[Release] WoWBasic 2.0

[Remus]

In for the lulz; wishing i could do this type of coding but alas.. you guys are tha bomb. peace

[Cypher]

I assume self-commenting code is just not a possibility eh?

Ask Cypher how most of my code looks, very very rarely do I ever comment anything. The code does it for me. And if you can't read code, then you couldn't understand what the hell was happening anyway, with or without comments.

Cypher's code is usually fairly clean (for the exception of that DBC dumper he posted earlier), though he's retarded enough to write that code in the first place.

P.S; EW!!!!! VB!!!! EWW!!!!

That was more of a PoC/"oh it works".

Clean version (and I must say I'm quite proud of how clean and terse I managed to get such a low level function) :

    const unsigned int PointerDist = 0xB, IndexDist = 0x1, LoopDist = 0x14, OpcodeRet = 0xC3, RegCallDist = 0x10, GetCallDist = 0x10, NamePtrDist = 0x1;
    for(unsigned int Start = gpRedPillMgr->GetFindPattern()->GetAddress("CDBClient__RegisterBase"); ResolveLea<BYTE>(Start) != OpcodeRet; Start += LoopDist)
    {
        CDBClient* pDBClient = ResolveLea<CDBClient*>(Start + PointerDist);
        unsigned int Index = ResolveLea<unsigned int>(Start + IndexDist);
        unsigned int RegFunc = ResolveRel(Start + RegCallDist);
        unsigned int GetFunc = ResolveRel(RegFunc + GetCallDist);
        std::string Name = FormatString(ResolveLea<const char*>(GetFunc + NamePtrDist));
        gpRedPillMgr->GetLog()->Add(str(boost::format("0x%p -> DBClient(Name: %s Index: %i)") %pDBClient %Name.c_str() %Index));
        m_Databases[Index] = pDBClient;
        m_DatabaseNames[Index] = Name;
        m_DatabaseIndexes[Name] = Index;
    }

And yes. Self explanatory (ie clean, well written) code is always better than disgusting but heavily commented code.

Basic syntax deserves to die!
Hell I'm still downloading the god damned patch >.<

[shauno]

in wowbasic 3.0 there is a bunch of new things you can do with the library

Awesome, can't wait for 3.0 I love this kinda stuff.

A bored C#/.NET programmer at work with WoW on his work PC = funtimes :P

[Gravecorp]

I was wondering, is this up to date with the 3.0.2 patch?
If it is. It might be a great start for me to get into this ^_^

I am hoping i can help contribute to the community once i get a decent understanding of interaction with the client.

Looks much better than the crap you had before :P

Also about comments read the link below. It's stuck with me for a long time (read it a loooooooong time ago) and it pretty much explains how you should be using comments.

Learn C++ - » 1.2 — Comments

In particular, this quote:

At the statement level, comments should be used to describe why the code is doing something. A bad statement comment explains what the code is doing. If you ever write code that is so complex that needs a comment to explain what a statement is doing, you probably need to rewrite your code, not comment it.

In particular, this quote:

True to an extent. But sometimes when working with particularly obscure sections of code (ie Very low level or highly specialized features) you may need to document the what and no amount of refactoring will fix that.

[Xarg0]

or just comment every single line of code like those crazy java programmers

 for(int i=0; i>10 break; i++) {//this is the header of the for loop 
 prinf("Omg it's a char constant! this is the %s", i); // this prints some stupid text and the value of i
}// this is the end of the for loop, hell that was hard to figure out *gg

This section is over your head, kindly back up and head back to the "Noobs R Us" store.

Have a great day!

lawl kynox is a noobie because kynox knows all about the noobs r us store

You're a ****ing dumbass.

Please if you have nothing to contribute to this section I ask you go back to the mental health clinic you came from. This section is for the more 'intellectual' members of the community, of which you are definately not a part. So as kynox said, "you're a ****ing dumbass" and I shall add "get the **** out".

PS. Enjoy your -rep.
