|
|
Okay, so I know Cheat Engine can be used to scan for Text Strings, say, a Character's name, and then you can change that name to anything within the Character Limit (I.E., 4-Letter Name to another 4-Letter Name), but whenever the game goes to a new Cutscene, the names revert. Is there a way I can change all instances of the name, and keep it that way anytime I load up the game and Cheat Engine together?

An AA injection script would be a good route, but it sounds like the tutorial that comes with cheat engine would be the best place to start. You can change the name, the size, the speed, basically any value or procedure. But you have to dig.

Would you say that the Tutorial is easily understood, or is it going to have lots of big words that a basic user like myself won't understand?

So, I dug around a bit, and while I can, say, change an item's quantity or give myself lots of in-game money in an RPG, I still can't figure out this name thing. All I could find was that AA means Auto Assemble. Sorry for my lack of understanding, but I just can't find it.

Yeah. All it did was teach me how to change an HP Value.

It goes over a lot more then just finding a value.

My lack of patience got the better of me then. I'll look it over again.

Yeah, this requires a lot of patience and practice.
But with the tutorial, it will show you how to inject code, from there you just hook this string you want to change and set it's value like any thing else.
Code: | mov [{some address}],'My N'
mov [{some address}+4],'ame'0 |

That could mean a number of things. These are the most likely:
- you did not change the right value
- there is no right value because the game reads it from some data file every time it's used (the one you found was just an old copy)
- the game resets the value before use
If you're sure that it's the right address, then you need to figure out what's writing the name and stop that from happening (or allow writing only your own value).
Good luck!
