memory reading

[sylar]

ive been trying to make program to read the memory of world of warcraft and display the hp

so after looking around for awhile i decided to give it a go its been a few days now and i cant

seem to get any of my programs to read the memory of minesweeper or world of warcraft im sure i have the

right address but it wont read and display the value

#include <NomadMemory.au3>
$Mem_Address = 0x0100579C
$Process1 = WinGetProcess("winmine.exe")
while 1
$mem_open = _MemoryOpen($process1)
$mem_read = _MemoryRead($Mem_Address, $mem_open)
     tooltip($mem_read,100,100,"time")
    _memoryclose($mem_open)
wend

what am i doing wrong

look at that one also made with NomadMemory. Uses the same adress as you do, but check out if you use the same version.

that works with my version of minesweeper after looking over it for abit i still cant work out why my script shouldnt work

[sylar]

well its only a guess it doesnt work its only returning 0 when the values changed

[sylar]

bump

Are you using Vista and forgetting to run this as administrator?

[sylar]

no im useing windows xp and im runing as admin

[sylar]

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=100794 this one works for me just fine and we are useing the same address for time so why wont mine read it and display it?

[jvanegmond]

After reviewing the differences in code line by line I found this:

#include <NomadMemory.au3>
$Mem_Address = 0x0100579C
$Process1 = WinGetProcess("winmine.exe") ;<== WinGetProcess is not used like this. It should be ProcessExists!!
while 1
$mem_open = _MemoryOpen($process1)
$mem_read = _MemoryRead($Mem_Address, $mem_open)
     tooltip($mem_read,100,100,"time")
    _memoryclose($mem_open)
wend

the mistake is.. WinGetProcess()

if you look it up in the helpfile it needs a windowtitle, not the executable name. Use ProcessExists("winmine.exe") if you want it to work for everyone.

[sylar]

#include <NomadMemory.au3>
$Mem_Address = 0x0100579C
$Process1 = ProcessExists("winmine.exe")
while 1
$mem_open = _MemoryOpen($process1)
$mem_read = _MemoryRead($Mem_Address, $mem_open)
     tooltip($mem_read,100,100,"time")
    _memoryclose($mem_open)
wend

there fixed its working now thank you manadar now for my next trick makeing it send keys in world of warcraft

[jvanegmond]

Good luck, be careful of Warden.

[sylar]

that wont be a problem for now useing it on private servers for the moment and i think just useing memory read shouldnt be a problem with warden?

[jvanegmond]

No idea. : )

[sylar]

#include <NomadMemory.au3>
$Mem_Address = 0x0100579C
$Process1 = ProcessExists("winmine.exe")
while 1
$mem_open = _MemoryOpen($process1)
$mem_read = _MemoryRead($Mem_Address, $mem_open)
     tooltip($mem_read,100,100,"time")
    _memoryclose($mem_open)
wend

since i want it to constantly search and show me the value of $mem_read should i still have _memoryclose?

my cpu is going threw the roof

[jvanegmond]

Probably this:

#include <NomadMemory.au3>
$Mem_Address = 0x0100579C
$Process1 = ProcessExists("winmine.exe")
$mem_open = _MemoryOpen($process1)
while 1
     $mem_read = _MemoryRead($Mem_Address, $mem_open)
     tooltip($mem_read,100,100,"time")
     Sleep(50)
wend
_memoryclose($mem_open)

You need a little sleep in there or its going to read the memory as often as possible, consuming maximum CPU.

[sylar]

but when i close the script it will still close the memory or is that not important if its stoped running?

[jvanegmond]

The script posted here: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=100794 does not close the memory at all. I don't think it's such a big deal.

Edit: Of course you should always try to close anything that wants to be closed, even if its not something that has to be closed. Just putting it in your script as a sign of "good will" (I'll do it later) is usually enough.

For prototyping it is not important that everything is perfect. If it goes wrong and the process is corrupted, you can always reboot the program or reboot your computer.

just tryed it with world of warcraft didnt work looks like ill have to try some thing else

[sylar]

and what if your going to open and read alot of memory should you put the close memory after it each time?
