[C#] Getting started with making bots

[Aethon]

I've been a leecher on these forums for a while now and I've seen that quite a whole lot of people are interested in making bots for world of warcraft.

So I thought I'd make a guide on how to get started.

Requirements

• MVS 2010
• BlackMagic

Start off by creating a new C# project (.NET Framework 3.5)

And add the 2 BlackMagic DLL's as reference.

The Code
Start of with the following code

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Magic;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            
        }
    }
}

Notice the "Using Magic;" this is the BlackMagic library.

Now let's call the DLL, followed by finding the process and checking if the process was found. If it is found then print a "successful" message else print a error message.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Magic;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            BlackMagic BMagic = new BlackMagic();
            if (BMagic.OpenProcessAndThread(SProcess.GetProcessFromProcessName("Wow")))
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Found and Attached the World of Warcraft Process!");
            }
            else
            {
                Console.WriteLine("The World of Warcraft Process was not found!");
                Console.ReadLine();
            }
        }
    }
}

Now let's get World of Warcrafts Base Address and read the player name as well as print it.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Magic;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            BlackMagic BMagic = new BlackMagic();
            if (BMagic.OpenProcessAndThread(SProcess.GetProcessFromProcessName("Wow")))
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Found and Attached the World of Warcraft Process!");
                IntPtr BaseWoW = BMagic.MainModule.BaseAddress;
                string pName = BMagic.ReadASCIIString((uint)BaseWoW + 0x99B077, 256); //4.3.0 [15005]
                Console.WriteLine("Character name is " + pName);
                Console.ReadLine();
            }
            else
            {
                Console.WriteLine("The World of Warcraft Process was not found!");
                Console.ReadLine();
            }
        }
    }
}

And that's all there is too it.

Have a good one.

This is more of a tutorial rather then a release. What are the 2 BlackMagic DLLs and why does it have to be .NET 3.5?

A real good guide for a newbee just like me!

This was originally posted in the Bots & Programs section which required a prefix.

And I trust that people know how Google works.

This won't really help anyone make a bot... Guides teaching about the object manager, ADT file format, and the lua engine will help people make bots. Being able to read your character's name is rather useless, especially if you're not using the virtual methods to retrieve it.

Exactly my point. Your "release" is vague and inaccurate, and it's useless. By spending 10 minutes in these forums, you should find all the code you need to make a bot.

From a quick glance, I don't think it will even compile, as the following line appears to be wrong:

string pName = BMagic.ReadASCIIString((uint)BMagic + 0x99B077, 256); //4.3.0 [15005]

BMagic is an instance of a class, not the base address.

Sorry but this is nothing new... Repeating what you see is not really contributing back to the community. This is a slimmed down version of http://www.ownedcore.com/forums/worl...g-writing.html ((Tutorial) Starting WoW-Memory Reading/Writing)
I know its fun to discover new things and you want to share what you have learned, but if its just a repost plz keep it to your self. I mean it in the nicest way... As you will be criticized for not reading at the rules.

The path to hell...

[s2h]

string pName = BMagic.ReadASCIIString((uint)BMagic + 0x99B077, 256);

wrong here, should be string pName = BMagick.ReadASCIIString((uint)BaseWoW + 0x99B077, 256);

This is the reason I didn't post it in this section to begin with. I knew it was to vague to be accepted of any knowledgeable person in this section. But at the same time it would be appreciated by someone who doesn't spend that much time in this section.

It's the thought that counts.
