Editing a Fortnite configuration file using C++ and Win32












0














I have made a small and simple tool for Windows using C++ and the Win32 API to allow people to change their resolution in Fortnite, without having to search for the configuration file and manually edit it themselves. The program has a width and height input for the user to enter their desired resolution, and an apply button to save the changes to the configuration file. I have tested it on a few machines, and it seems to work as expected.



This is my first attempt at using C++ or the Win32 API, and I would love to release this project to the Fortnite community, but I want ensure there are no glaring issues with it.



My questions/concerns are:




  1. Have I deleted the system resources correctly? Any potential memory leaks? (brushes, fonts, etc)

  2. Do I need more error handling? Any improvements on what I do have?

  3. Should I separate the GetFortniteConfiguration(), SetFortniteConfiguration() and CenterWindow() functions into their own file or is the project small enough to keep it as is?


I will also be adding comments to the code shortly, but any other tips, suggestions or learning resources are welcome.

      I have made a small and simple tool for Windows using C++ and the Win32 API to allow people to change their resolution in Fortnite, without having to search for the configuration file and manually edit it themselves. The program has a width and height input for the user to enter their desired resolution, and an apply button to save the changes to the configuration file. I have tested it on a few machines, and it seems to work as expected.



      This is my first attempt at using C++ or the Win32 API, and I would love to release this project to the Fortnite community, but I want ensure there are no glaring issues with it.



      My questions/concerns are:




      1. Have I deleted the system resources correctly? Any potential memory leaks? (brushes, fonts, etc)

      2. Do I need more error handling? Any improvements on what I do have?

      3. Should I separate the GetFortniteConfiguration(), SetFortniteConfiguration() and CenterWindow() functions into their own file or is the project small enough to keep it as is?


      I will also be adding comments to the code shortly, but any other tips, suggestions or learning resources are welcome.
