Getting Active Buffs with ID and Spell Name

[draco1219]

Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone would be able to point me in the right direction. I did a search and didn't come up with anything recent regarding listing buffs of the active player.

Can anyone provide any code snippets or posts which talk about getting a collection of buffs on a player? Preferably by ID, and possibly a way to get the equivalent Spell name from that ID?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Matt

Here you go.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

Thanks again for your help. I was able to pull the spell ID.

Is there some way to get a spell name for a spell ID? I searched and everything I found was for WoW 3.x. Is the concept the same?

Thanks!

read it out of the spell.dbc

Thank you very much for the snippet.

I did some searching about the Spells.dbc and all I came up with was information about private servers. Is there some kind of DBF/DBC file locally in my WoW folder which has this information?

Isn't there some place in memory which stores a spell name for a given spell ID?

Thanks again guys

Search for DBC extractor or MPQ Editor, and yes it's the same file that private servers use, as they're extracted from the client.

Thanks again I was able to extract it and view it. Is there a way to read the spell name from memory instead of using Spell.dbc? It seems like there should be some way without calling a function.

Does anyone know?

Thanks!

Did I ever ask for code? No. All I was asking for if it were possible. I can do it from the Spell.dbc thanks to the helpful people above, but I rather not have to dump out all of the Spell IDs/Spell Names to a XML file and use in my bot, I was just wondering if it were possible to read it directly from memory.

Read Spell.Dbc 1 times in the early loading of your program and get a local database in a convenient format for you and then just pulled out of it - you do not need to pull these names out of the WOW - it is much longer

In general on this forum, most programmers who are extremely reluctant to share information, possibly due to the commercial use of their Вот- they do not want to share secrets, as may be afraid of competition

[_Mike]

It has nothing to do with "secrets" or competition*, but the fact that almost every topic/request here is one of
a) Something that has been asked and answered a lot of times before.
b) Something that should be common sense, ie. if you can't figure it out yourself this place isn't for you.


*) At least not for me, can't speak for everyone else here.

[GameAssist]

a) Something that has been asked and answered a lot of times before.

I am the third day trying to figure out at least some information on Item.name, as a result, instead, to publish three lines of code with a ready solution has already started the personal attacks and insults, and the most thorough search of this forum has given nothing - no information.

this only confirms my assertion

[_Mike]

Oh please, the answer was already posted in the item name thread you replied to. You just chose to ignore it. See my point a.

The Get Name VMT should work fine for Item name, i used it few month ago.

                uint VMT52 = BM.ReadUInt((.BM.ReadUInt(objBaseAddress) + (52 * 4)));
                BM.Asm.Clear();
                BM.Asm.AddLine("mov ecx, " + objBaseAddress);
                BM.Asm.AddLine("mov eax, " + VMT52);
                BM.Asm.AddLine("call eax");
                BM.Asm.AddLine("retn");

But from your post

Somebody can show the actual working code definitions Item.Name without the use Lua? It is even possible?

If you think that is lua code then you have some serious issues.

As for point b, if you can't figure out how to use the above mentioned code (or adapt it to your liking) then you're not going to get any help here. Why should we help you if you can't even take the time to learn really basic things?
