Ok, in the mentor rewards there is +1 stone contribution from the mentor's apprentices, and whenever an apprentice kills a monster and it drops a +1, this value for +1 stone contribution increases by 0.01.
So here is what i have done... I've made a program that will monitor values inside co, and play a sound effect whenever the value changes... To use it you log in ur mentor (containing only one apprentice, your apprentice hunter), run my program, enter the memory address for +1 stone contribution (obtained from cheatengine), and then log in ur apprentice, and then that its, hunt w/ ur apprentice... whenever ur apprentice kills a monster that drops a plus +1, my program will make a ding sound (using windows low-battery notification sound effect) and u will know there is a +1 on the ground somewhere (start looting).
The whole program is very short, i list the code so u know its not a key-logger.. u can compile it and run it yourself.
notice that it uses this address atm (005DAE38)... that is not actually the address of +1 stone progress (i am still yet to find the address of that), it is the address of the Y-map coordinate, so atm when u move it will make a ding sound.
I hoping that someone here could use cheatengine and help me find the address for +1 stone progress in mentor reward, its gonna be hard to find as it will require a fair bit of hunting. But I'm pretty sure finding this address will be worth the effort, bcuz we will finally be able to detect +1's on the ground.
hope this will be helpful, and hope someone can help me w/ that +1 stone progress value address.
cheers :)
Edit:
Sorry guys i didn't realize this post actually worked, I had slow internet that night and didn't see this post show up. So I ended up posting this under "CO Programming", i thought it would be more accurate, search the title there if u wanna see it and an up to date source.
For anyone interested, the address for +1 stone contribution is stored at 005DBAA8 within the address space of the conquer process. I've attached a fully working, runnable version that needs no DLLs "console co +1 notifier" that can be used for testing purposes.
What i realize now is that i need to hook on the mentor rewards button, and send a mouse click event to it every 1 second or so via the event queue. That way i can have the +1 stone progress continuously updated client side. (i have not yet worked out how to do that)

Unfortunately _fobos_ is right, +1 stone contribution is not updated frequently. I found the client-side address for +1 stone contribution, and it is only updated when the user opens the Mentor Rewards window (and does not keep up to date if u leave that window open).Quote:
_fobos_: Well not to discourage you but i tried a similar thing some months ago, problem is that often its just really inaccurate the reward isnt instantly updated but dont let me discourage you :p
