How to make a DayZ RPM/WPM Radar [LEECHED]

[Douggem]

Master, could you give me a hand with reading player names? ( I'm working C++ and I can't seem to get a working function for reading ascii string... )

Reading strings in C++ is just setting a char pointer to the first char in the string and passing that address to whatever function you use that handles strings.

This reminds me of dayz navigator and it works quite well but you need to really try because it fails a lot.

I have really tried to understand this but, it's like greek to me, I have "played" with Cheat Engine before but how do I put all this info together? Could anyone teach me or just point me a way to go? I really want to build one of these and learn how to!

[Symboliq]

You think you could make this in download form? . . Lol, sorry. :/ I know, not just me does not understand / want to read this much of stuff/code/whatever. We also know you didn't make that yourself, like stated in the first few comments.

for some reason, I can't seem to get the local player coords?
I always seem to get 970.0 for the Y and 0.0 for the x

yet, I can get the coords for all the other players just fine!

here's a snippet of code I've writtent just for pulling back the local player coords.
Could someone point out my mistake?

        public void FindLocalPlayer()
        {            
            var localPlayerAddress = GetAddress(0xDFCDD8, 0X13A8, 0X4);
            var localCoordsBaseAddress = (localPlayerAddress + 0x18);
            var localX = mem.ReadFloat(localCoordsBaseAddress + 0x28);
            var localY = mem.ReadFloat(localCoordsBaseAddress + 0x30);
            var localZ = mem.ReadFloat(localCoordsBaseAddress + 0x2C);
            var localXDir = mem.ReadFloat(localCoordsBaseAddress + 0x1C);
            var localYDir = mem.ReadFloat(localCoordsBaseAddress + 0x24);            
        }

        private int GetAddress(params int[] offsets)
        {
            int address = 0;
            foreach (var offset in offsets)
            {
                address = mem.ReadInt(address + offset);
            }
            return address;
        }

Edit:

Nevermind.. I was being a div!

Here's the "right" code just incase anyone else stumbles on the same issue (unlikely):

        public void FindLocalPlayer()
        {            
            var localPlayerAddress = GetAddress(0xDFCDD8, 0X13A8, 0X4);
            var localCoordsBaseAddress = mem.ReadInt(localPlayerAddress + 0x18);
            var localX = mem.ReadFloat(localCoordsBaseAddress + 0x28);
            var localY = mem.ReadFloat(localCoordsBaseAddress + 0x30);
            var localZ = mem.ReadFloat(localCoordsBaseAddress + 0x2C);
            var localXDir = mem.ReadFloat(localCoordsBaseAddress + 0x1C);
            var localYDir = mem.ReadFloat(localCoordsBaseAddress + 0x24);            
        }

        private int GetAddress(params int[] offsets)
        {
            int address = 0;
            foreach (var offset in offsets)
            {
                address = mem.ReadInt(address + offset);
            }
            return address;
        }

There's a typo on this line (for finding weapon names):

weaponNameAddress: Player + 694] + (0x24 * weaponID + 8)] + 0x10] + 4]

I believe it should read:

weaponNameAddress: Player + 0x694] + (0x24 * weaponID + 8)] + 0x10] + 4]

I'd also say this:

PlayerSkinStringAddress: player + 0x3C] + 0x30] + 0x8]

should be this:

PlayerSkinStringAddress: player + 0x3C] + 0x30]

and then you can read it like any other string:

PlayerSkinStringLength: PlayerSkinStringAddress + 0x4
PlayerSkinString: PlayerSkinStringAddress + 0x8

ps - I'm not knocking the tut btw - it's precisely what I wanted and I'm learning a shit-tonne from it so thanks for that.
I just want to help out anyone help out anyone else who is following it and gets stuck / confused by it

Could I suggest this bit be cleared up a little?
From this:

To get the player name, first we have to get the NameID. Things like vehicles or AI will have a NameID of 1, which means their only name is stored in their entity struct at:


Code:
GenericName: entity + 0xAC8].
If their name is !=1 and >0, then we can get their name from the scoreboard

to maybe this:

...To get the player name, first we have to get the NameID:

NameID: entity + 0xAC8]

Things like vehicles or AI will have a NameID of 1, which means their only name is stored in their entity struct, which we can find a pointer to at this address:

NameStringAddress: entity + 0xA20

which can then be read like any other string

NameStringLength: NameStringAddress + 0x4
NameString: NameStringAddress + 0x8

If their name is !=1 and >0, then we can get their name from the scoreboard...

[sk93]

I think this bit in "other entities" is inaccurate also:

TableSize: ObjectTableAddress] + MasterOffset] + SlaveOffset + 8]

I believe it should read:

TableSize: ObjectTableAddress] + MasterOffset] + SlaveOffset + 4]

[sk93]

So.. finally worked through the entire tut now, and have managed to create my own working RPM radar XD
(which is coincidentally my first "hack")

Excellent Tut and thanks to both the OP of this thread and the one you leeched it from!

If anyone can explain how to compile this in skype, I'll be willing to negotiate what you want for it.

This...makes my head hurt :S

I can explain it for you here - for free!


First, read the tut - all of it - at least twice
Then, download and install Visual Studio
Next, Write the code to look up and handle all the offsets posted
Finally, to compile it, press F6.

For the people asking for a download, I released the source and a binary and tried to release it here, but it got deleted because I didn't do all the stuff your forum requires and I don't use this forum much so I didn't bother after that. If you google ObamaDrone DayZ you'll find it.

I was banned because this :O
