Unlocking LUA

[prayas]

Can someone briefly explain what "Unlocking lua" means? I use hacks and stuff, but I never understood what LUA means. Just drop a comment and explain what it means. Thanks. I play on Monster wow 4.3.4, and my char name is MoarQQ (horde) whisper me there and explain what it means or just reply. Thanks.

I searched the forums a bit, and found this good answer from our member l0l1dk:

There are functions in WoW's addon API which are "protected", and can only be called from secure (Blizzard) Lua code. These protected functions do things such as control movement, spell casting, etc.. A Lua Unlock will allow insecure code (regular addons) to call these protected functions. Lua Unlocks are usually used for AH sniping, or for automating your rotation. You can find macros and scripts which use a Lua Unlock for your class here.

But what do i do with it? I play a fury warr. Can you tell me what to do exactly. Gimme some macros or anything please?

*snarky* It's not LUA, it's Lua.

Anyways, to WoWAPI is classified into Unprotected, Protected, and Combat-Lock.

Certain calls are always protected, certain never are, and certain only during combat.

What happens when we unlock the Lua (the language WoW uses), we can utilize protected functions / api calls that we normally couldnt, e.g. Jump, use items without Hardware input, and more.

Generally when we Lua Unlock, we remove the safeguards by over-writing certain Hexes (called offsets) during injection. This means that, if we unlocked the offsets pertaining to CastSpellByName(), we can use it passively (as seen by ProbablyEngine).

Lua itself is a development language, commonly used in scripting. Lua is Cross Platform,and being written in ANSI C, has relatively simple C API calls. Lua is Portuguese (correct me if I'm wrong) for moon.

Lua powers a surprisingly vast number of modern programs:

Garry's Mod addons use Lua,
Nginix uses lua for socketing
Flame, a hilariously powerful espionage malware, uses lua
APL uses Lua for it's GUI

I could give a further breakdown, but I don't think that's what you wanted.

Take a look at Probably Engine if you want a bot that does your rotation for you and an example what Lua unlocking can do.
Also, use the search function and google to find info. I'm not a big fan of spoon feeding when there is tons of info/threads about this already here on OwnedCore

Good luck!

You'll need an injection program, the proper offsets, and some way to effectively utilize it. You can't do godmode or anything like that, if that's what you were looking for.

I wasn't really looking for something that big. It just looked exciting. I have wow admin panel 2.0. All the other hacks work on the private server, but i wanna try something new. Can you give examples of what I can do in Monster wow with my fury warr?

If you already have paid hacks for private servers, Lua unlocking is not only probably(hue) included, but way under your feet. Wow's API is purposefully not powerful enough to do things like that.

Btw repped both of you

It's possible there is added protection around those; try joining the arena/bg and then injecting, check any logs generated afterwards in your wow dir.

Additionally, talk to the guy who made it. He knows it's insides better than I would, and I doubt it's open source!

Thank you!
