read herb/mining node xyz

[deadbeef]

I am looking for any information about pointers/offsets to read xyz-positions of mining nodes/herbs in WoW relativ to the objectbaseaddress.

I managed to read NPC/Player xyz, Health, Level, NPCnames with the TLS method. I think herbs and mining nodes are object type 1 (not sure) but I can find their xyz and name.

this is what I use atm for 2.4.3:
static:
0x00C6E960 targetguid

objectlist_base
+0xC0 playerguid
+0xAC first object

currentobject_base (objectbase)
+0x14 objecttype
+0x30 objectguid
+0x3C next object
+0xBF0 x_pos
+0xBF4 y_pos
+0xBF8 z_pos
+0xBFC rot
[+0x120]+0x40 Health
[+0x120]+0x70 Level
[[+0xDB8]+0x40] name (only for type 3)

Gameobject X/Y/Z is at 0x258. Finding the name offset will be a valuable exercise in memory scanning techniques. I can only suggest you persist with it, as it's not a complicated relationship.

Yay for injection and the VMT!

Amen to that, sister.

hmm I could not find any xyz currentobject_base+0x258, is this some offset for a function call when u injected ur code? I don't do injection, just memory reading. Warden makes me piss my panties - I'll avoid injections until I have better understanding of how to hide and protect my code from Warden.

I was able to find it myself and its objecttype 5: (not type 1 like I thought first)
[currentobject_base + 0xEC] +0x6C = X
[currentobject_base + 0xEC] +0x70 = Y
[currentobject_base + 0xEC] +0x74 = Z

Yay for injection and the VMT!

Cypher u 1337haxxor ...VMT? virtual...err... whatever!... u make my trollbrain explode

No need to be scared of lolWarden!

[deadbeef]

btw kynox your objectdumper is awsome, I modified it to show me some additional informations like names and other stuff. It helped me to find some addresses.
But I think I found a little mistake:
In the dwGetObjManager( DWORD dwPID ) function the snapshot handle is not being closed when the function returns dwObjManager successfull.

Y halo thar!

Virtual Method Table. Its a feature of most object oriented languages. (eg C++)

Not really a big deal because you're not running the app over a long period of time and calling the function multiple times so it generally won't result in a leak. Windows cleans up any mess when the process exits.

If you're worried about it tho just throw in a CloseHandle.

The name for a gameobjects is at [[objectptr + 0x224]+0x78]. A few other pointers seem to point to the same place, FYI.

The x,y,z for gameobjects are in the eGameObjectFields, which start at address [ptr+0x8] + 0x18
. The X coordinate is 0x24 bytes from that address (so [ptr+0x8] + 0x18 + 0x24. FYI, the ptr + 0x8 is a pointer to the start of the eObjectFields, and 0x18 is the length of the eObjectFields (for a game object, the eGameObjectFields starts right after, for other types it is obviously different). All herb/mining nodes are 'chest' game object types (0x3), which can be read in from the gameobject type field at eGameObjectFields+0x3C.

This is a list I created to filter herbs and ore veins for my radar. The user should be able to toggle-> show Copper Veins for example. The filter works simply by comparing the read value of eGameObjFields -> GAMEOBJECT_DISPLAYID with the displayID in the list.

How did I create this list (using WotLK Beta 8820Build):
->Open MyWarcraftStudio -> open \Data\enGB\locale-enGB.mpq -> open "DBFilesClient" Folder -> Open "GameObjectDisplayInfo.dbc".
->To find ore veins search for "miningnode".
->To find herbs search for "bush", but be carefull, some bushes are other stuff. If you see 'TradeskillNodes' in the path these are real herbs.

I'm looking for a list of GAMEOBJECT_TYPE_ID too. I only know:
3 = chests, herbs, mining nodes
5 = roadsigns
6 = campfire (6 or 8 can both be used for cooking?)
7 = chairs
8 = cozy fire
9 = books, other signs
19 = mailbox
34 = guild vault
May be this could be found in a mpq file too.

