I am trying to hack the gold deposits of warcraft 2. I was able to do it with warcraft 1 but 2 doesn't seem to be working. I don't like to use cheat codes if I can help it but I don't like the idea that Warcraft has a limited number of resources, it feels like I'm on a time limit. So I like to give my gold mines unlimited resources but the only value type that seems to identify the gold in a mine is the string kind, but I can't change it.

EDIT: The game needs an ISO image mounted to run if that is a clue to anybody, and I've tried hacking both the program and the ISO but neither works.

A string will be the UI anyway, it'll be the wrong value. Search again and instead of narrowing it down to just one, narrow it down to a handful and then see which address affects the gold value.

I changed {value type} to [all] and even less results show up. This usually happens when I use the "all value types" so I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but the only box I see checked when I do use it is "rounded (extreme)."
I'm using CE version 7.2 if that makes any difference.

Default rounding is usually enough. I would update Cheat Engine to 7.3 anyway because the new features are soo worth it. In that case search for a range of values. Say your gold is 1000, search between 900 and 1100, again, using all for the type.

I got version 7.3 up and running, I tried searching for a range of values and all value types and it still didn't work. HOWEVER, I did find this site (*1*) that looks like it offers trainers for the game. It looks like it's the right version of the game as its for "Warcraft II BNE_dx" but I don't know what the "_dx" part at the end means.
I'm afraid I don't quite know how to use it. I followed the instructions,
1. I have CE version 7.3 installed
2. I double clicked the table (I assume they were talking about the table when they meant .ct file
3. I selected the game in the process list
4. I chose to keep the list
5. I was able to check the box for selected object BUT not for the gold/oil in a selected area.
I think I'm supposed to tell the game "where" that deposit is in the game but I don't know how to do that. Is there a way to identify addresses in the game? I tried changing the address to numbers randomly but it seems to stay as ?????. It says changing the value from 0-1 but it just turns red and resets to ??

I can't comment any further since I don't own the game. As for the dx, it could be referring to DirectX.

I was able to figure it out. The game doesn't count the last 2 zeros in the deposits. So 9900 gold is really 99 gold. I divided by zero and set the value type to 2 bytes and that got the number I needed.

Thank you guys for trying to help.
