Sending Commands (Memory Bot): What is the best way nowadays?

[Tilp]

Guys,

I am currently working on a bot in C# for FFXIV. I have finished the first part which is a multi-threaded application that reads memory using basepointer + offsets, then updates the GUI.

I have also implemented functionality for sending commands, using sendInput(). My code is now capable of sending combined keystrokes such as ctrl+1, which was a bit more complicated than i first imagined. This method might not be the most professional though, so below follows a couple of quick questions.

1) What is the best way nowadays for a bot to send commands to a game process? Any links to information / tutorials / sample code would be greatly appreciated.

2) If anyone out there would like to team up with me as a mentor / partner, please let me know. I am very interested in expanding my knowledge and put down time and effort to make something really professional and functional

Thanks a million in advance!


Best regards,

Magnus
