C++ Read creature name from ID

[Arkamek]

Hello i have small problem, because i don't know how to read any info about player from ID.
i define creature id by:

#define CONTEXT_MENU_CREATUREID 	0x792E54;

for example i have variable pid with creatureid:

DWORD* pid = (DWORD*)CONTEXT_MENU_CREATUREID;

but how can i read creature name from this?


// Tibia 8.54
Thanks

You need add offset for name
probably

CONTEXT_MENU_CREATUREID + 0x4

Don't work ;/

Shouldn't 0x4 be 0x04 ? wouldn't it count it as 0x40 otherwise?

Nope. 0x simply says that the following number is hexidecimal. The leading 0 is typically added for situations where you have addresses of varying lengths, to make code look pretty, e.g:

Address1 = 0x0005
Address2 = 0x1234

Looks nicer than

Address1 = 0x5
Address2 = 0x1234

Regarding reading creature name using CID, this is how it's done in the battle list, displayed in some sort of C# pseudocode mashup:

int playerCID = GetCID();
int myCreatureIndex = 0;

for (int i = 0; i < battleListMax; i++)
{
    int currentCID = ReadInt(battleListStart + battleListStep * i);
    if (currentCID == playerCID)
    {
        myCreatureIndex = i;
        break;
    }
}

// Do whatever here, e.g:
string playerName = ReadString(battleListStart + battleListStep * i + 0x4);

It now strikes me that you're using an injected dll, so you'll need to replace all calls to ReadInt etc to casting.... That shit is too confusing for me at this time of night, but basically you just need to do what you have already, but casting to type of wchar_t * as opposed to DWORD *, or whatever char array you'll be using (I can't remember).

for (int i = 0; i++; i < battleListMax)

This will cause infinite loop.

This will cause infinite loop.

Ooooooops.

ok thanks, i will check in night and msg if it working

void gadaj()
{
/*
This i have defined in external file
#define SELF_EXPERIENCE 0x635F04
#define SELFID (SELF_EXPERIENCE + 12)
*/

int playerCID = SELFID;
int myCreatureIndex = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < MaxCreatures; i++)
{
    int currentCID = ReadMemoryInt(FindWindow("ARKAMECZEK ", NULL),(BattlelistBegin + BattlelistStep * i),sizeof(int32_t));
    if (currentCID == playerCID)
    {
        myCreatureIndex = i;

        break;
    }
}
char value[32];
 ReadMemoryChars(FindWindow("ARKAMECZEK ", NULL),(BattlelistBegin + BattlelistStep * myCreatureIndex + 0x4),value,32);
string str = string(value);
    	Say(0x01, const_cast<char*>(str.c_str()));
}

+ reading functions:

inline int ReadMemoryInt(HWND h, int address, int size)
{
	int ret = 0;
	ReadProcessMemory(h, (LPVOID)address, &ret, size, 0);
	return ret;
}

inline void ReadMemoryChars(HWND h, int address, char* ret, int size)
{
    ReadProcessMemory(h, (LPVOID)address, &ret, size, 0);
}

resolut of this code is randomly:

21:45 Arkam: í
 21:47 Arkam: 
 21:47 Arkam:

/\ Arkam is name ingame, i testing it on ContextMenu then resolut is empty []

FindWindow("ARKAMECZEK ", NULL)

Is the clients class name ARKAMECZEK?
