Every time i try to inject my code, the game just crashes Sad
Code:

[ENABLE]
//code from here to '[DISABLE]' will be used to enable the cheat

aobscan(INJECT,88 43 1C  D9 83 DC 00 00 00  83 EC 08  DD 1C 24  D9 83 D8 00 00 00  83 EC 08  DD 1C 24  E8) // should be unique
alloc(newmem,$1000)

label(code)
label(return)

newmem:
push ecx
push edx
//xor ecx,ecx
//xor edx,edx
mov ecx,[[_gamebase+34]+38]//A
//mov ecx,[_gamebase+34]
//mov ecx,[ecx+38]
mov edx,[_gamebase+4C]//B
shr edx//B=B/2
sub ecx,edx//A=A-B
// Convert integer to float (both signed):
//movd xmm0,ecx
//CVTsi2ss xmm0,xmm0
//fmov [ebx+D8],xmm0
fild dword ptr [ecx]
fstp dword ptr [ecx]
mov [ebx+D8],ecx //move result into [ebx+D8]


pop edx
pop ecx
code:
  sub esp,08
  fstp qword ptr [esp]
  jmp return

INJECT+15:
  jmp newmem
  nop
return:
registersymbol(INJECT)

[DISABLE]
//code from here till the end of the code will be used to disable the cheat
INJECT+15:
  db 83 EC 08 DD 1C 24

unregistersymbol(INJECT)
dealloc(newmem)

Can someone help me pls?
I tried everything i could imagine and nothing worked as expected. I checked that the code is injected and run from where it should be.

He did try to help you, the code he posted is different from the one you posted, take a closer look

That way?

im not sure about anything, this is actually my first try to make script on my own Embarassed

that "fst dword ptr [ecx]" was "fstP dword ptr [ecx]" before

im not even sure if my pointing on the values is correct
that _gamebase is address made by
Code:
globalalloc(_gamebase,4)
//later inside
mov [_gamebase],eax

with 4bytes holding address to the base of the the games interesting stuff
soo I dont know if i should point to it Question
mov ecx,[[_gamebase+34]+38]
or
mov ecx,[[[_gamebase]+34]+38]
or
mov ecx,[_gamebase+34]+38
or
mov ecx,[[_gamebase]+34]+38
or
separately like in the commented thing below it???

that is part of the problem Crying or Very sad
im not sure how to address values in memory

i just found out that this
[img]X.png - normal way[/img]
is the same as this
[img]X better.png - better way[/img]
(cant post urls yet ??!!! Evil or Very Mad )

how can i use this same address in
Code:

mov ecx,???

how can i move the value pointed in the pictures into register?

Move it step by step

push eax
mov eax, [gamebase]
mov eax, [eax+34]
mov ecx, [eax+38]
pop eax

make sure to do null-checking because like cooleko said will crash your game if pointer is invalid

thx

soo actually using invalid pointed causes it to crash (not just the fact it is invalid)
correct?

soo
mov ecx,[[[_gamebase]+34]+38]
is in fact impossible(make it crash) ???

Also as i stated in the other comments, im new to writing decent scripts soo how to do this null checking?
I dont know what value represents null (00 or ??), soo whats the code to check for null, and do i have to check every time i move or just on the end, at start?

Ok guys, after all the struggle i found out how to do that (int -> float) conversion.
I made custom program in C# compiled and build it into .exe and than hacked using Cheat Engine XD
and it was doing the conversion like this
Code:

push ecx //ecx = int value to convert
fild dword ptr [esp]
fstp dword ptr [esp]
fld dword ptr [esp]
add esp,04
fstp dword ptr [ebx+D8] //finished float into destination

but i dont understand why it does it this wierd way?
also it worked without the middle like this
Code:

push ecx //ecx = int value to convert
fild dword ptr [esp]

fstp dword ptr [ebx+D8] //finished float into destination

Can someone explain why it works like this but not like this pls ?
Code:

fild dword ptr [ecx]
fstp dword ptr [ebx+D8]

Please explain all of this to me Shocked ?

Because ECX holds the value, not the address. There are no x87 instructions to move floating point values between the FPU registers and the CPU registers.

It depends on compiler settings. Enabled/disabled optimizations, etc.

I personally would use something like this:
Code:
push ecx
fild dword ptr [esp]
add esp,04
fstp dword ptr [ebx+D8]



or this:
Code:
cvtsi2ss xmm0,ecx
movss [ebx+D8],xmm0

(if xmm0 is used, you can try xmm1 up to xmm7)

WOW thx i thought that was the problem but i just ignored it XD
but can u explain more in depth how that works?

i get that if u push the ecx than its value will be at [esp] correct?
but why the "add esp,4" Question or it has to be "add esp,04" ?

also how can i know if xmm0 isnt used?
can i push/pop xmm0 ?

Yes, by pushing values (can either be registers like "push ecx" or memory like "push [ebx+1234]") you place them on top of the stack, which is referenced to by esp, so the values can be accessed through [esp].

There is absolutely no difference between "add esp,4" and "add esp,04".
But the instruction is needed to revert the changes made by "push ecx".
In detail, when pushing a value onto the stack, the stack pointer (esp) is decremented by 4, while popping values with "pop eax" for example increments the stack pointer.
So you can see that the stack is accessed in reverse order (decrementing esp results in more space, while inrementing esp results in less space).
Maybe you get an idea of the "add esp,04" by rewriting the push instruction.
Instead of "push ecx" you could also write:
sub esp,04
mov [esp],ecx

As to how to know if xmm0 is used or not: You can either look at the disassembly of the current function or just try it out by moving your value into xmm0 and see if that has any effect (weird behaviour or crashes) on the application.

As to saving a xmm register, it's not as simple as "push xmm0".
Saving xmm0 on the stack:
sub esp,10 //16 bytes = 128 bit = size of a xmm register
movdqu [esp],xmm0

Restoring it from the stack:
movdqu xmm0,[esp]
add esp,10

Soo i could do
Code:

push ecx
fild dword ptr [esp]
fstp dword ptr [ebx+D8]
pop ecx

rigth?

or the pop have to/can be before the fstp?
what does the fild even do? is it like push int into stack (or special float stack?)

"what does the fild even do?"
fild dword ptr [esp]

f - FPU instruction
i - integer
ld - load
dword ptr - it will load 32bit signed integer (m32int)
[esp] - from the top of stack

those do the same thing:
Code:
push ecx
fild dword ptr [esp]
fstp dword ptr [ebx+D8]
pop ecx

Code:
push ecx
fild dword ptr [esp]
pop ecx
fstp dword ptr [ebx+D8]

Code:
push ecx
fild dword ptr [esp]
add esp,04
fstp dword ptr [ebx+D8]

Code:
sub esp,04
mov [esp],ecx
fild dword ptr [esp]
fstp dword ptr [ebx+D8]
add esp,04

Code:
lea esp,[esp-04]
mov [esp],ecx
fild dword ptr [esp]
fstp dword ptr [ebx+D8]
lea esp,[esp+04]
