Starcraft & Winamp

[abc]

I saw a screen shot a while ago on vL about a kid who made a Winamp controller to work with in-game starcraft (a hack essentially), I was curious if anyone knows any standalone "hacks" or programs that allow you to use winamp in-game starcraft. I just find it annoying to go back and forth and I hate setting up playlists

You could do something like what RESP did.  Have StarCraft connect to your little program, which forwards all traffic back and forth.  Have it check out the chat packets for commands and parse whatever (and forward, if you want).

I wrote that about a year ago, it will parse output from any Battle.net game and allow you to manipulate Winamp.

Great, thanks!

Kind of offtopic from this, but not too far but. It's been awhile since I've read about the Starcraft InGame drawing on screen, anyone here successfully accomplish it?

[rabbit]

Why bother?  You can just forge a whisper packet and send it to your client...

It doesn't really pertain that much to a winamp controller as it does to curiosity and interest.

Nobody here, as far as I know.

Of course, I very easily could, but I never tried.

Hmm. Might be a good project for you to open source then?

I didn't write any code for it.

All you have to do is fine a DirectX function that swaps in the backbuffer, then use that pointer to the backbuffer to write to it. Nothing tricky about that.

(You obviously have to be in Starcraft's memory space and all that firrst)

Which means risking Warden crap.

I was suggesting it might be a nice project for you to do then open source it.

ya, I've read a little bit about it but I don't really get it

You're risking it, definitely, but if you aren't writing to Starcraft's processes/DLLs you're probably ok. Probably.

Like that tutorial I wrote for you?

[rabbit]

Why risk it if there's no need?  If he does the gateway scheme, like I suggested, he can forge whisper packets as responses to his commands.

Oh don't get me wrong, I understood and did intake many parts of what you wrote of that tutorial I'm appreciated it a lot

Depends what he wants to do. He said in a previous post that this isn't about winamp, it's something else he's curious about.

I still say false whispering is easiest.  You'll be able to print to the screen and not risk Warden.

Warden is binary code that the client runs. It can detect absolutely anything. The assumption is that it won't consider printing to the screen a hack.

I just have a winamp-enabled battle.net bot running and on my friends list, then I can just /f m play songname

I hope you have no one else on your friends list. that would be a good way to get yourself ignored easy from me

this is really easy. in fact, writing to the screen was always the first function i'd mess with, when writing hacks. i used to do this all the time for various hacks. it's very easy once you find the function, which is easy enough to find also.

as per to the winamp thing - i made on awhile ago, but i'm sure it doesn't work anymore. it was part of my starcraft chat modification hack thing, might be on http://rafm.org/. just injected code to handle specified /commands, and then execute my own linked libraries. very simple hack to make.

Actually, I haven't used that method in years. I do occasionally use /f m to send commands to my ops bot, but when you consider that it's running on a computer that has no sound card, and is physically in another state, using it to control winamp seems pretty silly.

I use global hotkeys to control winamp; alt+ctrl+arrow keys.
