Hello guys,

I am kinda new to this and would like to create some trainers, in order to do this, I of course need to understand how to find base address and offsets to different values.

I tried it with the game "Binding of Isaac Rebirth" and the coins ingame.

I do it like this atm:
1. I start up the game
2. find the correct dynamic address for coins
3. Pointerscan it, 2047 offsetvalue and lvl 5
4. close the game and rescan the List until I have a small amount of pointers

Problem 1: When I first tried this, after some rescans, the result would be 0, so I changed the offsetvalue to 4098

5. now having 140 Pointers, not filtering out many after each rescan anymore so I take one Pointer by doubleclicking it
6. Close the game and restart it

Problem 2: The pointer should show the value of the Coins ingame, shouldnt it? It just says P->???????? and value is aswell ??

What am I doing wrong?

sometimes in huge 64bit games, you need to increase offset level, and offset value.

offset level = 5 by default
offset value = 2047 by default

i usually setup my offset level to 7 < for 64bit games.
and offset value to 2710 < 64bit games too.
and very rarely 2EE0 < offset value.

in case you didnt end up with a nice result of that ptr scan. then you can use and make an aob script that will automatically find the address for you.


EDIT: sometimes the address+value wont show up until you perform some action.

for example, address DDDDAAAA hold our health value, we do PTR scan and we end up with some result.
while in game we will see that p->DDDDAAAA hold 100 < which is our health.
but when we close the game and re open it, we will see something different like p->DDDDAAAA hold 255 < 255 aint our health value.
but as soon as we get some damage or loss health it will changes and hold our health value.

Geez Louise, what are your computer specs because mine struggles at LV 5
and has major slow down to freezing when I put it a LV 5.
I have a slowpoke computer. (SEE PIC)

Uncheck compressed pointer scan file first because it will cause wrong pointers sometimes. Example: If I do a pointer scan for 103E44BE it
give me 103E44C0. This has happen to me with some codes where the
offset is +2.

Also try checking max different offsets per node and set it to 3 and since
obviously your computer can handle it increase the maximum offset
value to 99999.

Have you tried unchecking some of the advanced options one at a time
and see if you get anything?

Hope some of this helps you. :}

well, come on everybodys know amd is useless.
low price low performance.

i have tried pointer scan with max offset value of 2710 and offset level 6, on i3 with 8gb ram. to be honest it was bad and it took about 7-10mins.

also tried on i5 with 16gb ram for offset value 2EE0 and level was 7.
it was faster than i3.

but it remains shit, scanning for pointer can beat up any processor and ram.
even if you have i7-7700k « latest model. overclocked, still these scans can take long time higher offsets value and level.



btw, i saw an amd processor that have 8cores, running at 8ghz. and it couldnt beat up intel i7-6700k overclocked. LOL
