When enough functions have been replaced, it should become possible to not need the retail binary anymore and let the game run on modern non-Windows systems.

Status

This project is still in its infancy, so nothing major has been achieved yet
The hook dll works
The standalone exe does not work, and won't even compile

Requirements

Carmageddon 2: this project still needs the original game data + executable(s) to function
Windows

Build requirements

32-bit x86 compiler: MinGW and MSVC are supported
DirectX SDK: we need dinput and dxguid.
- MinGW provides these libraries out-of-the box
- MSVC does not ship with a DirectX SDK: this time-period correct version on archive.org works perfect.
Detours: this library is used to hook functions

Goals

Hook as much functions as possible until we don't even need the original executable anymore
Exact same behavior as the original
Every single commit should compile and work: this enables git-bisect to search for regressions
