Title: SCM to WoW through EXE
Post by: Alastor on July 16, 2014, 02:38:26 am

Hi i dont have any idea where to put this or where i can now find some good programators for cunsultating
so ... here iam...

In Hitchhiker's Hack was button to add into your Default Chat Frame Message through API "DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage" i think
so im asking

have somebody any idea how to make .exe (program) that will be able to write Chat messages in game ? through API "SendChatMessage" ?
all i need is code for sending those messages to client
if im right "SendChatMessage" its by "SMSG_MESSAGECHAT" "0x096"
if somebody could help i'll be pleased (about things like this im glad for every help)

Two possibilities :
- Send message through the socket the client is listening on (dont know if its feasible, just try to mimic what servers do by looking at their code)
or :
- Inject a dll
- communicate with that dll through cross process communications (pipe, socket, events, whatever)
- when u receive signal, call the lua function or underlying c++ function.
You have to use some kind of synchronisation since u re using multiple threads. Either find the object Wow uses for LUA synchronisation if there is one, or the one of the underlying c++ function. If there is none then those functions are not supposed to be called from different threads, then u have a serious problem.
- In the external application just connect to the dll through cross process communication and send signal to print messages.

edit :
why do you want an external application anyway? LUA can do whatever you want, just go with it.
