Simple game display

[allahupish]

so I'm making a simple health/energy shield display in visual basic program and I need a bit of help, I can get the address but I need to scan it every time i restart the game. I would like to get it from offsets but I don't know how

Here is example code:

Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Imports System
Imports System.Text

Private Declare Function ReadProcessMemory Lib "kernel32" (
            ByVal hProcess As Integer,
            ByVal lpBaseAddress As Integer,
            ByRef lpBuffer As Integer,
            ByVal nSize As Integer,
            ByRef lpNumberOfBytesWritten As Integer
        ) As Integer

Private Sub Timer1_Tick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
        Dim address As Integer
        address = &H28A75994&
        Dim floatvalueinmemory As Single = 0
        Dim proc As Process = Process.GetCurrentProcess
        For Each proc In Process.GetProcesses
            If proc.MainWindowTitle = "Path of Exile" Then
                If ReadProcessMemory(proc.Handle.ToInt32(), address, floatvalueinmemory, 4, 0) = 0 Then
                    MsgBox("Not Working")
                Else
                    Label1.Text = CInt(floatvalueinmemory)
                End If
            End If
        Next
    End Sub

I don't know how to put base address and offsets in for lets say, energy shield or HP. If someone can help me please, Visual Basic 2015.

[Sharps]

Dim addr1 As Int32 = Memory.ReadInt(0xbaseaddress) + offset1
Dim addr2 As Int32 = Memory.ReadInt(addr1) + offset2
Dim finalAddress As Int32 = Memory.ReadInt(addr2)

I guess you're looking for something like that for a multi level pointer?

[allahupish]

I'd really need some help, I'm looking around the internet and trying everything, specifically off cheatengine site, it's not working

[allahupish]

can someone at least help me setup some sort of Health energy shield flask reader with autoscript ?

can someone at least help me setup some sort of Health energy shield flask reader with autoscript ?

No, but here is working x86 flask script PoE Autoflask & AutoScript, Improvements and updates. (PoE Autoflask & AutoScript, Improvements and updates.) .
You can start from here

[allahupish]

can someone help me to get this working:

Path Of Exile reading pointers example - Gaming Scripts - AutoHotkey Community

I don't know where to input the new offset addresses.

Based on my own personal experience, I would say you are better off looking else were, rather than this sub-forum if you are seeking help with learning how to find pointer offsets, programing in C#, ect.

It really boils down to this: Most of the people here are just users, no real desire to learn how to code or put in the effort, they just want to consume and complain if something doesn't work for them. The majority can' t even be bothered to read a few pages back to often times find a solution to their problem(s).

Then you have the few that know how things work and how to put stuff together, but be it because of time constraints, lack of interest, or because they view it as a loss of profits they are not going to be the people that you can seek help from if you are just getting started or lack the same level of experience that they feel they have.

I've been dumping a ton of time into educational videos, and books trying to teach myself C#, and its going at a snails pace, so i understand the frustration that some may have.
As much as this may be a disappointment, honestly this isn't unfair, this is just the reality of things.

I need to scan it every time i restart the game.

You can find the pointers with cheat engine. Once you find the health address right click it and select "Pointer scan for this address".
Default setup should be good. Once it's done restart your game and reattach cheat engine. Then in the pointer scan window select "pointer scanner" -> "Rescan memory".
Repeat the operation a few times to make sure the pointers you choose is good.

using GitHub - Kalamity/classMemory: An AHK memory reading/writing class with pattern scans. you'll get a working DX11/64bits auto flasker in a few lines of code :

You'll need to install/reinstall the 64 bits autoHotKey_L to test it. It'll pop the flask in your slot 1 whenever you're health drops under 80%/40% if this works. Also note that most useful information for your bots can be very easily fetched starting from the frameBase (IngameState) in PoE. So that's the important pointer to find for reference or dumb scanning, before the health/mana/.. data.

I can see in cheat engine, flask charges, skills timers, buffs, everything, I need a little help in how to setup in VB so I can read them and display in my little program. I don't need another stupid health pot program, I'm making something different. So far I manually have to input every adress witch is a pain in the ass, I wish I could code in the primary address and offsets (just update them every time game patches)

Not sure that is possible, as even with Guruds AHK AutoPot program uses an additional script to preform a AOB scan of the address shifts "AutoHotkeyMemoryLib.ahk"

just a guess, does this helps?

First of all, I don't know if you're trying to do this in x86 or x64 so it's hard for me to hold your hand enough to get you through it.

Secondly, these flask programs show you *exactly* how to do what you're hoping to do. In fact the very first memory reading program I did in PoE, I looked over an ahk flask script to find everything I needed (a base pattern to find a base offset and offsets from there to other structures that I needed) and wrote what has evolved into my private auto flasker in c#. So I'd strongly suggest looking over these ahk scripts. Even if you don't understand the syntax, it's pretty easy to get what you need out of it. There's a pattern to scan for (you can certainly find a visual basic function to find patterns, just google it). There are offsets from the base pattern. Just follow what they do.

Visual Basic 2015 for poe x32, I wan't to do it all inside VB. C+ and autohotkey work almost similarly. Reason why I use VB is because i know VB, I need 3 months to learn C+. If I could just have the code solved on how to work the offsets and how to find them in cheat engine, just that small thing. I tried array pattern searching it failed, I looked over 40 youtube tutorials for searching offets and I cant find out does it work from playerbase, healthbase. I'm writing these adresses in hex like this: &H28A75994& when they start in different format like 0x0054 I get confused.

I'm writing these adresses in hex like this: &H28A75994& when they start in different format like 0x0054 I get confused.

So for x86 you'd search for these bytes in memory:

    0x50, 0x64, 0x89, 0x25, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x83, 0xEC, 0x20, 0xC7, 0x45, 0xF0, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0xA1

So we're looking for a pointer (4 bytes, because x86) that follows directly after this pattern. So to read where that pointer points to, we need to add 19 (or 0x13) to where we found the pattern (the pattern is 19 bytes long, which is where that number is coming from).

So if you read the 4 byte int value at that found pattern + 0x13, you'll be pointed to a new object. HUD sort of calls this base, but it doesn't really have an object for it, it just uses an int to store the offset. From there it reads the first 4 bytes of the 'base' object and gets pointed to a new object (HUD actually doesn't use an object here, it uses a multi-level pointer to get to where it wants to, I'd suggest looking this up if you are unfamiliar, rather than worrying about naming every structure you can skip through several structures at once and only worry about naming the important ones). Then in this object it reads the pointer at offset 4 and gets a new object. Then in this new object, it reads the pointer at offset 0xFC. Then in this new object it reads the object at offset 0x1C and this is what HUD calls InGameState.

Inside of InGameState you can read a pointer at offset 0x138 and get what HUD calls InGameData. Inside InGameData you can read the offset at 0x144 and this is your local player's entity. Inside the local player entity, you can read the pointer at localplayer + 0x4 and get a component list (the ahk script calls this player main, I think). This component list is a list of pointers, to get the Life component (ahk script calls this playerstats), you'd read the 4th pointer, which is at offset 0xC. So now you have the life component. Inside the life component you can read values at the following offsets:

0x2C - MaxHP 
0x30 - CurrentHP
0x38 - ReservedHP
0x50 - MaxMana
0x54 - CurrentMana
0x5C - ReservedMana
0x74 - MaxES
0x78 - CurrentES
