Getting Draw-Function from Engine

[kingdeking]

Hello guys,

im trying to find the draw-function that is used to draw chat text, server announcesments on your screen. I have no real clue where to start off to find it. I mean i have olly debug set up and attached but i dont really know how to find the function within wow.exe. Does anyone have a tip, maybe with a breakpoint or smth? thanks.

If you just want to add new messages to your chat window - call ChatFrame::AddMessage
You'll find the function address in the info dump thread.

nope, i want to kinda use the function that will put text all over your screen, when e.g. there is a server announcement and use it to do my own announcements.

1) inject dll and get the d3d9 device
2) hook endscene and draw text with the device
3) ????
4) profit

I dont wanna do it that way ;p I want to hook the engine function that does that. Just more leeb and takes more skill.

Hooking the function would only draw your text when WoW calls that function... This is just a dumb idea. Use the DirectX device and the D3DX library to draw your text.

LOL! So you think it's "more leeb", yet you're coming to us to find the function for you? Yeah dude, that's real "leeb" and takes heaps of skill.

Dumbass.

P.S. Lanman is right. You want to CALL that function, not hook it. Sigh...
