Chat Log

[HapaHaoleVA]

Quick and dirty class for reading the chat log:

public static class ChatLog
    {
        private const int MessageSize = 512;

        public static IEnumerable<string> ReadMessages(MemoryManager mem)
        {
            uint ptrNextChatMessageOffset = OffsetManager.GetAddress("Global", "ChatLogNextMessageOffset");

            uint ptrCurrentMessage = OffsetManager.GetAddress("Global", "ChatLog");
            uint ptrNextMessage = 0;
            string message = ".";

            while (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(message.Trim()))
            {
                message = mem.ReadString(ptrCurrentMessage, true, MessageSize);
                yield return message;

                ptrNextMessage = ptrCurrentMessage + ptrNextChatMessageOffset; // Sets ptrNextMessage to the next message in the log

                if (ptrNextMessage == ptrCurrentMessage)
                    break;
                else
                    ptrCurrentMessage = ptrNextMessage;
            }
        }

With a regular expression and a 'Message' structure you can have a sweet little logger.

Posting the offsets would be helpful...

chatOffset  0x0117938C
chatNxtMsg  0x17C0

Posting the offsets would be helpful...

0x0117938C + x * 0x17C0, Vx€[0,60[

Edit: Beaten
Edit2: Why isn't the universal quantifier in the ascii table ffs

[testout]

Anyone know if GM messages appear here? Now that they popup in their own window n all...

EDIT: and thanks for the offsets

'cause I'm just as lazy:

public static Regex MessageRegex = new Regex(
          "Type:\\s\\[(?<Type>\\d+)\\],\\sChannel:\\s\\[(?<Channel>.*?)" +
          "\\],\\sPlayer\\sName:\\s\\[(?<PlayerName>.*?)\\],\\sText:\\s" +
          "\\[(?<Message>.*)\\]",
        RegexOptions.CultureInvariant
        | RegexOptions.Compiled
        );

               ptrNextMessage = ptrCurrentMessage + ptrNextChatMessageOffset; // Sets ptrNextMessage to the next message in the log

                if (ptrNextMessage == ptrCurrentMessage)
                    break;
                else
                    ptrCurrentMessage = ptrNextMessage;

That condition will never be true because ptrNextChatMessageOffset is not zero.
So it makes little sense to put it there.
It would be better to remove that block and leave it as :

ptrCurrentMessage += ptrNextChatMessageOffset; // Sets ptrCurrentMessage to the next message in the log
