New FLhook
-
There is no SDK. All of FLHook has been built through forced Assembly hooking into the game, not by some sort of designed API that was part of the game.
I think reprogramming the entire thing in Delphi would be a lot more wasteful than getting to know C++
-
Actually I want to build a comeplete FLhook from scratch, not just a plug-in for existing FLhook
So if there is somebody who has information about that i would really appreciate
And learning how to do good programming in C++ will take far too much time, I understand a bit of it but learning it all over again like i did with Delphi, would probably take me 2+ years like it took me to learn Delphi
So if you just could give me some hints of how to call the procedure/functions and the parameters that i need to pass would be great as for the fictions I have to export and the parameters i must pass on to the FLserver.exe in order to get this baby rolling
Thx for your assistance

Is delphi your 1st programming language? It is usually way easier to learn additional ones since (mostly) jsut the syntax changes.
No offense intended, not even I know much about assembly, but assembly is LOW-LEVEL programming. You have to manually move adresses n stuffz, if I am not mistaken. It is how the processor works with the data.
Plus, if you want to write a new FLHook then - You will need to learn assembly, right?
C++/Delphi is nothing compared to it!
Better spend the same time learning C++, it should be much easier. I guess a lot can be done in C++ learned in max. 1 year, but nothing with assembly learned in the same period. A friend told me that you even have about four times as much assembly code than you have at C++, though this of course also highly depends on the code. Evne at the university he only learned a bit of assembly.

Here is an example code:
http://www.assembly.happycodings.com/code24.htmlAssemble is WAY more different from Delphi/Pascal than C++ is.
So…some suggestions;
1. Learn C++ and continue using it in FLHook
2. Learn C++ and write a Delphi plugin (Idk how much C++ skills would be necessary)
3. Hope that another member of this community writes a plugin for you, maybe ask for it. If you want to increase your chances you might want to offer the coder that you code him certain features/whatever in Delphi for his server in return. Might take the least time of those three suggestions. Aside of learning assembly, which would require surely even more time. -

Why not? Write SharpHook )

Many thanks already for the advice and links, I will look into all that and see what i can come up with
My first languege was Basic… D’oh, really old stuff… From there I upgraded to Delphi which is very powerful, at least as powerful as C++ but all managed differently, all is object based and doing assembler code i think that i will have to grow myself a second head before I understand that lol… In Delphi no need to shift memory and so, it does it all on its own as C++
And if anyone has any leads on how and which routines need to be called and exported I will be greatful for it

To what is C# compiled then? To some kind of “intercode” such as Java? Means, that it get intepreted by the machine (an interpreter) an additional time?
-
Java gets compiled to Java bytecode. My understanding of the runtime is that everything that can be run as machine code is compiled and executed, and the rest is interpreted.
C# is compiled to MS’s Common Intermediate Language and then assembled into a form of so called bytecode and a .NET assembly is created.
We seem to be heading off topic here though, let’s try to get back to the original topic so this thread doesn’t end up getting split.
