 |
|
Hi, ME2 is actually the first game I am trying to use pointers to cheat in, but I think I have a strong enough understanding to do so successfully.. except for this problem I stumble upon every time I try.
I get two opcodes accessing the address (double) that the current character's skill points are stored in. One ends in [esi+04] and the other [edi+04]. Both suggest the same value needed to find this address (currently, 39892E48).
The problem is the next step. I search for that hex value (with the hex button checked, 4 bytes) in a new search and get 0 results..
uh oh. help!?

If you're trying to do this to learn about how to make your own cheats, that's cool...
But just in case you're trying to do this because you simply want lots of skill points... there are multiple other trainers out there that do that - at least one or two of them are on gamecopyworld dot com (I can't post URL's yet? doh) - just in case you didn't know already. 
Cheers

Learn this stuff on another game. It's not beginner-friendly and you'll just get frustrated and come away having done nothing.
@I am Deadmaster, lol. "Try a codecave". Easy to try and sound smart isn't it without even knowing wtf you're on about.

Yes, debugging it to find the pointerpath isn't going to be easy.

Seeing he already found the skill points and is just trying to find a pointer to it, I'd say he already knows how to find it and can change it to anything he wants, I guess he just wants an easy way to access them
If you're really lazy, you could try 5.6's pointerscan, a level 5 scan is most of the time sufficient to find it (it's enough for health and ammo) You'll just have to do a lot of rescanning to filter out the wrong addresses.
But if it's just so you can find it yourself easier, then just do a rescan for the current value, and there's a really good change that what it finds is the correct address (perhaps the pointerpath will shift after 10 seconds, but it gives you the time to find the correct address manually)
and again, if you rescan often enough, you'll get some pretty stable pointers
tip: Disable the option to stop when a static has been found
