how to get player tradition chinese name

[j121780im]

i use Black_Magic.dll to get the player name , but it only display English font, that's ok.
in tradition chinese font, it will output messy code..

i try

curName = wow.ReadASCIIString(pCurName, 100);

alter

curName = wow.ReadUnicodeString(pCurName, 100);

but ...still same.

someone have any solution ?

this's problem confuse me a long. :confused:

read the raw hex and convert it to the encoding that is used on chineese computers

WoW represents strings as UTF-8 ( read the Wikipedia article about it ), you have to convert it first. You can still use your "ReadASCIIString" function as UTF-8 characters are never 0 within a string.

ok, use ReadASCIIString read "TEST Ship"
ascii is

84,69,83,84,32,83,104,105,112,

but, use ReadASCIIString read some chinese

63,63,63,63,63,63,

i can't convert to utf8 that can't read all .

because i use Magic.dll , i can't rewritten some fuction
i try all read function , then convert to byte see the Decimal.
it still not completed.

but i try other MemoryRead source , then add a fuction.
it's working ! can read real chinese string.

     public string Utf8String(IntPtr MemoryAddress, uint Len)
        {
            byte[] temp = ReadProcessMemory(MemoryAddress, Len);
            return Encoding.UTF8.GetString(temp); 
        }

but, i like Magic.dll than MemoryRead , someone has better solution ?. or better read memory source. (i know this website has many .dll )

thanks !

Correct me of I'm wrong, but I think shynd released the sourcecode and project files for his BlackMagic library, adding a your method should be easy enough

[Shynd]

public string ReadUTF8String(IntPtr hProcess, uint Address, int Length)
{
    byte[] buffer = SMemory.ReadBytes(hProcess, Address, Length);
    return Encoding.UTF8.GetString(buffer);
}

And then call it like string asdf = ReadUTF8String(blackmagic.ProcessHandle, 0x12345678, 20); where blackmagic is the name of your BlackMagic class object.

excuse , have blackmagic support read byte[] function ?..
i only have .dll file , i find't it
how get blackmagic source code ?

i need learn more.. ~"~

either you decompile it, or you search around on gd and here for the link.
EDIT: here it is BlackMagic

ok,~ i add utf8 function

  public static string ReadUtf8String(IntPtr hProcess, uint dwAddress, int nLength)
        {
            IntPtr lpBuffer = IntPtr.Zero;
            byte[] buf = ReadBytes(hProcess, dwAddress, nLength);
            if (buf == null)
                throw new Exception("ReadByte failed.");


            return Encoding.UTF8.GetString(byteTrim(buf));
        }

        private static byte[] byteTrim(byte[] buf)
        {
            int byteCounter = 0;
            for (int i = 0; i < buf.Length; i++)
            {
                if (buf[i] != 0)
                {
                    byteCounter++;
                }
                else
                {
                    break;
                }
            }

            byte[] readStrByte = new byte[byteCounter];
            for (int i = 0; i < readStrByte.Length; i++)
            {
                readStrByte[i] = buf[i];
            }

            return readStrByte;

i appreciate you ! ^^
