Color-based name-colors

[Mambo]

Hi,

My little brother asked me if i perhaps could make level-based name-colors.

I started out with finding the address at which the character level was stored, in the end i found one address, but i wasn't convinced it actually was what i was looking for. (007C6CFC)

If i had this address, i wanted to compare it to 210 for example, and if it was higher, jump to the codecave to give the name a certain color. (Which would be very similar to the colors assigned to certain tags, like [GM]).

Could anyone push me in the right direction maybe?

Thanks in advance,
kind regards,
iRestyle.

PS: Is there a neat way of doing this by an injected DLL? Using detours/hooks for example?

look at exjam's post on osrose you can get an idea on how they hook that thing on the client

I saw the thing, but i want to really understand what's going on!

its easy , its just level based so if u are at level 200 for eg u have a red name u just change that in the hex and u are done lol. u can get a rough idea by looking at the ruff rose trose as well :)

I'm looking for a little more technical explanation: How to find the adresses, how to compare them properly and apply the color. I want to slowly get into function hooking so i found this a nice start.
