Reading unit name

[miceiken]

I have a issue reading unit's name. This is what my dump looks like.



I've tried these two combinations:

core.WoWPID.ReadString(new IntPtr(core.WoWPID.ReadUInt(new IntPtr(core.WoWPID.ReadUInt(new IntPtr(baseAddress + 0x1f4)) + 0x078))));
core.WoWPID.ReadString(new IntPtr(core.WoWPID.ReadUInt(new IntPtr(baseAddress + 0x1f4)) + 0x078));

or

(string)[ (int)[ (int)[ baseAddress + 0x1F4 ] + 0x078 ]]
(string)[ (int)[ baseAddress + 0x1F4 ] + 0x078]

Name's are derived differently for different objects. That's why the function to retrieve them is VIRTUAL.

You're either going to have to implement retrieval for each type, or just call the function.

Player names are stored in the cache, unit names in a struct, gameobject names in a different struct (I think... can't remember), etc.

I am aware of that, I am sorry if I didn't make my self clear (did I at all?).
I am intending to implement retrievval for each type (this is not an issue with my object manager).
This is for reading NPC name and all my searching says that these are the correct addresses.

You could always, y'know, take a look for yourself. Crazy idea I know.

Find an NPC, search for its name in memory, trace it backwards.

The "UnitName" function is your friend, take a look at it in IDA/Olly.
Anyway, pszName = [[UnitBaseAddress + 0x970] + 0x3C] // 3.0.9

Belive me when I say I've tried tracing it in OllyDbg, thanks anyway SKU, will try.

Unitbase = ?

Yeah, yeah, flame away.

[Nesox]

Unitbase = ?

Yeah, yeah, flame away.

it's the pointer to the start of the class of a unit

[Cypher]

Unitbase = ?

Yeah, yeah, flame away.

Wtf? Seriously?

[Nesox]

Im not suprised

[jjaa]

Unitbase = ?

Yeah, yeah, flame away.

Seriously, if you don't understand the basics of classes/objects and polymorphism you really shouldn't be reversing WoW....
