Basic Item Display tool

[kurdath]

I'd like to code a little tool that can DISPLAY 2 things for me. I will settle for a standalone program that shows a message in a separate window, until i learn how to have it display within the conquer game window. I intend to do something that will continually poll the active window and once an item is located within the information sent to the currently active game client, do the following:

1) show that a specific item or object (eg. poleaxe, meteor, gem , dragonball)
is on the screen at certain (x,y )coordinates.
2) show that a red/blue/black name is on the same screen.

Can this be done in VB ? I have limited familiarity with coding in VB, but am willing to learn. I'm using VB 6. I can code comfortably in C/C++.

any help on getting me started is greatly appreciated.

This should be posted in ... Just to let you know This section is only for releasing your work

On topic: I can't help you much, sorry

you can stick with C...

and i would invest in a packet sniffer

packet sniffing or memory reading or codehooking should work all

Keep using C++ it's better for that.

Check MSN for the GDI API (the client uses many of them). You can use PE Explorer to check which ones Conquer calls.
