Interception with DirectX

DirectX Interception
Status: Creating plugin for simba and working on the connection part

What is it?

It allows us to read the data that runescape client sends to the graphics card. That way we can identify each drawn object with an ID that the program creates automatically from the model and get its exact screen position. We can also get the vertex data of the ground we are standing on from a pretty large area and that way we can search for a specific point on the map and get our players relative position to it.

Features:

• Accurate object finding with IDs
• Perfect uptext reading, never messes up the letters
• Searching inventory for specific item
• New ChooseOption function, same precision as the uptext reading
• New MakeCompass function that can set your minimap to the angle you want +- 1 degree
• Accurate specific spot finding from the currently loaded minimap area
• Accurate walking along created path
• + More features will come after getting this working with Simba

Looks awesome mate! I can't wait t see the source :)

This actually looks really nice! Can't wait till you show us what you can do!

Hey looks great. Does this limit the bots you can use to 1 or could you use multiple?

Looks interesting indeed. Good luck on getting the co-ordinates working!

You can have multiple, when you instantiate the hook you can create a unique identifier which then is bound to one plugin. I think it's even possible to use SMART's PID to identify which game is which.

LOL shocking first post. Nice, keep it going. :)

This looks promising! Is there any benefits from using this?

It uses very much less cpu than if you would search the screen and find an object by color + its probably faster + its more accurate + requires less updating.

If runescape is updated for example, many people have to update their scripts colors and so on but this uses only the object shape for searching, so with this all you have to do is walk next to the object, see whats the new ID and put that to script and it works again. And that is required only if the object models are updated, which happens rarely if ever because its much work for jagex to update all models and then we look for the new ID's in an hour.

Hmm, so would i be right in saying that it would have to pull the shape from some database?

It doesnt need any databases, when runescape client sends directx a command to render a chicken for example, my program detects that and sees how many points and triangles the chicken is made of. It combines them to make the ID for the object which is 74005 for chicken. When a new object is made to runescape it will automatically give it its own ID without me adding it to the code or anywhere else.

A database can be made to store the ID's for different objects if wanted but its not required.

You are headed in the right direction on where simba should be working with next

Oh very nice! I look forward to seeing what your capable of ;)

Awesome :). Just don't leave us like silentwolf ;).

Dont worry, in 2 weeks my summer holiday starts and lasts for 2 and half months so i have alot of time to work on this :)

This is really nice, good luck with this!:)

Looking good.
Eager to test a beta version when ready.

This looks really impressive! What programming languages do you know?

Wow very impressive, looking forward to seeing source and further development :)

Could this work like reflection did?

If this works, does that mean dung bot is do-able?

EDIT: Yay 200 Posts :D

:O
Awesome.

Dung bot is do-able without it lol

Wow, really looking forward to hearing more about this

I have worked on text recognition today, i already found the function that is used to draw all 2D sprites and text. Ill try to make some system to identify all the letters now.

E: And with same system inventory items too.

But when Optimus would land, will this be unaffected right ?

If they dont disable DirectX totally it will work.

I managed to access the sprite data before it is drawn and saved them as images. I found a font sprite that contains all the letters that uptext can contain + a whole minimap image from a pretty large area:

With the minimap i could make a very precise positioning system. If i can get the coordinates of what part of the minimap is drawn currently i can get the exact position of the player in the minimap coordinates. That way i can store for example walking path in minimap coords and make the player walk it very precisely without the risk of misswalking. Sounds good to me.

The minimap is actually rendered from 4 chunks.

Like this: (EDIT: Takes a while to load the GIF)
http://www.frement.net/srl/interception/minimap.gif

Because the minimap i got is in 1 piece it means it was drawn in just 1 call to the drawing function so what do you mean by 4 chunks?

Btw what'd you use to debug the DirectX calls RuneScape makes?

It might just be the OpenGL then. I haven't personally hooked DirectX.

Doesn't it depend on where you are standing on what hunks are loaded? like if someone was standing towards the center of Mato's image, wouldn't all four chunks load then and show as a single loaded chunk?

I debug the functions by just adding the hook of the function i want, for example DrawIndexedPrimitive that is used to draw all the 3D models and then adding a hotkey to it. When i press the hotkey it will return D3D_OK which means like drawing succesfull and then i see it directly in the game what isnt drawn. This is just for drawing functions ofc but i dont use any other programs for this.

Ill get more minimap images today so i will see about the chunk thing.

Would make it quite a bit easier, yes

My computers harddrive decided to break today, dont worry i had a backup of everything but it might take a few days to get back working on this.

Just a warning to everyone, please do NOT use any precompiled binaries without having either source or the approval of a staff member.

This looks good though, but why not hook OpenGL, that way its cross platform?

Woah map the whole runescape with that :P would make sps alot more accurate :)

Could you PM me (or just post here) some sources? I'd really love to see how you do the hooking :)

And out of curiosity, do you hook the gfx drivers directly, d3d9.dll or jagdx.dll?

I didnt hook OpenGL because firstly i didnt find any DirectX hooks so it was like a challenge for me and second i dont have any experience with OpenGL so with that it would have taken much longer to achieve the same as what i have done now.

I will post some cleaned up code after i get my own computer running again, i should get a new harddrive tomorrow and then i will have to install windows again + visual studio + bla bla bla...

And i hook the d3d9.dll
