✅ All source references checked against codebase
✅ Cross-references between pages validated

Style Compliance

✅ No emojis (project requirement)
✅ Game-agnostic content only

✅ Consistent formatting throughout

Migration Notes

Removed/Merged Files

  • operators.md - Merged into expressions.md (content preserved, duplication eliminated)

Modified Existing Files

  • override.md - Completely rewritten as game-agnostic overview
  • index.md - Reorganized as comprehensive landing page
  • expressions.md - Absorbed operators.md content

All other files are new additions or expansions of minimal existing content.

Remaining Optional Work

For future consideration (not required for this PR):

  1. Documentation consolidations (from REPETITION_ANALYSIS.md):

    • Bind flags consolidation across files
    • Misc flags consolidation
    • IniParams minor consolidation
  2. Advanced topic expansions:

    • optimization.md (performance guide)
    • migration-guide.md (version upgrade guide)
    • cookbook.md (recipe-style solutions)

Current documentation is production-ready without these additions.

Reviewer Notes

Focus Areas for Review

  1. index.md - Does the landing page effectively guide new users?
  2. override.md - Is the game-agnostic approach clear and useful?
  3. Cross-references - Do links between pages make sense?
  4. Examples - Are examples clear and practical?

- Remove redundant 'See Also' sections from expressions.md, command-list.md, and resource.md
- Extensively expand present.md with detailed pre/post execution timing
- Add execution order explanation and decision guide

- Expanded from 43 lines to 500+ lines
Corrected inaccuracy found during source code verification:
- drawindexedinstanced = auto does NOT accept instance_count parameter
- Instance count is automatically taken from the triggering draw call
- Added clarification that it only works in contexts with active draw calls
- Verified against CommandList.cpp:788-789, 1359

This fixes documentation to match actual 3dmigoto implementation
Key improvements:
- Clarified that pre/post are named relative to Present() API call, not conceptual frame start/end
- Added visual timeline showing: Frame N rendering → pre commands → Present() call → post commands → Frame N+1 rendering
- Explained pre = before Present() call = end of Frame N (after rendering)
- Explained post = after Present() call = start of Frame N+1 (before rendering)
- Added frame association clarification (which frame commands belong to)
- Updated execution order to show Present() call as the frame boundary
- Added source references: HackerDXGI.cpp:211 (pre), HackerDXGI.cpp:569 (post)

Verified against:
- HackerDXGI.cpp:205-211, 566-569 (execution order and comments)
- IniHandler.cpp:1987-1994 (parsing)
- 3dmigoto wiki (confirmed terminology)

This addresses confusion about whether pre/post refers to 'start or end of next frame'
Added complete documentation for all draw and dispatch commands:

Draw Commands:
- draw (with auto and from_caller support)
- drawauto (stream output)
- drawindexed (with auto support)

- Buffer layout structures for indirect commands
- Parameter reference table
- Common use case examples (replacing draws, multi-pass, GPU-driven rendering)

Verified against:
