Retreive D2 Text - smirk_zero - 10-31-2005
Hey, im making a tool for D2 and i was just wondering if there was any way to retrieve the text from inside the Diablo window. Im not sure what programming language it might be in either, so plz post any language in which i can do this or any known way this can be done. So far i only know of OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and it sux, so any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Smirk

Yes, there is a way. All text is either statically or dynamically allocated in memory, so it's just a case of finding a direct offset or pointer to it and going from there. You'll really need C / C++ to do this.
