[Mshure]

Im hoping this post doesnt get read and brushed off I could really use the help, Im new to this and trying to learn as much as i can about memory but im really noob, Ive scripted b4 and programmed in vb6 and a lil in the .net, but memory is totally new.
I dont think I fundamentuly understand how memory stuff works, with Pointers and addresses If someone could plz explain how memory works and what address and pointers mean and do would be awesome

But there is this game I love playing its a really old multiplayer game pre 2k. I am trying to modify the memory for it so I never run out of ammo.

When scanning I found the address but its wierd cuz when I found it, I changed the value to higher then what it originally was but every time my guy fired his weapon the value would be what it originally was minus the bullet fired....

I tried scanning for it in float and double but found no values for the gun ammo, but when i search in 2byte 4 byte 8 byte I could always find it, but it didnt matter witch byte I used to search it cuz it always had the same address....

here is the memory im trying to edit:

00492BF2 - MOV [edx],ax

Then it says the value of the pointer is 02F695F4

and EDX = the pointer.....

for the OpCode it says
00492BF2 - MOV [edx],ax
00492BF5 - PUSH 01

An explaining on how memory works and what its doing would be very helpful and a solution to this problem please n ty.
