An MMORPG I coded a bot for stores Mobs/NPCs and Players in a range of pointers.

006d8600 is the main player, then a range of offsets contain many things such as currentHP, Max hp, X/Y Coords etc

This is the same for nearby entities such as mobs which get stored in the next pointer such as 006d8604

This continues onwards

006d8608
006d860c
006d8610
006d8614

The problem I'm facing is that the entities in these pointers change very fast and all of the time. I get bugs in my bot with tracking the constantly changing positions of the entities in this range of pointers.

For example, Mob1 might be stored in 006d8604, but within a split second it moves to 006d8608, 006d860c and continues to bounce around all of these addresses.

I'm currently using loops to pick out the entity I need and this continues but the entity addresses move to different pointers so fast that I do get glitches where the bot gets confused.

I've coded several bots but I'm still new to botting. Is this normal behaviour in tracking entities in an MMO and is there something I should be doing?

This is my first post here and I have not contributed to the forum yet but I really would appreciate any help as I've spent many days on this problem over the past months.

I cant PM. It is a small old game but one that I and many have played for many years. I've spent a lot of time creating a fairly useful bot for it using autoit.

We do not support online / multiplayer hacking on this site. (You were fine til you mentioned the name of the game.)

It's not filters enforcing things, it's human.

Neat attempts though.

If you thought I was being sarcastic I wasn't, in either case you would be avoiding computer filters.

I also coded a bot (and am still coding it, although i moved to a packet version) for a MMO although it's not a very old one.

I've met a similar situation of yours with mobs, they are dynamically allocated.

1/ you say that mob one gets its address changed, but is it the same mob on the same lifespan ? that'd be odd. If it's once he respawns then it makes more sense.

What I did is backtrace the function a bit, I found a caller function that'd tell me the amount of entities. I could find a variable in the structure that would be a pointer to their name (it's often like that because names can be very large or very small thus a pointer to it is an efficient choice), this is how i sort mobs etc.

i found out that all variables get erased when I teleport, relog, etc, as you'd expect and I erase my bot's emulated mob variables at the same time.

Here is a similar ASM request, I am using a code that sort of follows this logic (I am passing myself a structure pointer and I then sort structures by the mob name and then i start getting interested in the location, life variables etc) :
