Debugging in VS 2005

Hi all:

In order to debug the DLL you can specify the "Executable file name"(same thing applies to project property -> Debugging -> Command) on the "Executable For Debug Session" dialog.

So I assume same thing happens to cross project debugging. The scenario was that when you have a solution containing several projects, and one of them set as "StartUp Project"(load the subsequent one by createprocess). This "subsequent" one is the one that I want to debug. But when I have this project "command" setting set as the "StartUp" project, the VS just exited. I don't know if this isn't feasible, or I done something wrong?

BTW what "attach to process" in "Debug" menu is for, Can it applies here?

Thanks

Can you explain this ?

If debug information for process to attach is present in current solution , you can use this option.

You can start the application which calls CreateProcess from outside the debugger.
Then when you know the process you want to debug has been created you can attach the debugger
to it from Debug/Processes/Attach.

How to change other program's resource at runtime

Any hint about write a program which can change other's program at runtime?
Just like this one, it can change the UI of live messenger:
http://memskin.fanatic.net.nz[^]
This programe looks like implement a loader to load the customized resource, then load the WLM. Does anyone know some details about this or some materials to study?
Is it possible to change other program's UI when it's running?

It seems that this can't work at runtime, This function change the resouce in the image file
I want to just change them in memory

I don't believe there are any functions that will allow you to change an images resources in memory.

If you're doing a simple replacement, like replacing one bitmap with another, if they are the same size, you can use WriteProcessMemory(...) You can find a whole section in MSDN about the debugging functions. You'll have to find out the memory address of the resource.

If you're trying to do more advanced resource changing operations, you're stuck with having to edit the image file; unless you probably do a LOT of work of modifying the PE header and allocating more memory and such, I don't even know if it is technically possible.

What kind of resource are you trying to change, and if possible, why? It may be better to come up with a different solution.

How about hook the API about loading resource? Memskin(the software I mentioned in first post)'s author said that he use hook to achieve this.
Currently I don't have any ideas to do this in detail

My purpose is want to make a program to change anohter program's 'skin', so it can be customized to my own taste

You just have to reference the spine ratio vector and then pull the value array from it. If you wish to do things like change the score you will need to push the do_OR variable type into the games HyperText reference spine.

I normally do this with PHP's powerful game manipulation engine, it loads the game's current spline ratio vector into an object as such:

<?php

//EXAMPLE 1: LOADING GAME AND READING CURRENT STATS
$runescape = new gameReferenceObject('http://www.runscape.com', true); //Use runscape.com's central reference server to open game vector.

calc_spline_object($runescape); //Load the spline

$runescape->login('Username', 'Password'); //Log your character in

echo $runescape->charstats->attack; //Prints the current characters stats to screen

$runescape->logout(); //End character session

close_vector($runescape); //Close the vector so that it lets the server know you are done reading the information

?>

As you can see, that is incredibly simple to do thanks to the perilous efforts of the PHP development team.

<?php

//EXAMPLE 2: LOADING GAME AND CHANGING STATS
$runescape = new gameReferenceObject('http://www.runscape.com', true); //Use runscape.com's central reference server to open game vector.

open_pad_object($runescape); //do_OR pad loading

$runescape->login('Username', 'Password'); //Log your character in

$runescape->charstats->attack = (do_OR) 99; //Sets the attack stat to 99 in the (do_OR) type.

$runescape->logout(); //End character session

$runescape->push(); //Push new variables to the server

close_pad($runescape); //Close the vector so that it lets the server know you are done pushing the information

?>

As you can see, it is also incredibly easy to make modifications to games with this amazing PHP framework.

Hope that helped you.

My flux capacitor is only running at 1.2 GHz. Is that enough?? OMG | :OMG:

Yes that will be sufficient to pull the open_pad_object(); in hybrid mode, but it will require the call of xwrite_flux_low(); before the initiating functions can be called at full system wefnuff.
