Finding Offsets in Warcraft 3

[Kaligula]

Hi guys.

I am busy working on my maphack and I am having trouble finding the offsets. Especially the one that removes the fog on the the main and mini map. Can somebody give me an idea as to what I have to do in order to to find this offset.

Help is much appreciated.

This is tutorial you are looking for, it also has a video in it. Its a 20min one so dont get lazy.

Yes I know how to find offsets and to code them... The problem I'm having is finding the offset which is responsible for removing the fog on the main and mini map thus making everything visible. All I'm looking for is for an idea or a way to find this specific offset.

I guess one way would be to look for the function that draws the fog once a unit moves. Move a Unit, find the location where the fog is saved, then move on from there and find the code changing those values. Once you got it a few NOP (0x90 is the opcode in x86 ASM) should do it. Something like that - I never looked into it though.

iseedeadpeople on single player should work.

I suppose he didnt watch the video. It explains how to do that.

Unfortunately "iseedeadpeople" doesn't work. You don't get any offset from it. The video doesn't show you how to do this it only shows you how to find the offset for showing all units which is easy.

Dekar your method did work to remove the fog on the mini map. However I still can't get the fog off the main map.

The other problem is that the fog is not the only thing covering the map. There is also a black mask which i suppose you need to find it's offset as well somehow...

Cool, I am glad it at least partially worked, as I never even tried hacking WC3

Edit:
Well I did other hacks, but never hacks involving the gameplay.
