Not much to say, I wanna print text on my diablo window (IE. winamp song, ping, fps or w/e). All tips are appreciated as I know nothing so far.

Find the function D2 calls to display text when you type something, it should call an even more generic function, backstep into that then find out the address. Hook into the Render loop to remove flicker or find an address which changes on refresh to patch.

You can use DirectDraw.

You can turn on the FPS printing on in D2 via a command line "/command".

Or type "fps" in-game.

That was an example I don't actually want to do that wow... Do you have any input for what I do want to do? (Print text on the d2 window LIKE the /fps commands)

Hey, I told you how to do it. I've told you in other threads what you need to do as well, if you choose not to listen that's not my fault.

I am choosing to listen, I am simply asking for it in more "noob" friendly terms.

If you could talk with me over aim or msn that'd be great.

Just looked at it, followed the Tutorial 1 and I have no idea what to do.

You're going to have to put some effort into this, google some tutorials understand game hacking, etc..

Just to update if anyone wants to do this, I had to inject a dll which I wrote in c++

[code]
typedef void (_stdcall *pPrint)(wchar_t* Text, char Color);

void PrintMessage(char *Message, char Color)
{
pPrint Print = (pPrint)0x6FAC6780; //function for adding message to chat
wchar_t Buffer[0x130];  //buffer (0x130 was maximum from what i read somewhere)
        //convert to WideChar (2 bytes per each character)
MultiByteToWideChar(0, 1, Message, 100, Buffer, 100);
Print (Buffer, Color);    //and print
}
[/code]

Used:

[code]
PrintMessage("Inject Successful",1);
[/code]
