memory reading

[sylar]

oh great the address in world of warcraft changes every time guess ill have to learn how to use pointers

[jvanegmond]

sylar, this forum is not intended for blogging. You should keep this to asking a question and receiving replies.

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

I'm not sure. Look through other code examples (there are plenty!! I've answered all of your questions by looking through other peoples code!).

It's still not important for prototyping. (Unless it crashes for this reason)

ok i got a question why doesnt any one makeing guides for autoit3 memory reading?

[jvanegmond]

Because guides take longer to write than well documented example code. Well documented example code is usually more appreciated by other programmers.

[sylar]

yer but i cant find any good memory reading example scripts that are helpfull

[jvanegmond]

That is to blame to your lack of search skills, and not the lack of any example script authors. Just to state my case, there are over 7000 example scripts posted.

There is even someone who uses AutoIt to write World of Warcraft bots and releases them to public. This is malu05 and he's done so much with WoW.

Here is his WoW memory reading bot:

So who said "there is nothing helpul : (" again?

[sylar]

i searched for 3 days and yes i saw what malu05 has done on his youtube channel and im reading that thread atm

[jvanegmond]

Your search skills need more practice, young padawan. Patience, you must have.

[sylar]

thank you master another question if you can edit memory and create memory reading bots with autoit does that mean it would be possible to make one of those uber tricky memory hacks with aimbots norecoils etc

[jvanegmond]

Sure. You need to be really good at it, but yes.

Edit: Sometimes you will want to inject your own code into the program. There is no way you can inject AutoIt code into a game. So you might need to learn another language if you want to inject code. But that will come to you in time.

You can use AutoIt to inject code.

i tryed to see if any one had made any but all i could find was some ones proof of concept pixel aim aimbot

[sylar]

you us autoitX to make autoit dlls ?

[jvanegmond]

i tryed to see if any one had made any but all i could find was some ones proof of concept pixel aim aimbot

Edit: That's not really a aimbot, norecoil thing but it's the technique used to create those.

yer i understand but will this be as effective as if it was done in c++?

[jvanegmond]

That's a though question to give a simple answer to.. It always comes down to programmer's choice.

There are always a number of things to keep in mind when choosing a language:

- Can the language do everything I want it to do?

- Is the language fast enough to do my task in the time I want it done?

- How proficient am I in this language?

The list goes on and on.

Ultimately, C++ is always going to be faster than AutoIt. But the development time might be a lot higher, especially if you still have to learn C++ to begin with.

AutoIt is a great language, don't get me wrong, but it isn't the end-all programming language. : )

does autoit have limits or can it do every thing c++ should be able to do

Edited August 31, 2009 by sylar

[jvanegmond]

AutoIt has limits, just like C++ does have limits. They are just different.

Although, AutoIt is written in C++ so you should be able to do everything AutoIt does in C++. It just depends whether you think it's worth the trouble.

AutoIt really is a great tool to get started in bot development. Especially with a community so knowledgeable.

In the case of warden, I'd suggest just doing a pixel scan, though to the extent of my knowledge that cannot be done in background...

Hi from a newbe to Autoit...

Sorry if pirate/steal the the topic of this post with my question but since its related I'd figured no harm:

I'm wondering how do one find the memory address of a specific item one is interested in? For example, in sylar's code he used the memory address "$Mem_Address = 0x0100579C" to get the timer info of the minesweeper prog. But how do one find such information? I can understand how one can find such information if the data-item are static and you can change the value of that item at will to do a comparison of the values. But something volatile like this clock changes values every second.

Can anyone share with me the technique/tactic/theory of finding such memory addresses.

Regards,

Lexart.

You're supposed to use Cheat Engine or a debugger to find the interesting value. If it isn't static, then you need to find a static pointer to that value. Or a pointer to the memory range where the value is in, then you can add the offset to get to the value.
