CO and CheatEngine

shitboi · 10/12/2008, 02:08

I think i am too outdated with the changes in CO. Can someone enlighten me, why i can no longer find memory addresses of char stats anymore? I was doing it the traditional way, exact search, increment/decrement search, but to no avail.

Please advise.

What stats do you have trouble finding? HP, Mana, Arrows, Lucky Time ... are dynamic now. Stats like level, VPs, money and so on are still static.

I am trying to find HP/mana actually. I know how to find the pointer to a dma'd value, but right now i can't even find the pointed value, lol. Please advise.

@ iamhawtness

Thanks for qouting me that. I am aware of that thread. In fact i have browsed through a lot of resources on this section and also programming section. But those all doesn't seem to help much.

I do not know asm, but i sort of understand the trick in making use of empty bytes in a exe to write in more asm codes. But right now my main problem is that, why can't i use cheatengine to search for values anymore? Did CO change it's codes to detect cheat engine? Do i just to use undetectable cheat engine in order to find out the address?

I am more interested in why than just how. Please advice.

Wow, I never even knew this..
I just tried it, and I couldn't find the values either.
I apologize for my stupidness lol. This is rather weird, I'll try looking into it

What patch is this? (Since when did it start?)

*EDIT*

I was able to find the arrow count; HP and mana aren't on readable form. If it was you wouldn't need to do the "trick" of reading hp. lol

Arrows :

Code:

ushort ArrowCount = ReadUShort(ReadUInt(0x0057C614) + 0x5A);

P.S You had me worried for second, lol.

@tanelipe

I was trying it out for the newest patch, or I'd say recent 2-3 patches. I can't find much useful addresses using cheat engine anymore. Can you explain a bit why is that so?

As for your thread on reading hp, it is awesome, but i can't really understand, lol. I'll go back to complete my C++ oop first and then learn some asm related stuffs. Just too much to learn and too little time, lol.

tanelipe · 10/14/2008, 17:42

I was able to read X,Y, MapID etc. Could you say what values you can't find (Excluding mana,hp, arrows, lt all of those are dynamic) And as far as I know Mana and HP are in some sort encrypted form.

shitboi · 10/14/2008, 19:40

Oh, that should explain why. I thought that the HP and mana values are no longer that direct anymore. It is about 5-7 patches ago( i might remember wrongly), I realized that i got to search for double the HP value to find it's temp address.

So, only HP, mana, arrows addresses are dynamically allocated?

I do not know much about asm, but i know it is nearly as close to machine code and therefore is able to perform a lot of amazing tasks. When you're debugging the client, can you do a direct search for current hp/mana/arrow values and locate their address? In other words, does the "encryptions" you're talking about come into play when you were debugging for the hp/mana/arrow address?
