Posted: Sun Jan 13, 2019 6:28 am Post subject: Help Understanding How To Add Base Address + Offsets On Calc |
|
|
I need help adding these Hex numbers together so they match the values Cheat Engine comes up with.
I try to add 0457A57C+10 and get 457A58C using Hex on Windows Calculator. Why is this different from what Cheat Engine Shows? Cheat Engine Shows 0457A57C+10 = 0873CC88. Please help
Thanks.

such questions have been answered a lot, and you should have had noticed the square-brackets [ ] which technically indicates a ptr or in other words reference in memory / value of some address.
Code: | [0457A57C+10] = 0873CC88.
equivalent to
[0457A58C] = 0873CC88 |
cheat engine read the contents of static address and see what it points to, then it takes the pointed address plus the mentioned offset and do another read operation.
ce will repeat that until final offset is summed and contents are read, and for sure it will keep reading to update the address-list.

In short, because after it adds the offset it then reads from that address, indicated by the []s. That's why it's not just the same as 457A57C+10+0+24+90+38 = 457A57C+FC = 457A678