311 Gold
312 Iron
313 Mithril
314 Truesilver

I marked some with ?? because I could not remember these... but I never had herbalism as profession ^^

Here's the type list I use (sorry, Python code, should be simple to read though)

Taken from ISXWoW and MaNgoS.

I differentiate herbs and mining nodes based on their names instead of their displayids. Though you can do either.

gameobjecttypes = [
'door', #0
'button',
'questgiver',
'chest',
'binder',
'generic', # 5
'trap',
'chair',
'spellfocus',
'text',
'goober', # 10
'transport',
'areadamage',
'camera',
'worldobj',
'mapobjtransport', # 15
'duelarbiter',
'fishingnode',
'ritual',
'mailbox',
'auctionhouse', # 20
'guardpost',
'spellcaster',
'meetingstone',
'flagstand',
'fishinghole', # 25
'flagdrop',
'minigame',
'lottery',
'capturepoint',
'auragenerator', # 30
'dungeondiff',
'unknown1',
'building',
'guildbank']

Here's what I use. Credits ISXWoW.

enum eGameObjType
{
    GOT_Door=0,
    GOT_Button=1,
    GOT_QuestGiver=2,
    GOT_Chest=3,
    GOT_Binder=4,
    GOT_Generic=5,
    GOT_Trap=6,
    GOT_Chair=7,
    GOT_SpellFocus=8,
    GOT_Text=9,
    GOT_Goober=0xa,
    GOT_Transport=0xb,
    GOT_AreaDamage=0xc,
    GOT_Camera=0xd,
    GOT_WorldObj=0xe,
    GOT_MapObjTransport=0xf,
    GOT_DuelArbiter=0x10,
    GOT_FishingNode=0x11,
    GOT_Ritual=0x12,
    GOT_Mailbox=0x13,
    GOT_AuctionHouse=0x14,
    GOT_SpellCaster=0x16,
    GOT_MeetingStone=0x17,
    GOT_FORCEDWORD=0xFFFFFFFF,
};

Furthermore, for herbs/mines/etc I use GetModel. Here's my implementations.

bool CGGameObject_C::IsFish()
{
    if (GetSubType() == GOT_FishingNode)
        return true;
    return false;
}

bool CGGameObject_C::IsFoodOrWater()
{
    if (GetModel())
    {
        if (strstr(GetModel(),"BARREL") || strstr(GetModel(),"Barrel") || strstr(GetModel(),"Crate"))
            return true;
    }
    return false;
}

bool CGGameObject_C::IsTreasure()
{
    if (GetObjectName() && GetSubType() == GOT_Chest)
    {
        if (IsHerb() || IsMine() || strstr(GetObjectName()," Power Crystal"))
            return false;
        else if (IsFoodOrWater())
            return true;
        else
            return true;
    }
    return false;
}

bool CGGameObject_C::IsHerb()
{
    if (GetModel() && strstr(GetModel(),"TradeskillNodes\Bush"))
        return true;
    return false;
}

bool CGGameObject_C::IsMine()
{
    if (GetModel() && strstr(GetModel(),"_Miningnode_"))
        return true;
    return false;
}

GetModel and GetObjectName are in the CGObject_C VMT.

virtual char * GetModel() = 0;                    // Function16
virtual const char * GetObjectName() = 0;        // Function42

Thanks, I'm sure I can use this later to filter some objects...

I think I'll have to create some kind of GUI for the rader. I searched the mpq-files and extracted the Icons for all kind of ores and herbs. Now I use them as textures. Then I made a filter ... I can now toggle:
- show copper
- show gold
- show tin
etc...
but binding everything to a key ... hm...than every key on the whole keyboard would do something lol. Ofc I could just do toggle -> show herbs or show ore but some ppl told me they would like to hide some of these.

Here is a screenshot I made on some privateserver, the GMs there build alot of strange stuff with objects. The Radar is a scalable, dragable 3DOpenGL window made 'always on top'.

Minimap textures are stored in the MPQs but they're given retarded names, you need to work out how to convert your coords to a usable minimap file then draw that onto your radar.

this sounds cool, is it gona be released and made so i can use it :>
if not thats okay
