Reading object and character names

[Hrap]

Greetings , finally I figured out the object manager in WOTLKC , Many thanks to Razzue for the help, I learned a lot of useful things from his posts and topics

But I'm stuck with reading the Game Object and Local Player names


For GameObject, I first read int Name1 = 0x148

DWORD_PTR nameptr = RemouteMemory->Read<DWORD_PTR>(entry+0x148);

I then read the line from Name2 = 0xE0;

char name[128];
name = RemoteMemory->ReadCStr>(nameptr+0xE0 );

Or

string name = RemoteMemory->ReadCStr>(nameptr+0xE0);

the result is always the same,
i get the same character set for all objects

Maybe I'm wrong somewhere
how to do it right?

and can you show how you read the name of a local player from the name base, I could not find an example here on the forum how others do it?

But I'm stuck with reading the Game Object and Local Player names




For GameObject, I first read int Name1 = 0x148

DWORD_PTR nameptr = RemouteMemory->Read<DWORD_PTR>(entry+0x14;

I then read the line from Name2 = 0xE0;

charname[128];
name = RemoteMemory->ReadCStr>(nameptr+0xE0 );

but i get the same character set for all objects

var ptr = Memory.Read<IntPtr>(BaseAddress, new[] { 0x148, 0xE0 }); // [[Object address + 0x148] + 0xE0]
var _Name = IntPtr.Zero != ptr ? Memory.ReadString(ptr) : string.Empty;

My "Read string" call (it's gross i know, don't judge)

public static string ReadString(IntPtr address, Encoding encoding = null, int size = 255){
    fixed (byte* bytes = new byte[size])
    {
        var status = mem.rvm(_ProcessHandle, address, (IntPtr)bytes, (IntPtr)size, default);
        if (!mem.NtSuccess(status)) return string.Empty;


        var name = encoding?.EncodingName ?? string.Empty;
        if (name.Contains("ASCII"))
            return CutString(Encoding.ASCII.GetString(bytes, size));


        if (name.Contains("(UTF-8)"))
            return CutString(Encoding.UTF8.GetString(bytes, size));


        if (name.Contains("(UTF-7)"))
            return CutString(Encoding.UTF7.GetString(bytes, size));


        return Marshal.PtrToStringAnsi((IntPtr)bytes);
    }
}

For local player name i believe i shared the offsets in my posts?
Memory.ReadString(GameAddress + 0x2F72CE8);

Thank you so much, I understand everything, read the address from the object base + the first offset, then read the address from the result + the second offset, and then read the name string

I thought with the name of the player it would be much more difficult))
For example, in 3.3.5 there was a strange complex function that I couldn’t understand, I just copied it somewhere from the source))

Once again, many thanks for your help.

Correct. You can find the players realm name around the same area as player name iirc.

Other player names you'll need to read the player name cache, then fetch player name by their guid (likely a better function if internal) from that cache, you can get the local player name that way as well.

Thanks, I will try

Another question, where can I read whether the player is on the mount or not?
I think it's worth reading some byte
either from mowement?

Look for the post where I shared the fields
<Int>(Player base+Fields.Unit.MountID) != 0

Though that doesn't account for shapeshift (druid) forms.

I believe you can also look for transport guid? (Not sure if that's for mounts as well)

[Hrap]

Thank you very much, you are super!!!

perhaps reading your posts did not pay attention to this offset, as I was looking for another

I will try to be more careful

It turned out so to read the names of the GameObject

DWORD_PTR namePtr = RemouteMemory->Read<DWORD_PTR>(entry + 0x148);
DWORD_PTR namePtr2 = RemouteMemory->Read<DWORD_PTR>(namePtr + 0xE0);
if (namePtr2 != 0){
std::cout << encode((char*)RemouteMemory->ReadBytes(namePtr2, 32),32)<<std::endl;
}

However, for some objects namePtr2 address is null
is that how it should be?
Аnd when you try to read, an access error is naturally issued
So I added an exception to not read null addresses

But is it ok?

just call a vtable function on any object and it returns the string directly.

[Hrap]

How to call her?

[ermite66]

Hrap , how u iterate OM ?
PS i think he doing its internal , inject dll ...

That would require me to be internal no? Everything I do is done externally ATM 🤔

I'm reading memory from an external application, I'm not injecting anything

The order is as follows:
get privileges for my application;
looking for a game process by its name;
Then read whatever you need;

I also share how to get unit name. Tried to find this for the past two days
[[GameObject + 0x380] + 0xF8] => Unit Name

Almost like you could have just read my field offsets from here..... https://www.ownedcore.com/forums/wor...d-45327-a.html (Classic Wrath => Build 45327) Post #7
