PlayerFields and Power UnitFields

[joetheodd]

I'm new to memory editing and I've found out a lot of the basics (even setting process permissions to allow process reading -- that was tough!) but two things stump me. And yes, I've searched for both.

First, can anyone tell me what type of "power" UNIT_FIELDS_POWER(MAX) 1-7 indicate? I've noticed that 1 is mana and 3 is energy (druid/rogue). 7 appears to be runic power x10, and 2 seemed to move with my rage bar but I couldn't find a true correlation. Is this documented somewhere?

Also, for PlayerFields, what's the offset to get these from the base pointer? Like for UnitFields, it's [basepointer+0x08].

I'll be gone 'til Friday starting early tomorrow morning, but hopefully I can get it working when I return. If anyone's wondering, I'm just exploring memory reading as I'm going to college for programming, and I'd like to eventually come up with a new generation of KickAssMap (radar), and possibly write an out-of-process bot.

Thanks!

playerobject + 0x16 should be what you are looking for.

Upon re-reading, I could have been more clear. Here's how I define ptr_base:

           ptr_base = (uint)readIntFromMemory(0x10BD5F4);
            ptr_base = (uint)readIntFromMemory(ptr_base + 0x34);
            ptr_base = (uint)readIntFromMemory(ptr_base + 0x24);

Basically what everone does. Immediately following that, I set descriptor.

ptr_descriptor = (uint)readIntFromMemory(ptr_base + 0x8);

Now, from there, I can easily get anything out of the UnitFields. I copypasta'd directly from the 3.1.3 Info Dump to make that Enum, as well as the PlayerFields. For example, getting level with these two variables set:

        public int getLevel() {
            return readIntFromMemory(ptr_descriptor + ((uint)UnitFields.UNIT_FIELD_LEVEL * 4));
        }

However, I'm not sure how to find the base offset of the PlayerFields for my character. I interpreted what you said as [basePtr + 0x16], but that didn't return the correct value for PlayerFields.PLAYER_FIELDS_COINAGE. Am I totally doing it wrong?

some_data = [[objectbase + 0x16] + PLAYER_SOME_FIELD * 4]

Maybe it got changed. Got no IDA here to look for it

I guess what I'm asking, then, is what is / how do I get object base?
