it hooks timeGetTime, GetTickCount and QueryPerformanceCounter and let them return a fake time
The fake time is updated with a thread that is running at maximum priority that increases the timer every few milliseconds (sleeptime) so the speed will be a multiplication of the real time
source: cehook/speedhack.pas

Okay, this is really complicated, how can i get this working without including all those other cheat engine files. I kind of understand speedhack.pas . But how do i use the functions in it?  |

If you have them hooked you can rewrite what they do and return any value you want. For example timeGetTime:
Return value is the system time in milliseconds.
| Code: | | DWORD timeGetTime(VOID); |
Once you have it hooked you should basically have a "detoured" function that you can call to be the new function such as:
| Code: |
DWORD WINAPI mine_timeGetTime(VOID)
{
// ... code here
} |
In your function you can return what ever you want, or make a call to the original function and return the normal value.

Okay now wiccan, that isn't really the problem now, what i need help on is the SendMessage Part, when i enable it, i dont get errors, but the process is not different, so nothing really happend, and so far myfunctino looks like so:
sendmessage(WindowHandle,wm_user+6,sleeptime,speed);
WindowHandle Holds the HWND of a selected Window
SleepTime and Speed is modified through edit texts.
But this is still not working  |

Not sure why you are using SendMessage, can't say I have seen SendMessage used for a speed hack before. As DB pointed out in the source of CE, you can find the speedhack hook located in cehook/speedhack.pas

Yes, i know that's the hook. But at the end of the button for speed hack, it says
x := SendMessage(CEFUNCPROC.HYPERMODE.something,wm_user+6,sleeptime,speed);
So, im guessing that sendmessage is the indicator to start the speed hack? |

that sendmessage will only work when the cehook.dll has been injected and the controlwindow has been spawned
