Well the subject pretty much says it all. I will explain what i have done and a little more though.

Im almost sure that i have the pointer to an object's structure. I know when you select something a static address holds a pointer, if you select soemthing else this static address's value (pointer to obj) changes. I can use this pointer and add offsets to it to get mana/stam/hp name etc. So im pretty sure its the pointer to the object, it works for all objects whether its a npc, object in inventory or other player.

If anyone knows a sure shot way to prove if a object is part of a linked list let me know. But from what i can see in memory and the way the objects behave in memory im pretty sure they are all part of a linked list.

I also know the first couple of bytes in the objects structure can determine what it is. If the first couple of bytes are "H7T" its a object like a potion, if the first couple of bytes are "/&T" then it is a player or a NPC but not a mob. Mob's have another one that i dont recall right now. So i can search for items and people in memory pretty easily.

Now i have been trying to find the offset to the pointer from one object to the next but im not sure how to go about it. I have tried to get to a place in the game where there is just me and another mob and see if the mob's sturcture (mem dump) holds a address to mine and visa versa but as of now that has not been fruitfull. I have also tried searching in the memory dump to for a item (search text "h7t") and searching the next ones memory dump for the previous or next ones address. This second method is flawed because there could be a different type of item in between the two "object" items that is throwing my searching off.

So before i spend a whole lot of time on it i just thought i would fish for ideas and see if anyone else has and good pointers on how to find the offset from one node to the next in a linked list.

If you are wondering im making a program that iterates through all the objects in the memory and does stuff based off the objects. Pretty sure this is a comon thing to do when making farmbots and modifications.
