"Convenience information" logging #77

Closed mirh closed 3 years ago

mirh commented 4 years ago

So.. For encyclopedic purposes (but sometimes even for practical ones, like for example the famous <dx7 resolution limits) over at PCGW we need to determine which API version games use. But as far as I am being told, logging here only gets you as far as this

9412 00:28:14.535 Creating device m_IDirectDrawX::m_IDirectDrawX(03528A70) v1
9412 00:28:14.535 Creating device m_IDirectDrawX::m_IDirectDrawX(03528CF0) v4

or

7060 00:31:29.234 Creating device m_IDirectDrawX::m_IDirectDrawX(0061B1F0) converting device from v1 to v9
m_IDirectDrawSurfaceX::m_IDirectDrawSurfaceX(0066E978) converting device from v4 to v9

(and let's avoid mentioning the mess that associating an interface version to a dx release is)

Now, I really absolutely am not saying this should even be within the purposes of this project (perhaps there is already some tool for this), though from the top of my mind I couldn't come up with any other place as comprehensive and potentially related.

Yes, you are right. I am just logging the interface version not the DirectX version. So far I am not actually sure how to get the DirectX version of DirctDraw applications. Anyways, I will try and make the logs more clear on this point. Thanks.

Closing this issue. The latest release changes the logs to try and make this more clear.
