Sneak peek of a Meme Cheating API or something

[IDontReallyKnowEither]

Started working on my terraria hack again recently because i got bored; God knows how many times I've re-coded/refactored this thing over the past year or so(It's due for another cleanup soon...). It's been basically feature-complete for a while but I got the itch to make a UI with imgui to test some stuff for future projects.

This is from a couple hours of work:



The cheat originally started as a couple of things tacked onto TerrariaPatcher(google it) and based off of TerraMod. Why the hell would I want to modify the client when I can set up the base and barely touch it every update?
(Why does anyone hardcode stuff into the client? God it's so cancer. Annoying to update and inevitably abandoned after a few updates if that)

That being said, there's almost nothing left of them now. Most of the patched methods/interfaces are still there but the patching is now handled by Harmony and there will quite a bit more patches for more possibilities. You'll be able to make your own mods/commands/GUI options/etc with your own files without making modifications to the actual assembly just like TerrariaPatcher. These will, of course, work in multiplayer.

It's nowhere near as sophisticated and extensive as say, TModLoader, but it's not really meant to be. That being said, you can do quite a bit with it regardless, including easily adding new UI elements and such(not the cheat UI. Game UI). This really is just a glorified modding API that I put mingy shit into.

Current/Planned General Features:
AutoTrash command/UI for automatically trashing specific items you pick up (Yes, I totally stole this idea from a mod)
A UI for modifying items, toggling stuff, sending packets(WIP), doing shit to players/npcs, logging, tooltips everywhere, etc etc. Still a WIP in general.
Packet Sender with descriptions for different packet types(Needs to be ported from old, shitty UI). You can do a lot with this.
Command autocomplete for chat(WIP)
Able to navigate chat history with up/down keys. (Chat scroll changed to PgUp/PgDn)
Up to 7 working extra accessory slots just because.
Item spawning or anything that can use a name as an argument in a command will accept full item names in quotes or the name without spaces.
Binds for commands
Existing TerrariaPatcher plugins (some removed/replaced)

Currently available commands(<text> - Required argument(s) [text] - optional argument(s)):
.autotrash - Adds the selected item to the auto-trash list where items will be deleted on pickup.
.bind/unbind/unbindall/binds - Who knows what this does. Truly a mystery one could spend their life pondering.
.blocktp - Toggles whether all teleporting using the player's TP method are blocked(typically used by the server to teleport the player)
.butcher [all] - Kills all hostile NPCs on screen. (Yes, this works in multiplayer. It can also kill every NPC in the server.)
.butchernpcs [all] - Kills all hostile & friendly NPCs on screen.
.clearproj - Deletes any projectiles that belong to you(They will also disappear for other players).
.godmode - Yet another mystery command

I really don't feel like copy/pasting these 1 by 1 or typing them out so i'm just going to copy the command table.

End of Cancer

Enjoy reading that clusterfuck? What's that you say? You skimmed through it? *sigh*.
The command descriptions are pretty inconsistent and all over the place since I've changed things so many times and a lot were added at completely different times. I have yet to go through them and make them... Not shit.
There are still a few commands and other stuff I have yet to add.

The only modifications made to the game client are making a bunch of fields & methods public so reflection isn't being used out the ass as well as the 1 line of code added to actually load the cheat assembly.

Feel free to make suggestions for features. Stuff you've seen in old clients or something. The client/API also has no name yet. Have no clue what to call it.

I promise the release thread will be more tidy. Probably.

Never really liked imgui but with it filled like that, doesn't look half bad.

Looks good.

Thanks. It could use a lot of touching up. What you see is more or less just base imgui with some colored text and such. I'm testing it out for future projects because i can easily apply it to just about any game or application I work on in the future. The base of an all-purpose framework if you will, since I'd basically have an already set-up and very extensive UI system waiting for me that doesn't look like trash(looking at you unity). Still, screwing around with terraria is always entertaining and there was already an example of XNA integration, so i decided to start with Terraria.

Would butcher work on online servers?
I would also suggest a bind command, to bind commands to a key otherwise nice work

Yes; butcher works in servers. Yes; There a bind command. Both are mentioned in the thread.

Is the imgui just an external window, or is it bound to terraria like what csgo had a bit ago? I know C# has a Wrapper for imgui which i tried for a bit a while back and thats the main reason i dont like it, plus with the way that worked im not sure if you could replicate what you have here, so im going to assume you either have your own wrapper or you are referencing imgui directly?

Take a look at ImGuiCS on ******/google. It's what I'm currently working off of. The UI is currently using the game's Update/Draw methods rather than having an external overlay for it. It causes some weird quirks since blockInput/blockMouse/blockKeyboard in Main don't actually stop all input, and i have yet to make IL patches to stop certain things if the UI is currently focused and/or I'm about to click on it(So I don't use an item when I'm clicking on the window to focus)

Will do, thanks.

Might incorporate it into my Stardew Valley one. I'll even consider it in my Terraria one if you're not going to get annoyed about the UI idea steal lol

This looks promising, I'd love to see the final version if it ever gets there.

[HiImKyle]

I noticed you're using the InputInt method from imGui but ImGuiCS doesn't seem to have that. I had a look at saw that it was ready with the native methods but when adding a method to use it, i cant seem to get past the issue of "int*". Upon googling anything referring int* i just get int? stuff that doesn't seem to apply to what I'm trying to do. Are you using your own fork of ImGuiCS? If so can i use it?

EDIT: Ok, so i managed to get it to work but i guess changing the value is the next part..
I can't get the InputText to work either, its acting as though its readonly even though i can delete the contents but not add to it.

Fixed InputInt. (but is bound from -10 to 10 which sucks)

Can you just share your version? If thats not too much to ask? ****** or just the dll?

public static unsafe bool InputInt(string label, ref int value, int step, int step_fast, ImGuiInputTextFlags extra_flags)
            => ImGuiNative.igInputInt(label, ref value, step, step_fast, extra_flags);

        public static bool InputInt2(string label, ref Int2 value, ImGuiInputTextFlags extra_flags)
            => ImGuiNative.igInputInt2(label, ref value, extra_flags);

        public static bool InputInt3(string label, ref Int3 value, ImGuiInputTextFlags extra_flags)
            => ImGuiNative.igInputInt3(label, ref value, extra_flags);

        public static bool InputInt4(string label, ref Int4 value, ImGuiInputTextFlags extra_flags)
            => ImGuiNative.igInputInt4(label, ref value, extra_flags);

You can simply do this for InputInt and similar methods that use pointers (Just change the native import method parameters from something like 'x* name' to 'ref x name'

Here are examples of the methods:

private TextInputBuffer modalTextBuffer = new TextInputBuffer(512); // You need to initialize this outside of your draw func for fairly obvious reasons.
ImGui.InputText("Name", modalTextBuffer.Buffer, 512, ImGuiInputTextFlags.AutoSelectAll);

ImGui.InputInt("Type", ref item.type, 1, 5, ImGuiInputTextFlags.CharsDecimal);

Here's a little extension class I've made to make some things easier:
https://hastebin.com/naneruhagi.cs

Keep in mind you can change the method parameters in the source or create your own overloads with different parameters with defaults to fit your needs. See the cimgui/imgui source to see what's possible without crashing everything.

And no, I don't care what you use it for. It's certainly better than people making these god-awful UI's and pretending it's a good thing just because there's nothing better out there.

Neither work but oh well, I'll just wait till you release yours and have a look.

Interesting. It is a source-code based(like tModLoader) or a patched client?

Instead of compiled assemblies like tModLoader, "modules"/commands are just loaded from .cs files (See TerrariaPatcher)
