Hey, I made a keystroke manipulation program so that I can use illegal characters in games (Such as greek alphabet and non-keyboard characters) without needing to minimize and copy-paste whatever I need in to the chat.

The application uses a global keyboard hook and SendKeys.Send() to modify my keystrokes in real time, and so far it has worked spectacularly in older games such as Starcraft, and has also done a good job in text-oriented applications such as web browsers.

However, I tried using this program on a game called "GunZ: The duel" (I'm sure some of you are familiar with it) and it encounters an exception when it hits the SendKeys.Send() method. The exception reads: "Unhandled Win32 Exception: Module not found.".

I suspect that the game is either unhooking my global hooks or is somehow evading the spoofing... Does anyone know of a way that I can get around this?

EDIT:

I forgot to mention, Despite my discarding the old keystroke events after my application acquired the keys, GunZ still picked them up and properly parsed the input from the keyboard.

well, i know for sure that gameguard doesnt unhook your global hook. but i do know gamguard does create its own windows global hook too and also hooks certain api's.

p/s: api hooks and windows hooks are 2 different things.

Oh, okay. That actually makes sense. I think it might be hooking the SendKeys.Send() method in an attempt to keep people from using macros.

Thanks for responding!
