WoW Memory Editing Tutorial

Hello and welcome to this tutorial, this tutorial is made by me and i would like for it not to be copy/pasted anywhere but mmowned.com, if you do copy/paste any code or anything please give credits, Thank you.
First of all i would like to say that this is my way of memory editing i don't care if you do it another way, this i will always do it this way if you choose to follow this way or not is not up to me.


Ok, to start first the things you will need for doing it this way.

1, Microsoft Visual C# 2008 express edition -credits to microsoft
2, blackmagic dll -credits to Shynd


You can download these:

Microsoft Visual C# 2008 express edition -HereVisual C# 2008 Express Edition
blackmagic,fasm_managed dll -Here http://www.shynd.com/public/BlackMagic.1.1.rar

Now to start with the actual memory editing,
1) Open C# and click on File>>>New Project,

2) Click on "Console Application" rename it to whatever you want i named mine "Memory Editing Tutorial- Console App".
3) Then click "OK".

4) Remember the blackmagic dll that you downloaded? Well extract it to anywere i put it on my desktop for now.
5) In C# right-click "References" and click "Add Reference..." Click on "Browse" click on "Look in" then browse to where you extracted your blackmagic folder.
6) Select "BlackMagic.dll" and "fasmdll_managed.dll" Then click "OK"


7) Now back to C# where it says in the text "using _______;" go to the bottom and type "using Magic;" without the quotes.
Now you need to open the wow process via blackmagic so... in:

static void Main(string[] args)
        {

        }

Write:

BlackMagic wow = new BlackMagic(); //Create new function to open wow process
wow.OpenProcessAndThread(SProcess.GetProcessFromWindowTitle("World of Warcraft")); //This Opens "World of Warcraft" window

now you will have:

 static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            BlackMagic wow = new BlackMagic(); //Create new function to open wow process
            wow.OpenProcessAndThread(SProcess.GetProcessFromWindowTitle("World of Warcraft")); //This Opens "World of Warcraft" window
        }

you don't have to put the // It just makes it easier later on because you don't have to go through the code you can just read the notes.

Now we are going to read the wow memory such as your player name,health,mana,level, and so on, then im going to show you how to write to wow memory so you can have basic x,y,z movement via ClickToMove.

Ok, so the code we have so far should be:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Magic;

namespace Memory_Editing_Tutorial__Console_App
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            BlackMagic wow = new BlackMagic(); //Create new function to open wow process
            wow.OpenProcessAndThread(SProcess.GetProcessFromWindowTitle("World of Warcraft")); //This Opens "World of Warcraft" window
        }
    }
}

The next lines we will insert will be:

uint playerbase = wow.ReadUInt(wow.ReadUInt(wow.ReadUInt(0x00CF7C00) + 0x34) + 0x24); //this is the player base
string playername = wow.ReadASCIIString(0x00C923F8, 12); //reads player name
uint Level = wow.ReadUInt(wow.ReadUInt(playerbase + 0x8) + (0x35 * 4)); // Reads players level

I will explain all of this a little later just put it in for now.

Ok so with this code we are reading Playerbase,Playername, and playerlevel
now we will write this to console so we can see it all come to action.

add:

            Console.WriteLine("Player Name is: " + playername); //writes to console to tell player name
            Console.WriteLine("Player level is:" + Level); //writes to console to tell player level

to the code now we will have:

            BlackMagic wow = new BlackMagic(); //Create new function to open wow process
            wow.OpenProcessAndThread(SProcess.GetProcessFromWindowTitle("World of Warcraft")); //This Opens "World of Warcraft" window
            uint playerbase = wow.ReadUInt(wow.ReadUInt(wow.ReadUInt(0x00CF7C00) + 0x34) + 0x24); //this is the player base
            string playername = wow.ReadASCIIString(0x00C923F8, 12); //reads player name
            uint Level = wow.ReadUInt(wow.ReadUInt(playerbase + 0x8) + (0x35 * 4)); // Reads players level
            Console.WriteLine("Player Name is: " + playername); //writes to console to tell player name
            Console.WriteLine("Player level is:" + Level); //writes to console to tell player level

in the main block of code.

