[C++] Changing gravity

Hey guys. I decided to take a little break from working on the emulator for now, wanted to learn some new stuff and chill while I'm going through a lot of testing at school before I do a lot of work on it again.

So this morning I decided to learn how to write injectable DLLs. Hooking functions and calling external functions was a pretty new concept, as well as writing DLLs in general. But some googling and a few tutorials helped me right along.

I noticed a lot of people here were curious about editing the gravity and had trouble with it, so to give back, here's a DLL I wrote a bit ago that hooks the GetGravityConst() function and returns a custom value. It doesn't parse the room name yet, just returns a static value, though I plan on doing the room name thing soon. But hey, it works. Here's the code/download, enjoy.

addresses.h

Code:

---

/*
    Author - Team Zebra
   
    addresses.h - addresses of Gunz functions that we wanna call.
*/

#ifndef _ADDRESSES_H_
#define _ADDRESSES_H_

#define ADDR_GETGRAVITYCONST    0x0047DB30

#endif

---

main.cpp

Code:

---

/*
    Author - Team Zebra

    main.cpp - main code for our DLL.
*/

#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#define WIN32_EXTRA_LEAN

#include <windows.h>
#include "detours.h"
#include "addresses.h"
#pragma comment(lib, "detours.lib")

// GetGravityConst prototype
float (__stdcall* GetGravityConst)();

// Our detoured GetGravityConst(), just returns our value.
float GetGravityConstDetour(void)
{
    return 0.1f;
}

// Entrypoint for the DLL.
INT APIENTRY DllMain(HMODULE hDLL, DWORD Reason, LPVOID Reserved)
{
    switch(Reason)
    {
        case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
            // set our detour
            GetGravityConst = (float (__stdcall*)())DetourFunction(
                (PBYTE)ADDR_GETGRAVITYCONST, (PBYTE)GetGravityConstDetour);

            DisableThreadLibraryCalls(hDLL);
            break;
        case DLL_THREAD_ATTACH:
        case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:
            DetourRemove((PBYTE)ADDR_GETGRAVITYCONST, (PBYTE)GetGravityConstDetour);
        case DLL_THREAD_DETACH:
            break;
    }

    return TRUE;
}

There's also detours.h and detours.lib, but I didn't write those, so I won't be posting the code, though they're in the download. Keep in mind that you need to link detours.lib to your project for it to compile. Enjoy.

Very Nice ;)
C++ FTW!
p.s First XD

Great job. This is quite pro. now lets make it auto inject! ;p

No point making it auto-inject how it is right now, it gives everyone the same gravity (0.1). Once I get it parsing the room names, then it'll be useful.

Now that I know how to write DLLs and hook functions on a basic level though, there are a few things I want to try to write. Nothing malicious, just fun, game enhancers :P

Dumb question here, but which program should I use to compile it?

Dev-Cpp or Visual C++ 2005 Express?

I'm planning to test this.

Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition is a good one :D
But also Dev-Cpp for quickness.

I dunno, I use Visual Studio 2005, never tried anything else. Keep in mind you also need the Windows SDK installed as well to include windows.h.

Wait, what does this dll do?
Does it lower gravity? or Make gravity force strongeR?

very nice, so all we have to do right now is inject in-game?

Very nice, ty^^

Done that, but it's giving me problems about finding Stdafx.h.

Very nice.

Linear88, have you added "#include "Stdafx.h" above the other includes?

#include "Stdafx.h"
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#define WIN32_EXTRA_LEAN

#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include "detours.h"
#include "addresses.h"
#pragma comment(lib, "detours.lib")

Edit: Quick question, how do you avoid the crappy wallrun? What is the normal value?

I haven't tested it out, but I'm gonna assume the original value is 1.0.

I have tried nothing changed :S

The original is 1.0, but wallrun still works badly.

GREAT JOB Zebra!
Awsome one.
10/10.

Lol, posted that hook a few days ago.

Anyway, good luck on it.

dddsssssssssssssss

Hello people, Team Zebra would like to ask in Visual Basic, I conpilia with him, why the dev c + +, I could not, and how I Faso to hokke (nerd) in theduel.exe? can you explain thanks.

Tranks

Very nice coding pro, ty

nice sharing

Nice job man.

:thumbup1: nice job thx for share

OMG, quit grave digging.

Stop bullshit-ing and learn to appreciate. We all know you haven't coded your own gravity DLL.

No one gives a fuck.

Nice No Errors Tried it.It Works Perfect

helpful release, many were waiting for something like that, eh well there is many kinds of that but part of them kinda bullshiting.

Best Regards, Wizard
