[Help] Trying external but I can't get the client module

Trying external but I can't get the client module

So I am trying to do some stuff externally for a while (just private). I am trying to get the client base address using this code:

Code:

int GetClient() {
		mEntry.dwSize = sizeof(MODULEENTRY32);
		snap = CreateToolhelp32Snapshot(TH32CS_SNAPMODULE, pID);
		if (Module32First(snap, &mEntry) == TRUE)
		{
			while (Module32Next(snap, &mEntry) == TRUE)
			{
				if (_stricmp(mEntry.szModule, "client.dll") == 0)
				{
					client = (DWORD)mEntry.modBaseAddr;
					CloseHandle(snap); 
					return (1);
				}
			}
		}
		CloseHandle(snap);
		return 0;
	}

I haven't gone and copied this so it could just be completely the wrong method of getting it but... I tried.

It is always returning 0 so therefore it is never finding the module. I have the correct process ID so that isn't the issue. Any help would be appreciated.

Variables:

Code:

MODULEENTRY32 mEntry;
HANDLE module;
HANDLE snap;
int pID;

I get the process ID from my process handle and it matches that given by cheat engine.

Code:

DWORD GetClient() {
		mEntry.dwSize = sizeof(MODULEENTRY32);
		snap = CreateToolhelp32Snapshot(TH32CS_SNAPMODULE, pID);
		if (Module32First(snap, &mEntry) == TRUE)
		{
			while (Module32Next(snap, &mEntry) == TRUE)
			{
				if (strcmp(mEntry.szModule, "client.dll") == 0)
				{
					client = (DWORD)mEntry.modBaseAddr;
					break;
					
				}
			}
		}
		CloseHandle(snap);
		return client;
	}

There is basically no different here and I use _strcmp because strcmp is deprecated. They perform the same functions.

And it doesn't matter if it returns or not I am still setting my client to the base address even if I'm not returning it

Might I add that if anyone wants to see the rest of my code I will show high rep people privately. I don't want 1000's of kids using it

Try procmem until you can make your own class for this stuff... then it's just 3 lines:

Code:

Procmem Mem;
Mem.Process("csgo.exe");
ClientDLL = Mem.Module("client.dll");

Not here to copy stuff and use others stuff, here for some info on stuff like this

Should have read first my bad

Try this,

Code:

MODULEENTRY32 GetClient(char* mName) {
	MODULEENTRY32 mEntry;
	mEntry.dwSize = sizeof(MODULEENTRY32);
	snap = CreateToolhelp32Snapshot(TH32CS_SNAPMODULE, pID);


	if (Module32First(snap, &mEntry) == true)
	{
		while (Module32Next(snap, &mEntry) == true)
		{
			if (strcmp(mEntry.szModule, (LPSTR)mName) == 0)
			{
				client = (DWORD)mEntry.hModule, mEntry.modBaseSize;
				break;
			}
		}
	}
	CloseHandle(snap);
	return client;
}

Been over a week since last update/bump after answers, assuming solved.

/Closed.
