|
|
Hi all!
I want to modify the 'Food' value in Battle Brothers. I found the address for the displayed value but I'm unable to locate the one for the source value.
I figured I should find out what writes to the first one and progress from there. The program found one instruction. Problem is, I can't make sense of how it works.
I've tried back tracing it and adding every address I could find (between []) but I haven't been successful. Could you help me?
Here's a screenshot of what I got (the 'Food' value is 151, see upward left part of the game screen):

Probably the effective value is managed by the game in a different way and it could be a totally different value type.
By the way if you right click on the instruction in the disassembler and you click "Find out what addresses this instruction accesses" you can see which addresses the given instruction is accessing to.
Have you tried by doing an All type scan starting by an unknown initial value and Dec / Inc?

Hi Lewcow! Thanks for your answer!
Yes, that's what I thought!
Yes, I did that and got a few hundreds addresses. Tried those with higher counts but it didn't do anything.
Yes, I did that. Sadly it didn't return any working address. I'm thinking the value may be inverted (like increasing when it decreases on display).

It could be also that (i don't think it is)
Anyway remember to gain or to spend some food after freezing the value to let the game refresh the graphical address

So, I did a new scan this time with changed/unchanged values.
It came up with several addresses. Every time my food supply changes, their values also change. But, the numbers don't make sense (see notepad in the screenshot, food value displayed is up and below are 4 bytes values for relevant addresses) and I don't know how to change them.

chances are: your value is encrypted, still no big deal.

Dear OldCheatEngineUser, I'm glad to hear that! I thought about back tracing the values I got but I've had trouble doing it with the displayed value (the addresses that access it are used for other things in game and the breakpoints I set trigger before I can change the food value).
So, if you have any pointer (ah!) or knowledge you can share with me on this, I'd be thankful!

I found something on youtube btw watch?v=ijdyjeoxr7g
And people are saying that the problem could be related by an anti-cheat patch they applied.
They also say to try opening CE first, then launching the game
Give it a try

Hey Lewcow, thanks for sticking with me !
Money actually isn't an issue! It's a simple float that you can scan right away.
So that's why I'm surprised Food doesn't work the same. Though, in fact, it consists of inventory stacks and takes various forms (unlike Gold).

you can trace the instruction thats writing to the address (in many cases it will lead you faster to the value)
about the addresses that are accessed by the instruction, you can put a conditional break-point. (e.g. eax==0x123abc)
