[Olly]Getting the D3D9 device pointer in MW2

Since melodia had a question about d3d hooking I figured i'd write this up real quick(copied over from her forums):

---
A quick tut on getting the D3D device pointer for MW2

First load up iw4mp.exe into olly, and search for -> all intermodular calls.
Sort them by name by clicking on the 'Destination' button above the calls.

Start typing: Direct, you should now see two calls to Direct3DCreate9.
Follow the first one:

Code:

004FC856  |. E8 05D21800    CALL <JMP.&d3d9.Direct3DCreate9>
004FC85B  |. 8BF8           MOV EDI,EAX
004FC85D  |. 85FF           TEST EDI,EDI
004FC85F  |. 74 34          JE SHORT iw4mp.004FC895
004FC861  |. 8B07           MOV EAX,DWORD PTR DS:[EDI]
004FC863  |. 8B50 14        MOV EDX,DWORD PTR DS:[EAX+14]
004FC866  |. 8D4C24 08      LEA ECX,DWORD PTR SS:[ESP+8]
004FC86A  |. 51             PUSH ECX
004FC86B  |. 6A 00          PUSH 0
004FC86D  |. 6A 00          PUSH 0
004FC86F  |. 57             PUSH EDI
004FC870  |. FFD2           CALL EDX
004FC872  |. 85C0           TEST EAX,EAX
004FC874  |. 7C 17          JL SHORT iw4mp.004FC88D

Aww... no absolute addies for us to use(we could still hook Direct3DCreate9 tho, but they will detect that)

Let's try the other one:

Code:

0050DCAB  |. E8 B0BD1700    CALL <JMP.&d3d9.Direct3DCreate9>
0050DCB0  |. 85C0           TEST EAX,EAX ; test against itself
0050DCB2  |. A3 E4727306    MOV DWORD PTR DS:[67372E4],EAX ; BINGO! 0x67372E4 is where they store the device pointer!
0050DCB7  |. 75 13          JNZ SHORT iw4mp.0050DCCC ; jump if D3DCreate9 didnt return a null pointer
0050DCB9  |. 68 745B7800    PUSH iw4mp.00785B74                      ;  ASCII "Direct3D 9 failed to initialize
"
0050DCBE  |. 6A 08          PUSH 8
0050DCC0  |. E8 0B27FFFF    CALL iw4mp.005003D0

0x67372E4 is a pointer to the games IDirect3D9, from which they will call CreateDevice to have the actual device created.

CreateDevice is the 16th virtual function in IDirect3D9, 0x4 is the size of a pointer, 16 = 0x10, 0x4*0x10 = 0x40, so we want to look at where IW4MP
does something like the following:
mov ECX, DWORD PTR DS:[67372E4];
mov EAX, DWORD PTR DS:[ECX+40];
call EAX;

Now this is what I found:

now take a closer look at the following, this is what CreateDevice looks like:

Code:

HRESULT CreateDevice(
  [in]           UINT Adapter,
  [in]           D3DDEVTYPE DeviceType,
  [in]           HWND hFocusWindow,
  [in]           DWORD BehaviorFlags,
  [in, out]      D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS *pPresentationParameters,
  [out, retval]  IDirect3DDevice9 **ppReturnedDeviceInterface
);

And this:

Code:

0050DAFC   . 68 E8727306    PUSH iw4mp.067372E8 ; push parameter
0050DB01   . 55             PUSH EBP ; push parameter
0050DB02   . 52             PUSH EDX ; push parameter
0050DB03   . 8B5424 30      MOV EDX,DWORD PTR SS:[ESP+30] ; store one of the arguments to the function in EDX
0050DB07   . 52             PUSH EDX ; Push parameter
0050DB08   . A2 F0727306    MOV BYTE PTR DS:[67372F0],AL ; No idea
0050DB0D   . A1 E4727306    MOV EAX,DWORD PTR DS:[67372E4] ; Store the pointer to the IDirect3D9 pointer in EAX
0050DB12   . 8B08           MOV ECX,DWORD PTR DS:[EAX] ; Store the address of the actual IDirect3D9 in ECX
0050DB14   . 6A 01          PUSH 1 ; push parameter
0050DB16   . 57             PUSH EDI ; push parameter
0050DB17   . 50             PUSH EAX ; push parameter
0050DB18   . 8B41 40        MOV EAX,DWORD PTR DS:[ECX+40] ; Store the pointer to CreateDevice in EAX
0050DB1B   . FFD0           CALL EAX ; Call EAX, which points to CreateDevice

