need some help with MAXMANA

DWORD GetMaxMana(VOID)
{
	DWORD MaxMana = 0;
	DWORD CharInfo = NULL;
	if (!EQADDR_CHAR_INFO) return 0;
	if (!*EQADDR_CHAR_INFO) return 0;
	CharInfo = (DWORD)*EQADDR_CHAR_INFO;
#if defined(_MSC_VER)
	__asm {
		push eax;
		push ecx;
		mov ecx, dword ptr [CharInfo];
		call dword ptr [EQADDR_MAXMANA];
		movsx eax, ax;
		mov [MaxMana], eax;
		pop ecx;
		pop eax;
	}

ok If I where to execute this code from an exefile not the eqlib.dll can someone post a code example, howto execute code in another process like this? What do I need to do, as it is right now I can call the GetMaxMana(); from main() but it will give me an access violation on

Code: Select all

call dword ptr [EQADDR_MAXMANA];

this line... well I have full access to the eqgame process, but dont I need to createprocessthread or something to be able to access it directly like that function is? hmm I need to be able to do this so I can debug easier, then I can help on the click thing and many other... we can do alot of fun stuff as soon as I learn howto execute code in the eqgame process...

You can't. Eqlib.dll is loaded into the eqgame.exe process space. I can't really run as a stand alone program.

hmm i was hoping for an API or something that let me inject into the process and then execute that code...

Well, that's the way MQ works.

MacroQuest.exe injects eqlib.dll into eqgame.exe

You could make your own dll to inject as numerous other people have.
