[help] Getting a firm grip on the object manager...

[yeahlol]

Hello!

Since this is my first post ill start off by a little introduction: Im yeahlol, a 23 year old programmer and recently discovered wow memory reading. I have this thing of breaking stuff to see how they work, and now I want to see what makes wow tick

But after some research, trying and then failing im turning to the forum (which looks nice ) for help.

My problem: I want to loop thru the object manager and read all relevant objects that exists in that list.

I'll just post what i have so far and hopefully only small changes in my logic needs to be changed

"My" enums:

public enum ObjectManager : uint
        {
            CLIENT_CONNECTION = 0x8B2F78,
            OBJECT_MANAGER_OFFSET = 0x462C,
            FIRST_OBJECT = 0xB4,
            NEXT_OBJECT = 0x3C,
            LOCAL_GUID_OFFSET = 0xB8,
        }

        public enum ObjectOffsets : uint
        {
            OBJECT_FIELD_GUID = 0x0,
            OBJECT_FIELD_TYPE = 0x8,
            OBJECT_FIELD_ENTRY = 0xC,
            OBJECT_FIELD_SCALE_X = 0x10,
            OBJECT_FIELD_DATA = 0x14,
            OBJECT_FIELD_PADDING = 0x1C,
        }

C#:

uint ClientConnection = 0;
uint ObjectMngr = 0;
uint FirstObject = 0;

public static BlackMagic WowReader = new BlackMagic();
ClientConnection = WowReader.ReadUInt((uint)Pointers.ObjectManager.CLIENT_CONNECTION);
ObjectMngr = WowReader.ReadUInt((uint)(ClientConnection + Pointers.ObjectManager.OBJECT_MANAGER_OFFSET));
FirstObject = WowReader.ReadUInt((uint)(ObjectMngr + Pointers.ObjectManager.FIRST_OBJECT));

Debugging in VS2010 stops the code at uint ObjectMngr = ... and hovering ClientConnection says its 0... could anyone able please point out what is wrong, am i misunderstanding the use of ReadUint? Are the pointers wrong? Im trying to get it to work with 4.0.3.13287 and the addresses should be right i think.

I would also give a shout out to what seems to be good datamining (the offsets) and blackmagic, if i manage to pull this off it would save me a lot of work

You forgot to add wow.exe to the pointers.

[yeahlol]

You forgot to add wow.exe to the pointers.

OH! Yes, ofcourse... that makes sence. Thought maybe black magic did this for me in some magical way

Two silly questions: 1) how do i obtain it and do i need to add it to every memory read i do? BTW: is my syntax okey? I was a but unsure with the (uint) casting.

Cast to uint as much as you want, and you only need to add the wow base address to pointers, not offsets from that pointer, also getting it is simple:

IntPtr WowBaseAddress = Process.GetProcessesByName("Wow")[0].MainModule.BaseAddress;
