Software interacting with warcraft 3

I was just thinking
in a warcraft 3 rpgs can there be any way by which the -save command message will directly go into a software where is will be stored and cannot be opened by any one and when playing the game we can again load it again by opening the soft ware and presing a key sm what like dota keys and it -load without showing us the code?
is it possible?
if it then we can do things in warcraft3 that were never possible like in future we can connect the software to internet.
 
I assume if the software interacted with wc3 it would require some modifications or addition to the original software, which would violate the terms and agreements you agreed to when installing the game, not to mention disallow you the access to B.net. Use a screenshot program, nothing quite like it, doesn't interact with wc3 itself, yet you can save your save code easier. You have to still type it on a notepad and paste it in game or type it ingame ^^

Damn your fast azareus xD
 
I know about screenshot
Cant there be any way in which the -save command is executed only when the player steps on something and the printscreen can be changed to integers by it?

my main thinking is making a rpg sm what similar to a mmorpg
 
i didn't knew we need to edit the .exe file for it another question

can we lock the map folder so that only warcraft3 can open it that way maps can be save from any hacking. can that be done without editing .exe file

I think what you're talking about is protecting a map? Correct me if I'm wrong.
 
yup but in a way in which no 1 can open it. i heard the normal ways of protecting are vulnerable to some pros so i am thinking of a more safer way :)
 
With the save question, you could write a program that reads WarCraft 3's memory, and then outputs stuff. That way, you aren't actually modifying the exe.

CheatEngine 5.5 does it.
 
There is a way to do this, but it is limited and requires editing loads of C++ code.
The way I see it:
Take the w3mmd crap and add it to your map
Take a bot (GHost I guess) and modify the code shit tons so that it stores people's -save code into a database, getting the code from w3mmd
Have it so that the bot tells the game the code for the player (like how the bot can do DotA commands instead of letting blue do it)
Simple as that, conceptually that is...
This will take a lot of work and requires a great amount of already learnt experience in order to do this

EDIT: Oh, the way it is limited it because the save codes will ONLY be stored on the database that the bot is using, so if you want to try and only have this map hosted on a network of bots, that would be good.
 
bump

-----edit--------

sry i wrote bump cause i couldnt see the last replies dont know why

So its nearly impossible like? cause i cnt see any easy way out.
 
This is possible, but way beyond you and me, and I doubt you could find anyone with that great of C++ knowledge to help you with this.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm now realizing I could have cut out like 99% of this print and it would have been fine cuz I just need to see if a frame will fit over an LCD
  • Varine Varine:
    Oh well
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm not an engineer
  • Varine Varine:
    Although this filament is kind of expensive, I should probably be a bit more wary of that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I love the whole concept of 3D Printers and am very happy you have one so I can hear about them
  • The Helper The Helper:
  • Varine Varine:
    I have a couple of them, but I only have room for one to be set up at the moment
  • Varine Varine:
    So I picked the biggest one. When I bought it, I didn't realize that they used a lot of proprietary parts. So, I want to use these Volcano nozzles that are really cheap and easy to find instead of what they have, which are like, modified Volcano nozzles
  • Varine Varine:
    They are just a little bit longer than the regular ones. Like, we're talking .5mm or some shit. But that little bit makes the nozzle just long enough to extrude past the rest of the hardware on the extrusion system, I can't find my notes on it but I think it's like a .25mm gap from the end of the nozzle to the bed mesh sensor. Very small.
  • Varine Varine:
    So I bought a bunch of different parts to try and figure out how to make this work, and in the process changed some of the electrical components like the thermistors, but never got around to figuring out how to make the firmware account for the different hardware. Resulting in it not interpreting the voltage change to mean that the thermistor was above temperature, so it didn't shut off the heating core and it just kept pumping heat out
  • Varine Varine:
    I have most of the stuff I need to build an enclosure so I can heat the chamber for different plastics that need to have a pretty consistent temperature through the whole model, and then I can get my other ones set up too. I have a shitty Ender but that one is super easy to modify, but it's also very outdated and kind of a nightmare to work with. I think I'm going to cannibalize it for parts and just run my big one and another little one.
  • Varine Varine:
    I think I solved my problem with digitizing reels tho!
  • Varine Varine:
    Like Super 8 reels. Actual equipment to do it is like, thousands and thousands of dollars, and the cheap ones are useless, so I'm trying to build one so I can just use the same camera I use for slides and negatives. Much cheaper
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway, it kind of works, but the take up reel is kind of tricky because you need to spin it directly to wind the tape onto it. And as it fills, you need to slow it down, and that's kind of complicated. More complicated than I wanted to try and account for, anyway.
  • Varine Varine:
    So I have the first motor that has gearing pull it from the original reel, through a set of pullies to keep some tension, and then a second motor synced with the first to guide it through the projection port so I can capture the images
  • Varine Varine:
    All that's easy enough, I just need to make sure I don't get too much force onto the film itself so I don't accidentally tear it.
  • Varine Varine:
    Then I think my solution to the take up reel is to have a kind of dancing lever on a spring in between two limit switches
  • Varine Varine:
    So, as the tape comes towards the take up reel and makes slack, that lever is pulled up by a spring to keep the tension on the film, it hits a limit switch to engage the take up reel motor at some point, and as that winds in the film, the film pushes the lever back down to a second limit switch to disengage the motor again. Slack builds up, spring pulls it back, ad infinitum
  • Varine Varine:
    Well, until the reel is empty anyway.
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm guessing it's going to be much harder than I feel like it is going to be right now, but I think it's a pretty elegant solution that doesn't rely on software to control it. The less software I need to use the better
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm just not a very good programmer, as much as I want to be I suck at it
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Programming that printer is going to be similar to programming a big machine like in a machine shop. There is good money in programming CNC machines.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    +1
  • Varine Varine:
    They are pretty similar, but this one is much less involved than a real CNC. A lot less moving parts
