Login State

[Cypher]

Y halo thar.

I was wondering if anyone knows where the global is that stores the current login state. (Logged out, authenticating, logged in, etc etc)

I mainly need to detect whether I'm in-game or not. But the more states the better.

(Need this to get event handling working properly.)

Thanks. Cookies, epix, and +9 rep to whomever finds it.

So you want a program to see if you're online?

Well, you have to look for someone with C++ experience, and he has to attach a packet sniffer to the wow protocol.

No. I want the global address that tells me at what part of the login process I'm up to.

unsigned int* pLoginState = 0xB00B1E5;
enum LoginState
{
LOGIN_STATE_LOGINSCREEN,
LOGIN_STATE_CHARSELECT,
LOGIN_STATE_ZONINGIN,
LOGIN_STATE_INGAME
}
if (*LoginState == LOGIN_STATE_INGAME)
// doshit

I just made up the enum and address of course. But that's what I want. I need to detect what part of the login process I'm at so I know when to register and unregister certain data.

To my knowledge, such state does not exist. Authentication is pretty easy to nail down, just watch the packet stream for SMSG_AUTH_RESPONSE, if it sends 0C in the first byte (only byte i read), you're logged in.. if you get an smsg_char_enum, you're at the login screen, if you get an SMSG_COMPRESSED_OBJECT_UPDATE, you're in world (though you may not have a UI yet, might still be at the loading screen for real clients)

I see..

You need to inject a .dll file for this to work (i guess).
It's not going to be easy. I think you can use a packet sniffer (as said before) to get the data it sends. And using that data, you can find out at which part you're up to.

This is just theory, there's a big chance it won't work

Hope that helps

 public enum Gamestate : uint
    {
        Login = 0x1,
        Charselect = 0x2,
        Game = 0x3,
    }

private const uint GAME_STATE = 0x103F6E8;

public Gamestate Status
        {
            get
            {
                if (ObjectMgrBase == 0)
                {
                    string state = iBlackMagic.ReadASCIIString(GAME_STATE, 256);
#if DEBUG
                    Debug.WriteLine("State returned: " + state);
#endif
                    if (state == "login")
                    {
                        return Gamestate.Login;
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        return Gamestate.Charselect;
                    }
                }
                else
                {
                    return Gamestate.Game;
                }
            }
        }

probably not the best way but works.

Edit: Oh kynox posted a flag

@Kynox: How did you find that? ive tried to find a function that uses that adress but without any luck.
I'll post my OOGManager after it's done, someone might find it useful

[Cypher]

Thanks. Got it working.

Warden scans it (O_O?), so i came across it at some point.

Seems to be a wired flag.

Before the First Login its 0xFF
At the Charselect Selection Screen it becomes 0x04
After Loading its 0x16
After Logout at the Charselect Screen it's still 0x16
Back at the Loging Screen still 0x16
After logingin back to Charselect Screen it's 0x04 again
....

Is it only me who see this wired stuff?

The 'messagebox' wow so kindly shows us evry time we log in. It changes values depending on what it shows, so it's good if ure making a OOGManager or some other out of game class so you know if you get stuck in a Que to a realm or something. And for the gluescreens there is a static variable you can read that tells you if ure at the Login glue charselect or charcreate/realmwizard. it wont change after you login tho but it's not hard to check if ure logged in.

Strange... The address harko posted is close to this but still a few bytes off (Or at least, it was when I looked a day or two again). Then again, I was probably mildly intoxicated at the time so maybe I was seeing things.
