i found the memory address for the chat string for the game i play. maybe we could use this thread to help me be able to dump all the text into a simple command prompt using this memory address using visuall c++.

thank you :)

Which version of C++ are you using?

I'm not sure how you would specify what memory to use and then what type to cast it to. This sounds a bit complex and I can't find anything on google.

i found this in a forum, and it read "here are the complete and working functions for reading and writing to a program from your C++ app."

it means absolutley nothing to me, but i believe it is what i want and it is designed for the game i want too

//###################### READBYTES 
void ReadBytes(DWORD lpBaseAddress, void *lpBuffer, int nSize) 
{ 
   HWND hwnd = FindWindow(NULL,"Delta Force,  V1.5.0.5"); 
   DWORD proc_id; 
   GetWindowThreadProcessId(hwnd, &proc_id); 
   HANDLE hProcess = OpenProcess(PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS, FALSE, proc_id); 
   if (hProcess != 0) 
   { 
      ReadProcessMemory(hProcess, (void *) lpBaseAddress, lpBuffer, nSize, NULL); 
   } 
   CloseHandle(hProcess); 
} 

However, i have no idea how or where to specify the particular memory address i have

What's a memory address?

[John]

its a unique identifier in the memory that can be called upon later

in my case each time someone types something in a chat it is stored in the computers memory, the memory address is therefore the "variable" so-to-speak that corasponds to the chat strings that are stored in the memory

my problem is trying to call the memory address from a 3rd party program

So you are trying to access the memory location that is holding that string?

[WingedPanther]

A memory address is a way of accessing a particular location in memory. It is stored in a pointer. The idea is that your computer's memory is vast, and you have to be able to access the particular location where something is stored, so you get the "address" of that particular spot. So if you have 1 Gig of RAM, you have to find the particular 20 or 100 bytes that holds the string, you need its address.

   DWORD proc_id;

   HANDLE hProcess = OpenProcess(PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS, FALSE, proc_id); 

   if (hProcess != 0) 

   { 

      ReadProcessMemory(hProcess, (void *) lpBaseAddress, lpBuffer, nSize, NULL); 

   } 

   CloseHandle(hProcess); 

}

You'd call this method with lpBaseAddress as the memory address, a buffer to store the read data in as lpBuffer, and the number of bytes to read as nBytes.

[John]

so it would be like this?

//###################### READBYTES 

void ReadBytes(DWORD lpBaseAddress, void *lpBuffer, int nSize) 

{ 

   HWND hwnd = FindWindow(NULL,"Delta Force,  V1.5.0.5"); 

   DWORD proc_id; 

   GetWindowThreadProcessId(hwnd, &proc_id); 

   HANDLE hProcess = OpenProcess(PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS, FALSE, proc_id); 

   if (hProcess != 0) 

   { 

      ReadProcessMemory(hProcess, (void *) 00007EEC1C, chatStringVar, 32, NULL); 

   } 

   CloseHandle(hProcess); 

} 

and then i could like cout << chatStringVar and it will print it? im sure its not that easy...?
