lmsdev / w_d-hook

A script hook for Watch Dogs which exposes the lua API functions to users to allow them to create their own scripts. Please note that project is discontinued and doesn't work with the latest version and should be considered an educational project.

General

I've decided to release my Watch Dogs Script Hook as I still receive questions about the game and I don't really actively develop this (last commit around June).

Watch Dogs Script Hook

A script hook for Watch Dogs which exposes the lua API functions to users to allow them to create their own scripts. Doesn't work on the current version of the game. Supposed to act as an educational resource for game hacking, since it's very hacky and very bad/ugly code (e.g. mixed naming conventions). The last thing I was working on was getting lua callbacks for the d3d hook to work, but never found the time to properly implement it. The threading model is also very hacky.

Please don't blame for any code issues, this project is discontinued and was just a quick PoC. In addition, I never worked with lua so this implementation is probably going to hurt everyone who ever seriously worked with lua. Feel free to contribute/update for current version. Also feel free to ask questions, though I may not be able to answer since it's a long time since I worked on this.

Have fun and happy REing!

w_d-hook's Issues

Just a simple question?

Hey, I know I know this is past 1 year, but I have a simple question.. The hook doesnt seem to load, because there's no log file, and I bet they didn't update the game that hard.. Could you tell me why?
Thanks :)

How to use it?

I saw that 'LuaFunctions' holds the offset for these respective lua functions. Asked a friend to compile the VS_sln, but it produces several dlls. So my simple question is:
a. what needs to be installed to hook the script ?
b. while ingame, how to invoke any lua script/function ?

I can test this with the original v1.0, to see it's working. If so, I can then update the offsets to its latest version and test accordingly.
