Hi, I'm struggling with getting pointers to life address.
I tried unticking 32-bit alignment, tried max level 6, max offset 2048.
I've found that back in 2012 (older version) it was looking smth like this
"Health: FF2414, 18, C8, C, 2A0, 14
Armor: FF2414, 2D, 97, 1, 6D, 8"
So thats why I thought going >6 max level is overkill, same with max offset.

What I could doing wrong? Actually had same problem 6 months (or even more) ago trying to do same thing, couldn't find definitive answer how to find pointer.

2mod: reading != hacking. Ok, no game name, no one gonna launch it for me anyways.

Generate several pointersmaps, each one after restarting the game. It'll take a bit longer than the regular pointerscan, but afterwards you can compare those pointerlists to i.e. Lvl 15 or so ...

Is the game you want to hack a browser/flash based game?

This game is written in compiled language for sure.

What do you mean by "Generate several pointersmaps"? I'm already getting old adresses broken by exiting to main menu and going back to game.
I'm doing "Pointer Scan for this address - address to find - ok (first scan)."
Then rescan in same window via "Pointer Scanner - rescan memory" = results in 0 pointers.

I have semifresh C# sources for somekind of advanced tool, hoping I could find some clues, but it's too complex I can't even understand what pointers (which seem not being pointers in CE)\offsets are used for each thingy. Really ton of information in those.

Regardless of what you want to consider it, it is not allowed on this forum.
The rules are there for a reason.
