Ollydbg + Understanding?

Hey guys
As you may have seen i like to try and work things out for myself before begging in the forums for someone to do everything for me, but i was wondering if there was any "guide" on how to use Ollydbg with Shaiya...

I'm new to the whole hex editing and Olly thing, so i kinda dont know where to start when i'm looking for an address, or anything else for that matter.

The reason i'm asking is cuz i plan on stopping exp from pvp kills (and maybe doing some other things with the ps_Game.exe) but i dont want someone to just tell me exactly what to change. I wanna understand and be able to work it out myself, with a little help.

So, to anyone that has knowledge in this stuff (mostly aimed towards Earthcrush from what i've seen) could you give me a few hints, on where to start, or even how to find out which "address" links to which "change" in the game.

I've looked around google, and havnt really found much in terms of Shaiya (just making keygens) and i dont think i've seen any posts here talking in any detail about it.

Any help is as always, very welcomed. Thanks :)

That taught me a lot of what I know. :D

Thanks Bane, i'll give that a look right away.

It's good to actually know what you're doing with hex and stuffs, rather than just being told "go to this address, and change xxx to yyy" xD
Hopefully i can work out what i'm trying to do with the pvp kills, so wish me luck :P
