Some questions...

[Shamun]

So guys I've got some questions for you :P

1. Can I know if I'm dead or alive (click the message for release, if dead)

2. How can I select an option from a npc window? (i.e I want to bind my home at the inn keeper)

Are there any functions I can use, I don't want to use simulation for input...

Thanks

I believe there was a hacky, bullshit way of finding out if you're a ghost or not. Something along the lines of your HITPOINTS reads as 0 when you're dead and haven't released and as 1 when you've released and are a ghost. Honestly, there's better ways of doing it, but that's probably the simplest (if it's even correct... I'm basing that all on memory from years ago).

Look into the WoW LUA API. There's all sorts of ways of interacting with NPC dialogue windows.

Thanks for the help!
I've got another question, I've the offset for the realm Id that I'm connecting to but I want to know the id of the realm i'm selecting at the choose realm list.
Does anyone know how it can be done?

IMO, if you're gonna do a bot that also log on automaticly, you should instead make your program change the setting in the Config.wtf file before launching the game.

There's a setting called:

SET realmName "Mannoroth"

Set your realm you want to connect to and you want have the trouble of choosing the realm and all.

You can check if you're dead in several ways:
1. Events generated by the games LUA subsystem.
2. Checking your HP and unit flags. (If your HP is 0 you're dead, you can check if you're a ghost - which is different to being dead - by checking a unit flag, I can't recall exactly what the flag is but its easy to find)
3. Theres probably a LUA API you could call to check.

As for selecting options from an NPC window, the easiest way by far is through LUA.

This is all assuming you're inside the process, you didn't specify.

Again, LUA.

Unfortunately most of them are undocumented, here's some of the ones you may want to look into:
RequestRealmList
RealmListUpdateRate
CancelRealmListQuery
GetNumRealms
GetRealmInfo
ChangeRealm
GetRealmCategories
SortRealms
RealmListDialogCancelled
IsInvalidTournamentRealmCategory
IsTournamentRealmCategory

And events such as (but not limited to - you may need to dump a detailed list):
GET_PREFERRED_REALM_INFO
SUGGEST_REALM
OPEN_REALM_LIST
UPDATE_STATUS_DIALOG
CLOSE_STATUS_DIALOG

Using LUA you could quite easily implement realm selection. You may also want to look into console cvars and reading/writing them in memory such as 'realmName'. If you don't need to 'force' cvars GetCvar and SetCvar from the LUA API would do.

You may want to look into my 3.0.2 sticky and the LUA dump for functions which may help you. Most will not be documented on places like WoWWiki as for the most part addons cannot use them.

IMO, if you're gonna do a bot that also log on automaticly, you should instead make your program change the setting in the Config.wtf file before launching the game.

There's a setting called:

SET realmName "Mannoroth"

Set your realm you want to connect to and you want have the trouble of choosing the realm and all.

Thats a particularly poor way of doing it imo that suffers from several obvious (and some less obvious) drawbacks.

Thx I'll try that though it sounds hard i'm kinda new with all this RE stuff.
I hope I can do it.

Cypher,

Thanks for helping me the LUA earlier.

for c=1, #GetRealmCategories() do
for i=1, GetNumRealms() do 
if (GetRealmInfo(c,i) == "Terokkar") then 
ChangeRealm(c,i) 
return
end
end
end

Selects a Realm perfectly Character selection is easier.

I can't call protected lua funtions. Any clues?

option 1. do some debugging on a protected lua function and find out why you can't call it.

option 2. use cyphers handy-dandy super-post which should already have it labeled.

You can do both, but i highly recommend that you go check the wowapi yourself since you might fall across a function or 2 you might need for something else also.

Cypher,

if (GetRealmInfo(c,i) == "Terokkar") then 
ChangeRealm(c,i)

Can you post your implemention for GetRealmCategories, GetNumRealms, GetRealmInfo and ChangeRealm if it isn't too much to ask... hehe

[kynox]

They're LUA functions.. are you retarded?

[Shamun]

yes, I thuoght it's obvious

[Shynd]

yes, I thuoght it's obvious

Which is exactly what we think, as well.

[Shamun]

i guess you judge ppl only by their knowledge in memory reading and this shit
