PQR - Rotation Bot

[billybuffalo]

Guys just make your own Offsets file! I did way back when this was posted and it has been working flawlessly since!

BTW +rep to oswalt0 for fast offset fix!

What changes are being made each time an update comes out? i would love to be able to do this myself.


I see the following changesin the old offsets, from the new:

<CurrentWoWVersion>16685</CurrentWoWVersion> 

<Lua_DoStringAddress>0x75910</Lua_DoStringAddress> 
  <Lua_GetLocalizedTextAddress>0x4E3E00</Lua_GetLocalizedTextAddress>

Are these the only 3 lines that get updated, and how do you know what the new info is?

For anyone having trouble updating or downloading the latest offsets for PQR, I've created an account on MediaFire for those to download a zip file of the latest offsets. Just download and unzip the file to your PQR/Offsets folder and you'll be good to go.

Just hit the download offsets button on the startup screen.

Thank you Xelper <3

Just out of curiosity, what are offsets, and what does it do?
I know they are required for PQR to function.

A short (although maybe a bit inaccurate) answer is:
offsets are locations in a programs (in this case wow:s) memory allocations. PQR and other bots must know where in the file different calls to functions and objects are made in order to intercept these calls and add their own code before sending the original request to where it was supposed to go.
When the executable (wow.exe/wow-64.exe) is updated, the offsets for the calls that is needed changes, and so the developer for the bot/program has to find new offsets.
I'm not sure as to how this works, exactly, but it's a relatively delicate science.

I'm not very educated in this area though, so some of this may be slightly inaccurate. Feel free to correct me if that be the case.





On another subject, for some reason I can't get PQR to work. I think it attaches alright, because when I press the hotkey for a rotation, the status text is added to my chat box that PQR is enabled/disabled.
Are there any guidelines as how to troubleshoot PQR?


EDIT: added a few rows to offsets explanation

Offsets are the internal locations of functions or other variables inside of the WoW client. The offset 0x4213DA simply corresponds to the base memory address of WoW + the offset... meaning the piece of information located there will always be located there. If you are completely unaware of how a program functions, I guess an analogy would be that you can think of them like addresses on streets. You can use the address "32 West Street" to find a very specific house or place. Except, when a new WoW build gets pushed the addresses usually change.

And to answer a question I get a lot: No, I cannot simply explain how offsets are found. I can usually update all of the offsets for PQR in under 15 minutes, but that is only because I understand ASM. There is no easy way to explain 'finding offsets' to someone who doesn't know ASM at all. A lot of the offsets are posted in the Memory Editing section of this website, but not all of them... there are still 4 or 5 that aren't posted by other people. (And before anyone does it, do not go posting there... they will not help you.)

Trying to make code that will automatically switch between single-target and AoE modes based on how many targets I am in combat with. Is there a function that will keep count of how many enemies I am currently engaged in combat with?
I'd like to be able to avoid creating a 'Hold CTRL for AoE' toggle.

No, but I don't think we should have one either, think of all the situations where aoe could wipe your raid ,party or break cc.
It's better to do it manually, it would take a very long time for profile developers to code all of the situations, and keep it updated for every patch.
Hitting one or two buttons isn't that bad.

Does anyone have a profile updated not since 5.2 but since the last patch (there's a diff) all of the current warrior PVE ones i found in the searches that say 5.2 arent functioning since the last patch. Some of them will work for 5-10 seconds then do nothing.

There is in fact a way to do this. Check out the aoe healing codes in most of the healer profiles and you should be able to figure it out from there. As far as the situation it could wipe your raid lets assume you are a survival hunter. Its quite possible on spirit kings you might end up serpent stinging the raid to death. If you look at my profile for chain heal you could easily apply the same logic with chain lightning,

If anyone really wants to learn how to find the offsets then you can spend some time and familiarize yourself with any memory editor like cheat engine or ollydbg etc....

Specifically I am building and Enhancement profile. I was trying to make something that could decide when to swap Searing Totem for Magma Totem and swap Lightning Bolt for Chain Lightning. I don't think either of those spells are potentially as dangerous as spreading Serpent Sting or something.
I'll take a look at your Chain Heal code and see if I can utilize a bit of it for my needs.

Thanks
