Mudlord's Game Trainer Framework (or How to Hack Games)

[mudlord]

Here's some code I have been meaning to make public.

Here is a simple game trainer framework, that should work with most games out there. Some systems, like Starforce, Blizzard Warden (used in WoW), Valve VAC and GameGuard, might blacklist this.

This trainer shows the basics in how to access process memory and write to it directly. It also contains wrapper functions in how to easily access specific processes, as well as how to skin a application, as well as embed music in a executable. It also shows a real example in training, which is the freeware game "Frog Hunt", by Johan Peitz/Free Lunch Design.

It is written in pure Win32 C/C++, with the aim of zero bloat. Which involves using PNG graphics and XM music by Dubmood/Razor1911.

Enjoy.

Thanks, I've been looking for a way to do a decent trainer. Just using T-search and Trainer Maker kit doesn't cut it as I wanted to learn to make something a bit more advanced.

Yeah, most release groups these days code thier own trainers.

Least the code I posted, should be a start if you want to make really good trainers. Like how Team Brewers made a awesome one for TimeShift.

Thanks mud.

now when do you optimize pcsx2 to run on 4 cores?

I'm not going to touch PS2 emulation. So, thats not happening. Maybe when PCSX2 gets more mature, ref and co might work together to add more optimized code and threading....

Quite the productive one you are, mudlord ;P
Zero bloat certainly does sound nice.

can i build a x64 binary out of this?

nevermind...it won't build even for win32:

oh, well.

It does compile here...

Tried messing with the options in the project file????

[kidaware]

looks like it was because of wide character support.

i only got one error left:

Error 1 error C2664: 'strcmp' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'WCHAR [260]' to 'const char *' d:\projects\generic\trainerframework\source\main.c pp 230

but don't know what to do.

[mudlord]

Compiled with MSVC6 fine here....

[kidaware]

ok, i fixed it. i changed 'strcmp' to 'wcscmp.'

now i have linker error:

Error 3 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _uFMOD_PlaySong@12 referenced in function _WinMain@16 main.obj
Error 4 fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals D:\Projects\Generic\TrainerFramework\Debug\Trainer Framework.exe

i'm using vs c++ .net 2008 sp1.

[mudlord]

Error 4 fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals D:\Projects\Generic\TrainerFramework\Debug\Trainer Framework.exe

There's your problem. As a developer, I thought you would know how to fix that.....

[kidaware]

i fixed it by commenting out the following everywhere in main.cpp:

#include "ufmod.h"
uFMOD_StopSong()
uFMOD_PlaySong(MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_MUSIC), 0, XM_RESOURCE);

it runs now! it shows window with mario characters! now i try to make it x64! but no sound.

x64 no good:

Error 1 error C2664: 'DialogBoxParamW' : cannot convert parameter 4 from 'BOOL (__cdecl *)(HWND,UINT,WPARAM,LPARAM)' to 'DLGPROC' d:\Projects\Generic\TrainerFramework\source\main.c pp 113

i give up.

i changed my mind. i fixed it! i changed this:

BOOL CALLBACK DialogProc (HWND hwnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)

to this:

static INT_PTR CALLBACK DialogProc (HWND hwnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)

and remove every place that has png lib (png lib 32-bits only?) in main. it runs as x64 binary but no mario picture or sound.

oh, well. thanks for excellent framework, mudlord!

Haha, I hate errors, but coding is extremely sensitive to formatting and typos. At least the error messages are very informative to where the compiler had an issue rather than the issue itself; more often than not, you can easy pinpoint the issue
