Memory hack

[DracoL1ch]

7 symbols limit kinda too low for full kda which is 2+1+2+1+2

 

[Kakerate]

How did you colorize the gold text with 7 char limit?

 

[DracoL1ch]

there's separate color value for every frame
WMem(frame+0x68,0xFF0000FF)

 

[Kakerate]

Neat. Even with 7 char limit, atleast we can still change color.

Could you post script you used to change it?

 

[DracoL1ch]

ez
WMem(GetFrameTextAddress("ResourceBarGoldText",0)+0x68,0xFF0000FF)
changes take effect on the next redraw (change value of the resource anyhow)

 

[DracoL1ch]

there are also various fields, including offset to draw on. basically you're able to move any frame anywhere, whatever you like.
speaking of changing HUD, minimap is also fully customizable with tons (100+) fields to play with

00/00/00 == 8 symbols damn it!.... or 000000 but it doesn't look good i think.

speaking of changing HUD, minimap is also fully customizable with tons (100+) fields to play with

Then for minimap is GetFrameTextAddress("MinimapFrame or something??? T_T",0)

 

[Trigger.edge]

basically you're able to move any frame anywhere, whatever you like.

So let's say that I want to do this:

 

[DracoL1ch]

no, minimap is completely unique object, so there's different way to achieve it. yes, those can be altered, except from command panel - it has it's own watchers, never ever made anything about icon positioning, but surely it has a storage somewhere too

 

[DracoL1ch]

there's way too many options, even have to align neutral spawn map, fog drawning, etc

 

[Trigger.edge]

You can post code for this?

 

[DracoL1ch]

as i said theres tons of options and most of those need to be manually checked.
set pMinimapData=RMem(GameDLL+0xAB6214)//26
set pMinimapData=RMem(GameDLL+0xBE6DC4)//27

data sheet related:
http://d1stats.ru/files/temp/mmp.CSX
search for "Description" or use CE to look at what kind of data located there yourself

 

[Trigger.edge]

ez
WMem(GetFrameTextAddress("ResourceBarGoldText",0)+0x68,0xFF0000FF)
changes take effect on the next redraw (change value of the resource anyhow)

Sorry but, is possible change colors by separate? like 000000

 

[DracoL1ch]

obviously nope

 

[Trigger.edge]

Well I want to make my own resources but I try to understand about this and I can not, sorry...

You can provide more information about how to use. Some kind of short tutorial or something?, anything is appreciated.

• pDrawTextAtResourcePanel=GameDLL+0x60CA10 I see that you using variables with different addresses for each thing, but the question is: where do you get the initial values, how can be search them directly with my cheat engine?
  
• Functions that change texts: some times WriteNullTerminatedString and others CallThisCallWith2Args... At what point should be used each?
• About DotAAllstarsHelper688c.dll: Can be used publicly or is for private use only?

Well for now that's it. And again thanks for your attention Draco!

 

[Natu]

Hey Draco! Is there a way to bypass the cancel menu when you toggle a spell or an order (while choosing a target). If possible, I want to cast smart order or an instant spell while on that state.

As you can see, the other buttons except cancel are hidden. It sucks.

its hard to explain, ill try later with another article
WriteNullTerminatedString is an alias to automatically insert GetStringAddress() into desired address. Call*callWith*Args is an API to call ingame functions and have nothing to do with strings. Imagine it as calling Func0303 from JASS but from WC3 itself. You need to know which arguments to pass, which kind of function of that (this/fast/cdecl funcs, google whats the diff), and know the address of function you want to call (that's function's name)
it have public available sources but I won't recommend to use it as standalone part - there's way too many functions you probably won't use at all. everything it does can be achieved via jass but Im afraid it won't be that fast at all. think twice before making use of natives it provides.

possilble, but there were some issues I cant remember (been long ago), so we never used it. you may force to display normal panel, but its worthless due to buggy behavior

Okay thanks ^^

I was wondering if can change the position of ResourceBarGold Text into ResourceBarSupply Text and vice versa?... I think this way I could solve the limitation of the 7 characters

 

[DracoL1ch]

sure you can switch them around as you wish
0x48 0x4C marked as x/y offsets in my files, it's a float inebtween 0-1

 

[Trigger.edge]

And the magic line is...

call WriteMemory(GetFrameTextAddress("ResourceBarUpkeepText",0)+0x48,???)

 

[DracoL1ch]

??? == SetRealIntoMemor(your float)

 

[Trigger.edge]

call WriteMemory(GetFrameTextAddress("ResourceBarUpkeepText",0)+0x4C,SetRealIntoMemory(-.555)) Is correct?

 

[doom_sheep]

then, you can use these to write all over the screen?

 

[Trigger.edge]

then, you can use these to write all over the screen?