Ok, so now to test what we have out.
Do Ctrl+F5 or go to "Debug>>>Start Without Debugging"
It should look like this:

Ok now that would be basic memory reading lets try memory writing.
add this to your code:

            float playerx = wow.ReadFloat(Pbase + 0x798); // Read players xlocation
            float playery = wow.ReadFloat(Pbase + 0x79C); // Read players ylocation
            float playerz = wow.ReadFloat(Pbase + 0x7A0); // Read players zlocation

ok this code reads your x,y,z values also known as your cordinates we will now take these and try to move by a few feet or so.
add this to your code:

            Console.WriteLine("Player X cord is:" + playerx); //writes to console to tell players x cordinate
            Console.WriteLine("Player Y cord is:" + playery); //writes to console to tell players y cordinate

now do "ctrl+F5" again and it should tell your player name,level,x and y cordinates. You need to be ingame in wow while you do this, now don't move your character and write down what the x,y values are as we are going to need them, also when your ingame go to interface>>>mouse and enable click-to-move.

now we will write to the code to make your character move, write this code:

            wow.WriteFloat(0x00CB9814, x here); // x pos from prompt
            wow.WriteFloat(0x00CB9818, y here); // y pos from prompt

where it says in the code "x here" type for example if the x cord you wrote down earlier was 1000 write 1005 as it will increase your x by 5, do the same for the "y here" except write the y cord you wrote down earlier also plus 5.

now add to the code:

wow.WriteInt(0x00CB97A4, 4);//makes character walk

this activates your click-to-move so it makes your character walk

now you should have:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Magic;

namespace Memory_Editing_Tutorial__Console_App
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            BlackMagic wow = new BlackMagic(); //Create new function to open wow process
            wow.OpenProcessAndThread(SProcess.GetProcessFromWindowTitle("World of Warcraft")); //This Opens "World of Warcraft" window
            uint playerbase = wow.ReadUInt(wow.ReadUInt(wow.ReadUInt(0x00CF7C00) + 0x34) + 0x24); //this is the player base
            string playername = wow.ReadASCIIString(0x00C923F8, 12); //reads player name
            uint Level = wow.ReadUInt(wow.ReadUInt(playerbase + 0x8) + (0x35 * 4)); // Reads players level
            float playerx = wow.ReadFloat(playerbase + 0x798); // Read players xlocation
            float playery = wow.ReadFloat(playerbase + 0x79C); // Read players ylocation
            float playerz = wow.ReadFloat(playerbase + 0x7A0); // Read players zlocation
            Console.WriteLine("Player Name is: " + playername); //writes to console to tell player name
            Console.WriteLine("Player level is:" + Level); //writes to console to tell player level
            Console.WriteLine("Player X cord is:" + playerx); //writes to console to tell players x cordinate
            Console.WriteLine("Player Y cord is:" + playery); //writes to console to tell players y cordinate
            wow.WriteFloat(0x00CB9814, x here); // x pos from prompt
            wow.WriteFloat(0x00CB9818, y here); // y pos from prompt
wow.WriteInt(0x00CB97A4, 4);//makes character walk
        }
    }
}

now do "ctrl+F5" and it should make your character move to whatever x,y cord you put in there and that's memory writing.

Ok i understand... Back to topic then.

[-Ryuk-]

A nice simple tut...

Good Job!

[xerconix]

I'm new to the site and this was an excellent help and start, Thanks for the great work!

[Mrbrightside]

Thank you, if you have any questions feel free to ask.

[ninjamint]

you're writing to memory, isn't that detectable?

[lanman92]

Yes, detectable. Detected, no.

[kostas89]

Really great tutorial! Thanks for the help.
Ive got one question though, and yes you can flame if you want because iam a noob.

When I try to get the playerbase on my 3.2.2 wow i get an error. Is this playerbase for 3.3.2 or did I just do something wrong? Could you please tell me the playerbase for 3.2.2 or were to find it? Ive searched in the Dump thread trying to find the playerbase but I didnt find it...

I assume that the playerbase address is wrong, because when I try:
uint a = wow.ReadUInt(wow.ReadUInt(0x00CF7C00) + 0x34);
I get zero...

Thanks in advance, Kostas

Learning C# for full, this gave me a good view of stuff. Thanks mate, +3 if I can.

[falkor]

I would like to express my greatest thanks to you sir for providing this tutorial.
I've only just started learning c# and have to say I know nothing about c# or memory reading BUT I read alot and persist alot till something works.

Just thought I'd attach the below screenshot to show what a complte n00b can do if he reads your tutorial and puts a bit of thought into it.

The multiline text box is going to be a way point logger to a textfile but for now its a placeholder.

Fyi, renaming your window title is pointless.

[falkor]

Fyi, renaming your window title is pointless.

Maybe if you backed up your comment with some reasoning I'd be more intrested in accepting that as a fact and not opinion...

I was lead to believe during my research that Warden also scans Windows titles out of its process for certain names, thus random window titles are but one small step towards providing a little bit of security to your apps future...