Since EDX is pushed twice, I just discard one since I have no idea what i'm doing.
That leaves with 6 pushed parameters, since they're pushed in reverse order(last in first out), it would mean the last parameter of CreateDevice is pushed first.

Code:

PUSH iw4mp.067372E8

OH SHIT! COULD THAT BE THE POINTER TO THE DEVICE POINTER? let's hope so, since I am unable to test

IDirect3DDevice9 *myDevicePointer = *(IDirect3DDevice9**)0x067372E8;

I hope this helped!

Have fun,

The device class is IDirect3DDevice9, not IDirect3D9. Though, your method still works. You can replace the CreateDevice function with your own and log the last parameter ( returned device pointer ) then start from step 1 using that pointer but for the device class.

Geewd job HD.

I'll go back to olly see where they store the device pointer(since I wan't to do it without changing anything in the game itself)

edited main post to report my new finding

To find it, just use the virtual method to get CreateDevice function, follow it and look in the stack. Last parameter is the device. In my "Hooking members of IDirect3DDevice9" tutorial, the inline assembly method I showed is what you should do in olly to find the function using the virtual table.

I doubt this is going to work

Code:

IDirect3DDevice9 *myDevicePointer;

HRESULT (*oDrawIndexedPrimitive)(D3DPRIMITIVETYPE PrimitiveType, INT BaseVertexIndex,UINT MinVertexIndex,UINT NumVertices,UINT startIndex,UINT primCount);
HRESULT xDrawIndexedPrimitive(D3DPRIMITIVETYPE PrimitiveType,INT BaseVertexIndex,UINT MinVertexIndex,UINT NumVertices,UINT startIndex,UINT primCount)
{
	if(primCount == 1337)
	{
		myDevicePointer->SetRenderState(D3DRS_ZENABLE, FALSE);
	}
	HRESULT ret = oDrawIndexedPrimitive(PrimitiveType, BaseVertexIndex, MinVertexIndex, NumVertices, startIndex, primCount);
	if(primCount == 1337)
	{
		myDevicePointer->SetRenderState(D3DRS_ZENABLE, TRUE);
	}
	return ret;
}

unsigned long HookVTableOffset(unsigned long address, int offset, unsigned long newFunc)
{
	unsigned long retval = *(unsigned long*)(address+(0x4*offset));
	DWORD dwOld;
	VirtualProtect((LPVOID)(address+(0x4*offset)), 4, PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE, &dwOld);
	*(unsigned long*)(address+(0x4*offset)) = newFunc;
	VirtualProtect((LPVOID)(address+(0x4*offset)), 4, dwOld, &dwOld);
	return retval;
}

void SetupHook()
{
	myDevicePointer = *(IDirect3DDevice9**)0x067372E8;

	oDrawIndexedPrimitive = (HRESULT (__cdecl *)(D3DPRIMITIVETYPE,INT,UINT,UINT,UINT,UINT))HookVTableOffset(*(unsigned long*)myDevicePointer, 82, (unsigned long)xDrawIndexedPrimitive);
}

82 is the offset in the vtable for DIP

Hmm, I meant the inline assembly part. You have address for the created IDirect3D9 instance, using that method you can find CreateDevice, log the last parameter ( look in the stack window ) then use the method again to get the IDirect3DDevice9 address.

I think your code will work, type definitions for those long annoying casts

I don't like typedefs, never learned how to use those :P
