Cheat Engine

[three0s]

I was following some basic tutorial on how to write a trainer in C++. And I found my base pointer through pointer scanning.
I got "somegame.exe"+offset as my starting point (followed by few other offsets which I know how they work). Now my question is what is this offset? And how do I access this location in C++? Say I have the handle to the exe, what should be the next step?

Thanks in advance!

Edit:
I think I found how to solve it, would still appreciate if someone can give a detailed solution (or explaination). Thanks.

CreateToolhelp32Snapshot();
ProcessFirst/Next() // Find your game process, in this case somegame.exe
Module32First/Next() ; // To grab the module/game's base address. You can also use this in case the cheat is in a dll not an exe.

The structure (MODULEENTRY32) should contain module's base address, use that and add the offset to it and there goes your cheat address.

That is what CE does, "somegame.exe"+offset is basically "somegame.exe base"+offset.

Hope this helps
