Hi,
[? 1] How do I create an API for a game?
[? 2] If this subject is too hard for a novice/intermediate programmer, where do I best find tutorials/resources about API's?
[1]
I asked myself this question, as well as google, yet no easy answers or explanations popped up, so this is where I go when everything else fails.
The reason for asking this is, I downloaded an application that used a so called API-hook, a term which is much unfamiliar to me. My guess is that it is linked with the game's natives and can therefore use its functions and also through this API use the natives from the game to create a chat message in the game. An example would be:
- API sends a query to game, GetLastJoinedPlayer(), and returns the name of the last joined player, "Adam".
- API uses native, SendChatMessage("Adam"+" has joined the game.") and displays in game "Adam has joined the game."
In this case, I want to learn how to create an API for
Warcraft III, such as this program:
Warcraft 3 Banlist
I hope I've expressed my intentions well, otherwise I'll have to explain further.
If this thread is in the wrong section, I apologize