Yes:

globals
//26
set pDrawTextAtResourcePanel=GameDLL+0x60CA10

//27
set pDrawTextAtResourcePanel=GameDLL+0x0C1020
endglobals

function DrawTextAtResourcePanel takes integer panelAddress, string s returns nothing
    local integer a=GetStringAddress(s)
    if a>0 and panelAddress>0 then
        call CallThisCallWith2Args(pDrawTextAtResourcePanel,panelAddress,a)
    endif
endfunction

//where panelAddress can be anything, but you gonna use
    local integer panelAddress=GetFrameTextAddress("ResourceBarGoldText",0)
    set panelAddress=GetFrameTextAddress("ResourceBarLumberText",0)
    set panelAddress=GetFrameTextAddress("ResourceBarUpkeepText",0)
    set panelAddress=GetFrameTextAddress("ResourceBarSupplyText",0)

 

[DracoL1ch]

I was wrong, smh

offsets seems to be related to default position and measured idk, maybe %%
actually it doesnt really chage frame's position but have something to do with other stuff. for now I can't say what exactly but I just broke my wc3, making it think like my window is about half of the screen, and it didnt allow me to move mouse off. I changed different fields to achieve that, although changing mentioned offsets didn't help at all and gold's frame stood still all along. So it have to be reversed, and Im out of time

 

[Retera]

Could I use these memory hacks to replace the Console UI textures on the screen?

For example, let's say I had the Night Elf UI textures on my screen like in the screenshot in the previous post.
Then, the player pushes ESC or some other trigger event, and then the Console UI becomes the Human UI textures instead.

I'm currently participating in the Advanced Techtree Contest and was interested in making a race that could do one of multiple one-way upgrades which would permanently change the race, and hopefully the Console UI colors, to add a specific flavor to the race design.

 

[Trigger.edge]

Could I use these memory hacks to replace the Console UI textures on the screen?

Yes you can

As you can read in the conversations above, you can change everything in HUD.

except command panel

Take your time man

 

[DracoL1ch]

in case if you'll find where's toggle to re-cache textures. as soon as any file is loaded it moved to the cache and retrieved from there later, it's imposible to replace it anymore. we didn't succeed with this idea, so swapping hud isn't option yet

 

[Retera]

Maybe we could look for what happens when you go to Cinematic Mode and come back from it, since it changes the Console UI Hud on and off.

I'm in class but I might have time to check it out later this evening.

 

[Kakerate]

This. Cinematic Mode also causes problems with Modified Resource Strings, setting their color to black.

 

[Retera]

So I went ahead and read through this whole thread finally. Sounds like memory writing is disabled in 1.27b so I probably can't use it in the contest. It's still an interesting thought, though, to have in case somebody re-discovered some obscure nonsensical new way to perform memory writing later on.

But, then hopefully it would be patched, too. Don't really want viruses on battle.net!

 

[DracoL1ch]

you have much higher chance to get virused visiting hive, than bnet. you know, wc3 isnt that big for hackers

 

[Kakerate]

Isn't Preload exploit still a thing, too? Not enabling viruses, just crashing your PC. Pretty much as bad xD

Hi Draco ^^. How are you going with this?

 

[DracoL1ch]

nohow, no time for researches. just released new version last day.
this feature seems to be harder, as it defined at loading, means tests takes 4x more time to catch things

In your thread mh API description you mention that those functions require the external dll, so I assume they do not work without the dotadllhelper?

Then how can I activate the MP bars on units?

 

[DracoL1ch]

doubt you can. they're stolen from maphack, pure ASM code

for those who want to use latest dota dll (version 88g+) but only need few features of it - you can disable unneeded

 

[Trigger.edge]

This dll is very useful

DotaCustomFrames functions, they look intriguing.

 

[Trigger.edge]

These functions look to be useful for moving frames, or am I wrong?

void ShowFrameWithPos( int FrameAddr, float left, float bottom, BOOL unk = TRUE )
void ShowFrameItemWithPos( int FrameAddr, float left, float bottom, BOOL unk = TRUE )
void ShowFrameWithPosAligned( int FrameAddr, float left, float bottom, int align, BOOL unk = TRUE )void ShowFrameWithPosAlternativeAligned( int FrameAddr, float left, float bottom, int alignFirst, int alignTwo, BOOL unk = TRUE )
void ShowFrameWithPosAlternative( int FrameAddr, float left, float bottom )

 

[karaulov]

I use it for create custom frames, but it not completed. Works example : Glyph button.

 

[Kakerate]

The color change applied to resources gets messed up after Cinematics. Any word on a workaround yet?

 

[DracoL1ch]

re-apply? cinematics arent like thing you can't detect, and resource coloring pretty much static most of the time

 

[Trigger.edge]

Works example : Glyph button.

How to put it in operation?
