In F.E.A.R. (good game btw) I found the adress that would control your ammo. I found it to be 01f92819 - 89 0C 90 - mov[eax+edx],ecx. The next time I load the game, CE says that that memory isn't allocated or something like that. Does FEAR use somthing similar to Quake 4 were it loads something in the memory somewere different each time? That adress never worked again for me. Would I have to find a pointer to a dll or something like in Quake 4 (which worked great btw). I would have IMed you but you weren't there. (must be that your in Europe and i'm in US, lol)

Also, a little off topic, you should try and make the find base pointer function go a little faster there. On a 3MB flash game it would have taken hours! Maby optimize the code or something? Finding a pointer on your own is easy, how come the computer cant do it faster!?

Yes, try to find the dll it is in, and then find the address where the game stores the base address of the dll. (Scan readonly memory)

And the computer can't find the base pointer faster because it's not smart enough, there are a lot of stuff going on that can cause somthing to go wrong, like a sub reg just before a [reg+xxx] , or a ininitly looping pointer list. e.g pointer a points to b, b points to c, c points to d, d points to e, e points to c, and then it goes c,d,e,c,d,e,c,d,e,c,d,e,c,d,e.......

But it can find it slower by starting at the other side of the pointer, and you'll see that in ce 5.2

Oh, and about PM'ing. I can't use ICQ anymore, it just doesn't start up again. I've had this several times before and only way to fix it is a reformat, so for the few comming months, you won't be seeing me on icq

Alright, i'll try to look for the base pointer to the dll.

And about IMing, you still use MSN right? I'll try you on that.

Also how would I download the source code for CE off of the public CVS sever. I was a bit confuesed by you post.

Also I have a program called Codeloc by Spookie. It will automatically find the dll and the offset to use. It works better than finding it yourself, don't ya think? Should I upload it here?

Alright, now I have found the dll file that i need. Now how would I go about finding the base pointer of the dll. Would I scan (in hex) for the adress of the dll?

Yes, search for the base address of that dll and see which ones are located in dll memory of the base module (first one in the module list)

Then try them all out. (just add them all, reboot, find the base address of the dll and see which one is still having the right address)
