# Textractor
[日本語](https://github.com/Artikash/Textractor/blob/master/README_JP.md)
## Overview
**Textractor** (a.k.a. NextHooker) is an open-source x86/x64 text hooker for Windows/Wine based off of [ITHVNR](http://www.hongfire.com/forum/showthread.php/438331-ITHVNR-ITH-with-the-VNR-engine).
![How it looks](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/330538905072041994/486629608456847360/unknown.png?width=1083&height=353)
## Downloads
Releases of Textractor can be found [here](https://github.com/Artikash/Textractor/releases).
Previous releases of ITHVNR can be found [here](https://github.com/mireado/ITHVNR/releases).
## Features
- Highly extensible
- Auto hook many game engines (including some not supported by VNR!)
- Hook text using /H "hook" codes (most AGTH codes supported)
- Extract text using /R "read" codes ([Guide](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcEgjCoww5w))
## Extensions
See my [Example Extension project](https://github.com/Artikash/ExampleExtension) to see how to build an extension.<br>
See the extensions folder for examples of what extensions can do.
## Contributing
All contributions are appreciated! Please email (no, I'm not busy!) me at akashmozumdar@gmail.com if you have any questions about the codebase.<br>
You should use the standard process of making a pull request (fork, branch, commit changes, make PR from your branch to my master).<br>
Contributing a translation is easy: just translate the strings in include/text.h as well as this README.
## Compiling
Before compiling *Textractor*, you should get Visual Studio with CMake support, as well as Qt version 5.11<br>
You should then be able to simply open the folder in Visual Studio, and build. Run Textractor.exe.
## Project Architecture
The host (see GUI/host folder) injects vnrhook.dll (created from the vnrhook folder) into the target process and connects to it via 2 pipe files.<br>
Host writes to hostPipe, vnrhook writes to hookPipe.<br>
vnrhook waits for the pipe to be connected, then injects a few instructions into any text outputting functions (e.g. TextOut, GetGlyphOutline) that cause their input to be sent through the pipe.<br>
Additional information about hooks is shared through a file view (a.k.a. section object) that is mapped to a reference to the TextHook class.<br>
The text that the host receives through the pipe is then processed a little before being dispatched back to the GUI.<br>
Finally, the GUI dispatches the text to extensions before displaying it.
