Player Name from Guid

[jmac321]

I am working on a bot for an emu server, so my offsets are from patch 4.0.6 - 13623

here are the NameOffsets

 public enum NameOffsets : ulong
    {
        ObjectName1 = 0x1CC,
        ObjectName2 = 0xB4,
        UnitName1 = 0xA24,
        UnitName2 = 0x60,
        nameStore = 0x89ACC0 + 0x8,
        nameMask = 0x24,
        nameBase = 0x1C,
        nameString = 0x20
    }

which I am pretty sure are correct, because I can grab NPC name from Guid with no problem


Can anyone tell me why this next function fails at "Exception3"
specifically this read fails "testGUID = wow.ReadUInt((uint)current);"

public string PlayerNameFromGuid(ulong Guid)
        {
            ulong mask, base_, offset, current, shortGUID, testGUID;
            try
            {
                mask = wow.ReadUInt(WoWBase = (uint)NameOffsets.nameStore + (uint)NameOffsets.nameMask);
            }
            catch (Exception)
            {
                return "Exception1";
            }

            base_ = wow.ReadUInt(WoWBase + (uint)NameOffsets.nameStore + (uint)NameOffsets.nameBase);

            shortGUID = Guid & 0xFFFFFFFF;
            offset = 12 * (mask & shortGUID);

            try
            {
                current = wow.ReadUInt((uint)base_ + (uint)offset + 8);
            }
            catch (Exception)
            {
                return "Exception2";
            }

            offset = wow.ReadUInt((uint)base_ + (uint)offset);

            if ((current & 0x1) == 0x1) { return ""; }

            try
            {
                testGUID = wow.ReadUInt((uint)current);
            }
            catch (Exception)
            {
                return "Exception3";
            }

            while (testGUID != shortGUID)
            {
                current = wow.ReadUInt((uint)current + (uint)offset + 4);

                if ((current & 0x1) == 0x1) { return ""; }
                try
                {
                    testGUID = wow.ReadUInt((uint)current);
                }
                catch (Exception)
                {
                    return "Exception4";
                }
            }
            return wow.ReadASCIIString((uint)current + (uint)NameOffsets.nameString, 30);
        }//end PlayerNameFromGuid

anyone? this is pretty much copied from Twarwizard's project at http://www.ownedcore.com/forums/worl...int-newbs.html ([Guides] Starting point for newbs) and the rest of his code is working fine.

I've learned a lot the past couple days, but player name is confusing!

ughh im a ****ing noob

mask = wow.ReadUInt(WoWBase = (uint)NameOffsets.nameStore + (uint)NameOffsets.nameMask);

should be

mask = wow.ReadUInt(WoWBase + (uint)NameOffsets.nameStore + (uint)NameOffsets.nameMask);

sometimes you just gotta take a break
