Can't read memory using autoit

[Clee12]

I have been asking for help on another topic but I'm almost certain the problem wasn't being caused by NomadMemory.au3 as I first suspected. On that note I decided to open a topic for this specific problem.

I'm trying to read WoW memory and I'm obviously having trouble(Always displays 00000 ). I can read memory from any other application other than WoW. I was wondering if anyone here has used autoit to read WoW memory and how they went about it. Anything would be helpful. Thanks a lot.

Here is one of the many scripts I've been trying to use + a lot of unneeded includes --

CODE

#include <EditConstants.au3>

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

#include <EditConstants.au3>

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

#include <TabConstants.au3>

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

#include <NomadMemory.au3>

#include <string.au3>

SETPRIVILEGE("SeDebugPrivilege", 1)

Dim $ProPID = WinGetProcess("Wow.exe")

Global $HPROCESS = _MemoryOpen($ProPID)

$HPROCESS = _MemoryOpen($ProPID)

$Health = _MemoryRead(0x012EB558,$HPROCESS)

If $Health = 0 Then

MsgBox(1,"No!","Value not found")

Else

MsgBox(1,"Yes!",$Health)

EndIf

Check the @error (if any) after MemoryRead

; @Error - 0 = No error.

; 1 = Invalid $ah_Handle.

; 2 = $sv_Type was not a string.

; 3 = $sv_Type is an unknown data type.

; 4 = Failed to allocate the memory needed for the DllStructure.

; 5 = Error allocating memory for $sv_Type.

; 6 = Failed to read from the specified process.

I suggest

MsgBox(1,"No!","Value not found, error code is : " & @error)

@error = 1

So as you said - Invalid $ah_Handle. How would I go about trouble shooting this? Thanks.

Why do you have 2 _MemoryOpen ?

Use only one and check/show its return and @error , if any. In fact, I'd get rid of that Dim and Global crap

Haven't coded in a while and I'm not positive I know what you're asking me to do but here is the code I just ran.

#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <TabConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <NomadMemory.au3>
#include <string.au3>
SETPRIVILEGE("SeDebugPrivilege", 1)
 $ProPID = WinGetProcess("Wow.exe")
 $HPROCESS = _MemoryOpen($ProPID)
 $Health = _MemoryRead(0x012EB558,$HPROCESS)
If @error Then
    MsgBox(4096,"Error", @error)
Else
    MsgBox(4096, "Result", $Health)
EndIf

Results was - @error = 1, $Health = 0.

Is this what you were asking?

[Inverted]

#include <NomadMemory.au3>

SETPRIVILEGE("SeDebugPrivilege", 1)
$ProPID = ProcessExists ("wow.exe")
$HPROCESS = _MemoryOpen($ProPID)
If @error <>0 Then
    MsgBox (0, "Error", "An error occured opening or finding the process, code : " & @error)
    Exit
EndIf

$Health = _MemoryRead(0x012EB558,$HPROCESS)
If @error Then
    MsgBox(4096,"Error", @error)
Else
    MsgBox(4096, "Result", $Health)
EndIf

WinGetProcess was the wrong funciton to use, you never got the right pid. Check mine, tell me what happens.

Oh ok thank you. However I just tried it and got result = 0. So no error was reported but it isn't seeing any values damn it.

[Inverted]

Can you backup your NomadMemory.au3 and use my own ? I've made sure that if ReadProcessMemory fails, then @error is set (to 6)

Then can you confirm that :

using correct memory addresses in normal apps = returns correct reads with no @error

using wrong memory addresses in normal apps = returns 0 with @error

using correct memory addresses in Wow = returns 0 with @error

NomadMemory.au3

Brilliant! So replaced my Nomad with yours and got @error = 6. Interesting so ReadProcessMemory is the problem?

[Inverted]

So, we have confirmed that there is something different about WoW that makes ReadProcessMemory fail (at least on your PC), since it works for other proggies, right ?

Also, we got rid of the @error bug, I was gettring tired of the damn 0 return + 0 @error.

But now, what ? I'm not gonna download WoW to test myself, hehe. Is anyone else reading that has WoW installed ?

What OS are you using btw ?

Yeah it works fine with all other programs. I'm running XP with SP2. What is weird is that I have ran an autoit based program that reads WoW's memory. I tried to modify some other users scripts to display some of my addresses but nothing seems to work. There is no .dll or system based dependencies? I also tried this on my laptop running vista yesterday and had the exact same problem. Frustrating knowing that people know a way around this problem but won't look at this post. My guess is its something rather simple and I'm going to cause harm to myself after realizing just how easy it really is. Thanks for your help though.

Let me know what happens?

Sorry for refreshing 12 years ago thread but I have that same propblem and can't solve it autoit does not return correct value, @error = 6 like Clee12 say... Help please

[Melba23]

Seventis,

Are you also trying to read WoW memory?

M23

P.S. And just to be absolutely clear - this is the Mod team determining the legality of the thread, so everyone else please keep out.

[Seventis]

No from other game but everything looks the same as in this case
