Be it as it may, you still don't know how base values are obtained (the starting point; a XOR b -> how are 'a' and 'b' generated?) Smile

You only know the XOR gets you the result. Still good to being with Wink

Right-click the Value Type dropdown and select Define new custom type (Auto Assembler)

Paste the following and try using the new type to search for your gold.

Ah, logic tells me the script acts as a scan hook, where whenever you scan for a known value, it's passed through the x32/x64 functions for conversion, then looked-up? Smile

Yep, when you scan for a value or display it within a memory record CE first runs the value through your ConvertRoutine. When you try to set the value in your memory record, CE will run your set value through ConvertBackRoutine so the game has what it's expecting. You guys have never done a custom type before?! When you create a new custom type, it gives you some useful comments to explain everything.

In my code above, I only implemented the 64-bit ConvertRoutine to do that XOR logic.
It seemed that the money value was XOR encrypted by the 4-byte value immediately following it.
Not sure if the custom type actually supports a size of 8, but it did seem to populate RAX with the full 8 bytes.

Thanks, Zanzer. No, I've not used the custom type before. I vaguely recall reading about it somewhere on this forum but had since forgotten about it.

I looked through the comments on the default script and couldn't make sense of it. Maybe I am too stupid right now to figure out how to set this up in order to work properly. I've tested it on a few projects so far and have failed to yield any viable results.

How would this need to be set up for a 32-bit target?

Thanks.

Zanzer, based on your example, I can easily write a resources script for StarCraft 2 Smile
