Weapon sets and combat-art slots 6-7 live in a shadow inventory per
inventory; the slot methods run the original code on it for slots >= 5,
so item references, icon resources and selection events stay the
game's own. Save games (cInventoryManager::Serialize) and hero files
(saveHero / loadHero) store inventories as JSON ("SRIJ" + length);
vanilla blocks are still read, which migrates old saves. Multiplayer
transfers keep the binary format. nlohmann/json fetched via git.

Raw WM_KEYDOWN/WM_KEYUP are handled in both window procedures (the game
swaps 0x8110d0 and 0x8122a0 with SetWindowLong; 0x8110d0 is the in-game
one). Bound keys are swallowed and post the original hotkey's key event
to the kernel, so F-keys work and bindings are layout independent
([keys] in sacred_re.ini). Replaces the WASD hotkey remap and the digit
swap; W/A/S/D and the digit row no longer reach the game. Skill keys
still cast through the right mouse button. Enabled switches removed.

While W/A/S/D are held, the controlled creature gets a plain walk order every
engine tick toward its position plus the pressed screen direction, as the
mouse does while its button is held (every mouse event re-sends a walk to the
cursor point); releasing sends the target-less stop order of a released mouse
button. W/A/S/D key events are swallowed before the hotkeys see them; their
old actions move to G (action slot 3), V (pick up nearby) and K (save game
window) for now, configurable in [wasd].
docs/wasd.md: order format, measured mouse behaviour, hotkey map.
docs/todo.md: better pathfinder; final bindings for the moved hotkeys.
re::ConfigString for string settings.

Primitives covering the whole 1024x768 layout inside a moved window, such as
the dimming behind the exit confirmation, were shifted with the window and
left both sides undimmed; they are stretched to the render width instead.

- Creatures were culled beyond 1024+200 x 768+200 screen pixels (cmp 4C8h /
3C8h in both object passes): invisible in the right part of a wide view,
and the player too once the centre passed 1224. The bounds follow the
render size now.
- Centre immediates written as negatives (-200h / -180h), missed before:
the row renderer's static object origin (0x62babb) and aiming at the
cursor (0x4fb620).
- HUD: moved windows no longer shift the shared mouse cursor object; the
cursor accessor (0x6550f0) hands them a per-thread shifted copy and writes
back what they changed. World input on other threads read the shifted
position now and then, which made hold-to-move jerky.

The default render size (1835x768) is below Direct3D 7's 2048 limit, so the
D3D7 -> D3D9 wrapper and its device-info workaround are no longer needed.
The game pauses start-up until its window is active; game-input.ps1 now
activates it reliably (Alt + SetForegroundWindow, polled), which dxwrapper
had masked. borderless logs the first failed presents.

- Default render size is 768 high and as wide as the monitor aspect
(1835x768 on 3440x1440), scaled up: everything keeps the size players
know and the view only grows sideways. Height=0 keeps native 1:1.
- Ground: 818/888 clip limits, screen centre floats and integer
immediates, ground quad list (capped at 1749) moved with the tile list.
- 3D: cGranny ortho (+-512 x +-384, incl. HUD items) scaled; inverse
projection 0x623a20 (1/1024, 1/768) follows the render size, which fixes
the camera following the player ("outside world") and the missing
player / ESC menu.
- tools: game-input.ps1 + autotest-load.ps1 drive the game (load the first
save game, screenshots in-game and with the ESC menu).

- mods/widescreen: redirect the world view's reads of the 1024.0/768.0
constants and the 3D ortho extents to our variables; render size =
monitor; relocate the world view's tile draw list (1750 entries, no
bounds check) into an enlarged object (16384 entries).
- mods/dxwrapper: route DirectDraw through dxwrapper (Dd7to9, D3D9) since
Windows' D3D7 cannot render to targets larger than 2048; fix the game's
device info GUID pointer that dxwrapper's enumeration leaves invalid.
Pinned release fetched by CMake (hash-checked), installed next to the DLL.
- Main menu (UI thread) and loading screen render in a 1024x768 viewport
and are presented scaled ("classic" layout); in-game uses the full size.
- re/patch: verified code patches (operand redirect, push immediates,
displacements) and startup hooks; build.ps1/CMake download fixes.
In-game view untested yet; HUD still at the top-left.

- Launcher (sacred_re.exe) starts sacred.exe with sacred_re.dll injected
via Detours; the DLL verifies the Sacred Gold 2.28 build before hooking.
- Hook framework: RE_HOOK for game addresses, RE_HOOK_API for Windows
APIs, per-hook enable/disable in sacred_re.ini, sacred_re.log.
- Game code: Log (0x66f1c0) hooked, CmdLineHasFlag (0x813140) rewritten.
- Borderless mod: forces windowed mode, covers the monitor, scales the
1024x768 image aspect-correct, remaps mouse input, keeps running in the
background with keyboard input hidden while unfocused.
- CMake/Ninja/MSVC x86 build, VS Code setup, disasm tool, function map.
