Cheat Engine

[KGBA]

Up to this point I have passed all steps of the tutorial. But upon completion on this step I get a access violation every time.
I'm running windows 7, 64 bit. Tutorial is x86_64.

Thanks for any help.

UPDATE:

Well, I did go through every step to 7 and I still got the access violation. Here is the code...


[ENABLE]
//code from here to '[DISABLE]' will be used to enable the cheat
alloc(newmem,2048) //2kb should be enough
label(returnhere)
label(originalcode)
label(exit)

newmem: //this is allocated memory, you have read,write,execute access
add [rbx+00000748],2

originalcode:


exit:
jmp returnhere

"Tutorial-x86_64.exe"+2B5A9:
jmp newmem
nop
returnhere:




[DISABLE]
//code from here till the end of the code will be used to disable the cheat
dealloc(newmem)
"Tutorial-x86_64.exe"+2B5A9:
dec [rbx+00000748]
//Alt: db FF 8B 48 07 00 00

---------------------------------------------------

I have tried this about 15 times with several tutorials methods and no luck. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks again.

post the script that you are injecting and we might give a hint on what you're doing wrong

[Geri]

Or he just get an access violation because of some tutorial bug. When I skip some steps, sometimes I have access violation too at random points.

[KGBA]

Ok. I did skip some steps. I will try it again doing all the steps and let you know how it goes.

Thanks for your replies.

I just tried the tutorial too and got an access violation when going from step 4 to 5.

Whenever i try to "Change value" on step 5, i also get an access violation.

Didn't skip any steps.

perhaps your previous editing caused a problem (especially if freezing stuff)

as for the code injection part, it looks like the code injection has a problem with 64-bit processes (Specifically when used inside auto assembler, standalone works fine)

So try the 32-bit tutorial instead

[Dark Byte]

edit:
ok, this is easily fixable by using a new feature in ce 6.0 : Specifying the alloc region

try this script instead:

[Geri]

Aha, so there are new AA features in CE 6.0 after all.
Is there, any way to figure them out without reading and understanding the whole source of CE? Like some log or something? (I know SVN but it is waaaaay too long and it containes all bugfixes, not just new features.)

[Dark Byte]

it's in the helpfile. Of course, not really marked as new, but just compare it to ce 5.6's help

anyhow: ALLOC(allocname,sizeinbytes, preferedregion OPTIONAL) //same as label, but allocates the memory it points to itself

and as far as I remember it's the only difference, and doesn't really have a use for 32-bit users

[Geri]

Yeah really, I didn't read the already existing AA options carefully because I didn't think they have been changed.

It is still good to know, thanks.

[KGBA]

Thank you both for the help. The code correction of coarse did the trick.

I have been using CE 6 and my n00b question would be, is there a step I should be doing that was not included in the tutorial to have this line auto into the code or do I need to put it in manually each time?

Thanks for your time on this.

[Dark Byte]

just do it manually for now.
Of course, seeing the current amount of 64-bit games out at the moment I don't think it's going to be a big problem
