[SOLVED] EUD Text Detection

I've been through a few pm's with Roy and jjf and still havent gotten this to work.

Basically i'm trying to detect the text Maphack

I've pasted the text into Roy's EudGen with its character
Ran the triggers for player 1 (which i played as)
Added actions to display text "it's working" to verify if the trigger was/wasnt running

After that not working i tried running cheat engine which gave me the same results without text as it did with text. Tests were ran for decimal (4byte), hex (4byte), and text (string). Not sure if i did these correctly.

After not getting anywhere with cheat engine, i decided to revisit Roy's EUDGen and just detect the display text "hola" without any colour, without oblivion running, under player 1, and with "its working" to verify. Surprisingly this didnt even work.

Below are the triggers i attempted to use for detecting Maphack

Maphack EUD




None.

Cartography Artisan

General string detection guide: Section 7: Text-Based EPDs

see Roy's post

You had "Include Space Padding" checked - with that unchecked Roy's EUDGen seemed to work fine with the text pasted from the chk.

Here's what happened with the newest version of Oblivion:

Zynastor must have noticed people making anti-hack EUDs for Oblivion, so he decided to put an end to this. When Oblivion is loaded, no EUD conditions checking for "Maphack:" will return true. This means the text cannot be detected, because Oblivion intercepts it, thereby defeating any EUD measures.

EXCEPT: Since only Oblivion suppresses detection of the "Maphack:" string, you can initially start the game with a display text of "Maphack:" and detect it. If it fails to detect, the user is using Oblivion. This will detect if a user is using Oblivion, even if they aren't toggling Maphack.

Basically, by putting in this little fix, Zynastor gave us a free pass to detect Oblivion users at the beginning of a game.

EDIT: Made the map Mac-friendly.

Ultraviolet -- That's strange, it looks like you targeted the base image file (sometimes people make the mistake of just using the imgur page link which doesn't work for embedding) but it still didn't work it sounds like.

ManCubuS -- Even tried with imgur, doesn't attach.

ManCubuS -- I should try a workaround, thanks! Sadly imgur is blocked in my country for some unknown reason.

NudeRaider -- I think SEN has trouble with https or hotlinking is forbidden. It certainly is nothing about the size, it just fails to get any size. You can get it working if you use imgur and include the actual image link for the img tag. Like this: [img=https://i.imgur.com/ddYqXZa.jpeg]

ManCubuS -- Hey fellas! Anyone knows why when I try to upload an image it says "failed to get image size"? I even tried making it so small. Imgur isn't working here and I tried postimg no luck.
