I found this old tutorial here but it will not work for the game i'm working with atm.. http://forum.codecal...-emulation.html

Is there another way for games to get mouse and keyboard input. Them tutorials work fine in notepad but will not do anything in the game.

It might not work because of some anticheat feature,
or maybe because game uses direct input or some such.

You should reverse games input loop to see how they retrieve input.

I'm really pretty noobish to reversing, is there any other way to figure it out?

Edit: I found a programs called Dependency Walker that showed me the dependencies for the game and one of them is DINPUT8. I'm sure thats direct input 8 so all i need now to to learn how to send keystrokes and mouse events to that, know of any tutorials?

You can either use sendinput with dinput key constants
Keyboard Device Enumeration
SendInput Function (Windows)

or just hook dinput device interface or somewhere else to inject key codes.

So... I can use the SendInput function still just by using them them keys? I'll try and figure this out later thanks.

Maybe checking out the MSDN page on SendInput() will help: SendInput()
If that doesn't help just google SendInput example and I am sure you will find something!

I've been googling for 5 days. I found out now thought he app uses direct input... Thats making this get very hard.
