> I would like to read another processes memory
Are you writing a debugger or a password sniffer?

Neither... A very smart macro... That points to memory addresses inside a game and reads the value. See, in this game walking cordinates are saved inside a memory address as possitive integers. So based on what my program will read will determin how my program reacts by moving either one step forward or logs out.

The only reason why im doing this is because the game has caused my wrist to hurt.. So i figure why not use brain power to create a program that will do it for me.


any help please?! =)

So referring to previous questions like what OS/Compiler, what other details can you share with the rest of us?

You seem to know a lot about the insides of this game - did you write it?

Another idea would be to stop playing the game for a while - radical I know, but there it is.

XP/Borland C++ Compiler 5.5

Just need something like


Read Memory address(From other process)
save memory address
store memory address as a variable
and then do this following code basicly

Code:

int main()
{

int x,memoryadress,y=1;

for(x=1;x<=25;x++)
{
    do
    {
          if(memoryaddress==1)
         {
             do the following;
           }
          else
          {
              ++y;
          }     
     }while(y<=5)
}
}

List of things wrong here
1. You can't just point at another process and examine it's memory (this isn't DOS). You could use this windows API call as the basis of further work, but it's bound to be pretty involved and messy.
For example, maybe the game enumerates its threads and decides that it's being hacked if it suddenly spots another thread.

2. Simply incrementing the variable 25 times will not result in a smooth walk. While you're doing this, the game isn't running, so when it does eventually run again, it's gonna look like hyperspace.

3. The values you seek are not likely to be in the same memory location from one run of the game to the next. The player character object is just as likely to be created dynamically as any other object.

You're better off just finding the window handle of the game and sending it a bunch of key presses (as a macro) than messing around with it's innards like this.

1) I will try this... but i've never heard of this before and have no experience working with API's

2)Could'nt I have a timer or something to prevent that from happening...


3) yes, the address does change, but that can quickly be fixed by changing a few lines of code every time a run it.

comment) I can't accept a macro program... It's flawed and imperfect... It cant think for its self...

example where the program has to think: If the memory address value doesnt change in 5 trys, since the memory address im poking is a cord, then assume that someone is blocking your path, therfore quit out of the game or have your chacter say, "I'm sorry, but I have to go afk... ByeBye"


Thanks for your brain
