Hi,

I was trying to set up a list of hex addresses for a game so I could easily mod how much of an item I have in my inventory so I wouldn't have to click 100 times to buy 100 of the item (I have carpal tunnel)

anyways, oddly i'm finding the values for the items under text strings instead of hex and there's 3 addresses that are all connected to the item. I did many hex comparisons and the values change exactly with the item amount in my inventory so they're all connected to it.

Now here's the problem I need help with:
when i change these values and go back to the game, they automatically change right back to what they were before I modified them! Even if I change all of them at once, freeze them first, etc

what am I doing wrong? or are these values impossible to change.

if anyone has had the same issue and solved it, I'd much appreciate it if you shared how.

the game is quest for infamy if that helps.

Probably a display only value meaning it only changes the on-screen value. Do an unknown value search with different data type and see if you can find the real value.

Alternatively, you can try to debug the display value and find the real value through that but its a time-consuming process.

right that makes sense

yea i bet one is for the inventory display, one is for the battle screen display, etc. that would explain why it's showing up under the text strings.

there's an option i saw that was something like search for what's determining the value on a right click. don't remember exactly what it was called but sounds like something i should try next.

I'll try an unknown value search first because that will be way easier. don't know why I didn't think of that. I'll scan for increases after purchasing more and switch to decreases after using so many items to make it easier. switch it around so it narrows it down faster

thanks!
