WOLF - The WOLF Okami Loader Framework

A modding framework for Okami HD (Steam) that provides a robust, cross-compiler compatible foundation for game modifications.

Overview

WOLF uses DLL injection to load into the game process and provides a modern C++ API for mod developers while maintaining a stable C runtime interface.

Components

• Loader (wolf-loader.exe) - Launches game and bootstraps the runtime
• Runtime (dinput8.dll) - Core framework services injected into game process
• Framework (wolf_framework.hpp) - Single-header C++17+ library for mod development

Quick Start

Installing / Using

Extract the WOLF zip into your game folder (so that dinput8.dll and wolf-loader.exe are in the same directory as okami.exe).

On Windows

Launch wolf-loader.exe

On Linux

In Okami HD > Properties > General, set Launch Options to:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" %command% -MODDED

Then launch the game through Steam.

Building

Uses CMake with vcpkg for dependencies.

# Configure
cmake --preset x64-clang-debug

# Build
cmake --build --preset x64-clang-debug

Creating a Mod

#include "wolf_framework.hpp"

class MyMod {
public:
    static void earlyGameInit() {
        // Hook setup before game initialization
    }
    
    static void lateGameInit() {
        // Normal mod initialization
    }
    
    static void shutdown() {
        // Cleanup
    }
    
    static const char* getName() { return "MyMod"; }
    static const char* getVersion() { return "1.0.0"; }
};

WOLF_MOD_ENTRY_CLASS(MyMod)

Place compiled mod DLLs in mods/ directory.

Features

• Memory access and pattern scanning
• Game event callbacks and custom hooks
• Console command system
• ImGui integration for mod UIs
• Resource file interception
• Bitfield monitoring for game state
• Cross-compiler compatibility (MSVC, Clang, GCC)
