This is an REFramework plugin that adds a Direct2D scripting API. You can think of this as a modder's resource intended on making better overlay style mods. The main benefit to modders is improved font rendering, out of the box support for Unicode rendering, and updating at a lower rate than every frame (to lower the overall performance impact of overlay style scripts).

To install:
1) Download and extract REFramework-D2D.zip
2) Copy the /reframework/ folder into your games directory.
3) Make sure reframework-d2d.dll is in the games /reframework/plugins/ directory.
4) Make sure reframework-d2d.lua is in the games /reframework/autorun/ directory.

Development of this plugin takes place on my github. This is also where you can find the documentation for the scripting API this plugin adds.
