WoW Modification Journal

[Shynd]

Many of us, here, are striving to create hunting bots--or other tools, from teleportation hacks to anti-afk bots--for World of Warcraft. It's taken me nearly a week of nothing but research to get from starting with zero knowledge to feeling like I have a pretty decent grasp on how to actually go about doing this. I've found a bunch of different topics with a bunch of great knowledge, but I've never found a vast amount of knowledge consolidated in one place. That is my goal.

I'm going to document every step I take--all my thoughts, methods, insights, findings, knowledge, etc.--from starting with nothing to (hopefully) having a decently workable product in a WordPress blog/journal. There's a few posts there, currently, that might help some of you who have just started catch up a little bit, and I will continue to post more stuff there as I learn more and develop more. Anyway, I hope this helps someone; writing even as little as I have, so far, has helped me.

Shynd's WoW Modification Journal
(Due to it being a blog and me being too lazy to do it any other way, things are currently posted with newest post first, so you have to read it backwards. HERE is a link to the Introduction, and there will be a link to each new article on the bottom of every page, allowing you to start at the beginning and read through.)



Please, bear with me as I learn and apply knowledge and share it with the community. I've got a full-time job and a girlfriend who, while awesome, does get a bit attention starved when I've been sitting in front of a computer, nerding out all day More will come, soon.

This is a cool project... Easy to understand = 2x +Rep for you Im happy about everything I can learn

Looks nice mate, you're making great progress!

Edit:

Just thought i would point out, where you say " If you inject a DLL, unlink your module (search gamedeception.net for unlinking modules)." - They scan through the modules via the Process's Page List, so this won't achieve too much. Nulling your DLL's EAT will beat this (But also screw up Ejecting your DLL).

Also, "Part of what Warden does is scan open windows and processes" - From what i've seen, warden doesn't seem to do these types of scans anymore. Mainly scans that do not leave the WoW.exe process space.

Hope it helps!

Does WoW rly hook createremoteThread?
Then I wonder how I was able to inject a dll by calling create remote thread on a allocated memory reagion to wich I wrote the opcodes for a LoadLiberayA call. ^^

@Xarg0: I was just repeating what bobbysing had posted over at gamedeception.net. Have no idea if that's true or not as I've never used it (as I stated).

@Kynox: Good information, I'll edit it with credits to you. Thanks again.

@Cursed: Thanks for the rep

Have updated the Journal, outlining how to get a unit's reaction (Hostile, Neutral, Friendly) without injecting code. Check it out .

Thanks for the rep. For the record, though, the only thing anyone needs to learn ASM is patience and persistence. I'm no smarter or better at this than anyone else here, that I assure you =p

* Credit kynox for this info *

At ObjectBase + 0014h there is a DWORD of the type of object that you are looking at:

enum ObjectType { ITEM = 1, CONTAINER, UNIT, PLAYER, GAMEOBJ, DYNOBJ, CORPSE };

Some objects, items, etc. won't have a real world location.

[Thybhalt]

And again a nice info Thank You =)

I've updated the journal, this time talking about Movement and, more specifically, facing rotation. For anyone struggling with turning to face an object or way point, this article is for you.

On a side note, I apologize for taking so much time between posts. My girlfriend and I went to Indiana Beach amusement park for the weekend (camping, rides, lots of girls in skimpy clothing and a girlfriend who will point out the hot ones and rate them with you) and just got back about 6 hours ago. After unpacking, I barely had time to eek out this one article, so there you go
