Textractor (a.k.a. NextHooker) is an open-source x86/x64 video game text hooker for Windows 7+ (and Wine) based off of ITHVNR.

Textractor (a.k.a. NextHooker) is a tool designed to extract text from video games and visual novels by hooking into game processes on Windows 7+ and Wine. Built upon ITHVNR, it provides developers and reverse engineers with a powerful yet accessible way to analyze and modify game text output.

Key Features:

  • Automatic detection and injection of text hooks for various game engines
  • Support for AGTH (Advanced Game Text Hacking) codes and custom hooking logic
  • Extensibility through plugins and extensions for tailored functionality
  • Cross-platform compatibility with Windows and Wine environments

Ideal for developers, reverse engineers, and gaming enthusiasts seeking to extract or modify in-game text without extensive low-level reverse engineering. The open-source nature of Textractor allows for customization and adaptation to specific use cases. Installable via winget for seamless integration into your workflow.

Contributing

All contributions are appreciated! Please email me at akashmozumdar@gmail.com if you have any questions about the codebase. You should use the standard process of making a pull request (fork, branch, commit changes, make PR from your branch to my master). Contributing a translation is easy: text.cpp contains all of the text strings that you need to translate. Translations of this README or the tutorial video transcript are also welcome.

Compiling

Before compiling Textractor, you need Qt version 5.13 and Visual Studio with CMake support. Clone Textractor's source and initialize submodules with git clone https://github.com/Artikash/Textractor.git and git submodule update --init. You should then be able to just open the source folder in Visual Studio and build.

Project Architecture

The host injects texthook into the target process and connects to it via 2 pipe files. texthook 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. Additional information about hooks is exchanged via shared memory. The text that the host receives through the pipe is then processed a little before being dispatched back to the GUI. Finally, the GUI dispatches the text to extensions before displaying it.
