GetPlayerName()

[RawrSnarl]

Alright, duly noted, done. Now stop. It has yet to even CALL the function MemoryReadString. The GetPlayerName function is the only function in which MemoryReadString is called, and it fails to call it because I'm reading the memory incorrectly. You're fixing a lot of mistakes in my code, but ones I haven't even gotten to yet. The main problem I'm having is with how I screwed up translating the code I found here: NoMorePasting.com to C++. Except I have no idea where I went wrong.

Also... Why are you telling me how I need to allocate memory for a string when:

It took me until now to realize this, but I've used strings without any kind of prior memory allocation several other places in my code with no problems. This should be no different. IDK what you do or don't know, but I kinda doubt you're "super familiar" with C++ (which makes asking for your help translating the code a dangerous endeavor in itself), but this problem (in fact, this whole forum) is about reading WoW's memory.

A for effort, but I've just spent the last 4 hours chasing imaginary bugs through working code rather than focusing on what actually needs to be fixed.

Are you really flaming the one person who DIDN'T flame you, and tried to help you out? Really?

Unbelievable.

Now stop.

Done.

Also... Why are you telling me how I need to allocate memory for a string when:

Because I know... well, alot. I know that it doesn't matter how fancy the std::string class is... the win32 api needs memory to write to, and your magic class has no way of knowing how much space to allocate.

You are going to need to learn to debug. It is rather unlikely somebody is going to slog through your code looking for errors.

After reading this thread, I am not helping cloud_wizard again, ever, even with opinions or advice. What an ungrateful prick who has no ****ing idea what he's doing.

This thread amuses me.
