Need Help with GetBattlefieldWinner

[0_00_0]

I've been searching for the static addy for GetBattlefieldWinner but I've had no luck. I've also heard that it may be broken now. I'm going to keep searching, but I only found the 3.1.2 address. This project doesn't use BlackMagic so please don't point me in that direction. Alternativly, I can find another method to determine if the BG is finished. If anyone has any ideas that would be great!

Hook lua_Register, and find it yourself.

Pattern the 3.1.2 address, and apply that to the new WoW.exe.

Lua functions are _easy_ to get.

What does BlackMagic have to do with using vfuncs?

Sorry I haven't worked with BlackMagic yet i assumed that's how it worked.

So that address doesn't work for me. I tried reading as a bool in C++ and tried monitoring on CE as a 1 byte. Am I supposed to be reading it differently?

Lol. It is a lua function.

Thats a really easy function to reverse. Have fun.

Second hint:

Result: Integer - Faction/team that has won the battlefield. Results are: nil if nobody has won, 0 for Horde and 1 for Alliance in a battleground, 0 for Green Team and 1 for Yellow in an arena.

signed int __cdecl lua_GetBattlefieldWinner(int a1)
{
  signed int result; // eax@2

  if ( dword_11DA88C )
  {
    lua_pushnumber(a1, (long double)(unsigned int)dword_11DA890);
    result = 1;
  }
  else
  {
    sub_91AF60(a1);
    result = 1;
  }
  return result;
}

Hexrays really shines in situations like these.

[flo8464]

We are talking about the same function?
And which version are you using? For me it looks like:

signed int __thiscall sub_726C70(int this, int a2)
{
  signed int result; // eax@2
  double v3; // ST04_8@5
  int v4; // [sp+8h] [bp-4h]@1

  v4 = this;
  if ( dword_11DA88C )
  {
    __asm { fild    dword_11DA890 }
    if ( dword_11DA890 < 0 )
      __asm { fadd    ds:dbl_9876D8 }
    __asm { fstp    [esp+0Ch+var_C] }
    lua_pushnumber(a2, v3);
    result = 1;
  }
  else
  {
    lua_pushnil(a2);
    result = 1;
  }
  return result;
}

The latest, with FPU support. That double you see, 9876D8(4.294967296e9) is used for casting an integer into a double if it exceeds 2^32 from my understanding.

Inb4 "where do I download it".

I still get people asking me where I downloaded the latest version of IDA (5.5), and they're shocked when I say "I bought it".

Well IDA 5.5 isn't that expensive. But Hex-Rays is like $2299 USD, i would buy it.. if i had that much money to spend on a hobby.

Did you buy HexRays too!?!?!?!!!

Nah. I intend to eventually though. Currently I don't use it very much, I prefer converting the code from ASM to C myself.

One thing i found useful for hex-rays but is when a structure is referenced it will automatically detect (providing it has enough information, form return types ect.) and name it accordingly in the C code.
