- 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.

- Alt object labels and floating texts are packed into a 1024x768 area
(push 300h/400h at 0x6272f8 and 0x60e940): widened to the render size.
- Screen centre immediates in the light/effect position list (0x41b1xx..)
and the floating text (damage number) projection 0x41e460/0x41eaf0 now use
the render centre; lights were offset from the player before.

Windows poll the mouse cursor object (0xcdbadc, x +4) for hover; it is
shifted inside a moved window's render/event scope like the events.
Tooltips are separate windows placed by the hovered window in its 1024
layout, so cUI_Tooltip renders with the offset of the moved window under
the cursor. Adds Move-To to the test input helpers.

- 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.

Hooks now refer to addr::* instead of literal addresses; the header also
lists the world view's users of the 1024.0/768.0 constants and the ortho
projection extent pushes for the widescreen work.

- 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.
