Hello.
1. How can I write to process memory with C++ (of course I know adress) code?
In past I tried to do similiar thing with winapi, but I was able to only read process memory..

2. How can I find out a function address from running game and call it from C++ code? I already used "GetProcAddress" to get function from dll but its totally diffrent. For example I'd like to call game function that send message from external app, so I have to know how to transfer function arguments, etc... and of course how to get pointer to it.

Well, enough for start. Thanks for *any* replies.

writeprocessmemory or if you're straight in there you can use * to dereference a pointer and write to that

for 2, if the function is not exported by the dll then you will have to do your own debugging to find out the function arguments, etc. and for address the best way is probably by AOB scanning

GetProcAddress is only for exports. If you want to find out the arguments, you can breakpoint on the prologue and check the stack. Slugsnack is right, searching for bytes is the best way, if the function you want to call isn't an export.

And then for calling the external function: if it has zero or one arguments, you can use CreateRemoteThread. Otherwise you'll have to use WriteProcessMemory to write a little stub of code that will call the desired function for you, and then call CreateRemoteThread on that stub.
