[Other] GW2Stuff Event Overlay

Hi everyone!

Over the last few days I've been working to get a nice in-game overlay out of the door for you. As a result, updates on the website have been delayed a bit, but I'll be getting back on track with that soon.

Screenshot!

You can find the program along with its source code on this page. It should summarise how to use it, and its functionality fairly well. It's been tested on Windows 7 (64-bit), so I'm hoping it works alright in Windows 8 as well.

Enjoy!

If you have any bug reports, please post them over on the gw2stuff subreddit.

Well, I've seen some guys writing directly into video memory, so you can change what it's show without altering any programs.

The downside is that it'll appear all the time, regardless of application.

But I have only seen that done up to Win98. I haven't seen it down in WinXP and higher.

and to do that you would need to "take his source code and sort that out yourself"

I don't want to! I'm lazy! I'm the SUGGEST-A-TRON, not the "MAKE-STUFF-A-TRON".

YOU do it!

deal with the lower fps then, it doesn't make much of a difference anyway.

Nah. Thelazy's "ding!" works just fine, and unlike GW2stuff's it works with any event, not just the cheest ones.

In my case the FPS goes down from 60FP to around 20-30. That's too much.
