C# blackmagic & SWTOR [SOLVED]

[GRB]

Hello,

Yesterday i decided to create a teleport hack in C# using blackmagic for memory manipulation and come across a problem that its passing my knowledge of c#
So im here seeking some help to see whats wrong from some professional on ownedcore.

First of all i have the pointers to get the X,Y,Z updated! I can move using cheat engine, but wanted to create a program to do it.
Second on this example code i will post im not using the pointers, but im using the final address that CE is gaving me for easy reading.


This is just for testing purpose, and to get were my error hapens.
Program content is:
- 1 label1
- 1 timer1

So heres the Code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using Magic;

namespace TEST
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            timer1.Start();
        }

        private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            BlackMagic sw = new BlackMagic();
            if (sw.OpenProcessAndThread(SProcess.GetProcessFromWindowTitle("Star Wars: The Old Republic")))
            {
                //MessageBox.Show("Success");
                float x = sw.ReadFloat(0xF3F6476C); // this address is the current X address
                label1.Text = "Current X:" + x;
            }
            else
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Failed");
            }
        }
    }
}

So, everything is good to go, when i just start the program, im getting always the same error.
"ReadFloat Failed"

even other tests i made with readuint, readdouble, etc all are giving me "read**** Failed"

So what can be happening? Whats the major problem with C# memory manipulating and SWTOR?


PS - I tryed the exact same code with other game with diferent offset, and its working flawless, just not on SWTOR.

Any help on the understanding whats happing is greatly aprreciated, already blow up my mind trying to find whats the problem.

Thanks for your time reading this.

Thanks zzj for ur help.

My guess is that you are opening the wrong process since there are two processes. I have not used the method to open the process you are using though. Otherwise the incorrect offset, but you said you used that offset in CE.


--edit
To find out if its the correct one, print out the process id of the process you open. sw.processid <--- or something. Then open your task manager and look at the top swtor.exe pid. The bottom one is the incorrect one I believe.

Its opening the right process, since only one of those processes have a window called "Star Wars: The Old Republic".

[zzj]

you actually need the swtor.exe process that does not have any window title

[GRB]

you actually need the swtor.exe process that does not have any window title

I do? Mind to explain please?

I dont think i do, since CE uses only one of those processes. Why would i need both of them for C#?


[Solved]

Thanks zzj, i actually need the other one, and not the windows one! thank you very much + rep.

If you would have taken my advice you would have found it was the incorrect one as well.

i just have a drop down so user can select either one to find which one is right ;P

then read memory based off the chosen process ID

     public void getProcesses()
        {
            Process[] tempProcesses;
            int[] IDsList;
            comboProcess.Items.Clear();
            tempProcesses = Process.GetProcesses();
            IDsList = new int[tempProcesses.Length];
            int i = 0;

            foreach (Process pro in tempProcesses) {
                //if (pro.MainWindowTitle != "")
               // {
                if (pro.ProcessName == "swtor")
                {
                    comboProcess.Items.Add(pro.Id);
                    IDsList[i] = pro.Id;
                    i++;
                }
               // }
               // else
               // {
                //    comboProcess.Items.Add(pro.ProcessName);
                //    IDsList[i] = pro.Id;
               //     i++;
               // }
           }

        }

           }

        }

Awesome

With this you must add this reference btw

using System.Diagnostics;

Does anyone have a good way of determining which process is the correct one?

[Artek72]

Get the first process by window name "Star Wars: The Old Republic".
Save the Pid.
The "swtor.exe" with a different pid is the right one.

[Apoc]

Process proc = Process.GetProcessesByName("swtor").FirstOrDefault(p => string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(p.MainWindowTitle));

[GRB]

Apoc any chance to start having dump files from swtor, like they exist on wow?

I know ur the men to do it.
