WoWLib (Memory Library)

[xwinterx]

Hi,

I am new around here and have decided to move from everyones favorite AutoIt to everones more favorite C#! Yay! I have learned alot, but still have alot more to go. In my learning I have made a tiny dll with some functions for me to include in my projects. I thought I'd share it. It only does a few things right now, but I will add stuff to it as I go. Kinda wanted to get a little feedback from anyone willing to try it.

just unzip the archive and add the WoWLib.dll as a reference. Shouts to Shynd for his BlackMagic which my dll uses for the memory stuff! The WoWLibHelper.dll just exports memory addresses. I split it up so I could just update the helper as addresses change.

Here is a list of the basics and their purpose:

Class: WoWLib
InitLibrary() : Initializes library and BlackMagic to open process for reading/writing to memory

Class: Player
Name() : Returns character name
GUID() : Returns GUID of character
Base() : Returns base of character
X() : Returns X coordinate of character
Y() : Returns Y coordinate of character
Z() : Returns Z coordinate of character
Rot() : Returns rotation of character

Class: Object
ClientConnection() : Returns client connection
Manager() : Returns object manager
First() : Returns first object in object list
Next() : Returns next object in object list in reference to passed object
Type() : Returns integer value of object's type
TypeString() : Returns string representation of object's type
GUID() : Returns GUID of object
Name() : Returns name of object
Yours() : Returns true/false if the object was created by you

Class: Mouse
SetInteract() : Sets MouseOverInteract (writes to memory)

Class: Bobber
Bite() : Returns true/false if the bobber has been bitten

so as you can see, not much there, but enough for me to work on converting CyberFish into C#. Virus scan link below. thanks!

Looks safe, and it looks like it could speed a few things up.

Why not make it at least somewhat OOP? If you're using C#, you're going to need the concept, so I would change things like GetX(), GetY()... to GetLocation() and return a reference to a structure. Look at the marshal class on msdn, it'll help a lot Just an idea for your next steps. Add a class to the DLL to contain all of these functions.

[xwinterx]

thanks. yeah, I was looking at structs but wanted to get things working first so I had the basic concepts down.

[lanman92]

Just tryin to give you some ideas. It is a C# dll, right?

[vulcanaoc]

Better yet, replace GetANYTHING with an ANYTHING property.

Properties are built into the language for a reason. They are prettier, less verbose, blah, blah.

[vulcanaoc]

Also, throw things into classes.

PlayerGetZ(): returns your characters z location
PlayerGetRot(): returns your characters rotation
ObjectGetFirst(): gets first object in the objectmgr
ObjectGetNext(): gets next object in the objectmgr

Change to

Player.Z
Player.Rot
Object.First
Object.Next

That sort of thing.

[lanman92]

Didn't I just say that...?

[xwinterx]

yeah, it's C#. thanks for the suggestions! I thought about using structs for like the positions but never thought about using an actual class for those things. Very cool. Can't wait for the holidays to be done so I can work on some more stuffs. Actually, I can. lots of family coming in this year.

Happy holidays everyone!

Happy Christmas, Agios Satanas.

also i hope you didnt mind we did a check inside the dll, but it looks nice i hope to use it in my test hack later.

[xwinterx]

not at all. only reason I am not posting source code right now is that I still have a long way to go, I am still learning C#, and I am still developing my coding "skills" so it isnt all spaghetti. :-)

[snigelmannen]

Well i am doing the same, that's why i took a look inside the dll, and also to make sure there wasn't anything fishy inside.

Just used your library and it works very nice, I'm trying to learn memory reading atm and was wondering if it would be possible to get hold of your source code?

Either way gj!

[xwinterx]

I plan on releasing source once it looks prettier and is more complete. Cuz right now I have no error handling whatsoever. I should have a new version of the lib posted this weekend. I am taking suggestions from here and applying them then applying the lib to my fishing program as I convert it to C#.
