Ok, so what I want to do is in the game ShadowFlare, which I've asked for help with before, I'd like to be able to come up with a hack that would allow me to say, drop a sword I have on me, and have a sword drop, but still have my sword in inventory. anyone ever do a hack like this before? I'm not even sure if it's possible, but I've been trying. I've tried putting the sword in an inventory slot(both equipped and non) then searched for unknown initial value, drop the sword, scan for changed value, equip/pick it up, and repeat. The only thing I come up with is a few addresses that are 0 when dropped, 1 when in inventory. I've tried different byte sizes, hex, all the same thing. Anyone have any ideas?

Well you found the ones that are 0 and 1,

Thats pretty much it. 1 is for you have it and 0 is for you dont.
But i doubt the address will do any good seeing how this sounds like a multi player game and the real items are stored on the server.

But if you want to try,

Get the sword in your inventory so the address is a 1. Then freeze it.
Then drop the sword and see what happens. Other then that you out of luck.

The game is a single player game that you can play online if want, bt mainly a singleplayer game.

it's not that simple when it comes to items, usually it has to have item location, value, equip or in inventory, etc.
if u found the value 1 or 0, note the values near to that and note the changes.

Thanks. I actually was doing that, but it was late...I'll gie it another try.

Another question...once you get far into this game, you have to venture to different places to get different rare medicines and such to gie to wizards to get 4 playing cards, which you can and have to use to play blackjack against 2 different wizards. It it necessary to beat each one at least once, but subsequent wins gives you a lot of gold and a premium armor or weapon as a prize. Anyone have any idea how to hack this to win everytime? My idea was unrandomizer...maybe I could get it to always give me the same two cards..like Kings or something, and you win most of the time like that. My problem is that unrandomizer really screws witht he game. As soon as I try to play blackjack, the cards start to be dealt, and my last card freezes, the game freezes, my computer goes into standby mode,, then come sout of standby mode,a nd I have to alt+tab to CE ( and it takes a while to come up) and untick unrandomizer. Maybe its just that I dont know how to use that feature. Any ideas on that? I'm also looking at other ways...like how the game knows which cards are out...I've tried searching for a value that equals my initial two cards, then a next search with the new value after a hit, but that returns nothing. I tried searching individual card values, like an array of byes...thinking maybe It stores what cards come up like that..so I've had quite a few cards a few times...like a 3,2,Ace,2,5,4,6. I've tried looking for sections of code that contain those values all ina row or, as every other value array I've found, with several bytes, like 6, in between each value, but even that isnt giving me anything yet. My idea was that if I could find the addy's, I could manipulate the game if I could figure out the values and make the game think I always have blackjack initially. I'm starting to wonder if the game uses different values other than the cards number to determine which card is randomly picked. Unrandomizer seesm to be a difficult feature to use. I tried mesing with its setting, changing the default number to like 52 ( I thought 52 card total so 1 out of 52?) But I guess that not how its used. Any help or ideas is appreciated.

Maybe you could try 51 or 53? It could be counting from 0-51 or counting 0-53, where 53 = bust. I don't know the specifics of CE yet, but maybe you could also do a search for things that change while playing the card game/cards being dealt, or search for addresses that write to others / are written from one, etc.

Well, I did find a static address that determines whether or not you are playing. 1 if playing...0 if not. But that doesnt really help. I always get down to 3 addresses , the static one and the others that change with it. As far as unrandomizer goes, i'lltry againwith 51 and 53 tonight when I have time. Thanks for that idea.

EDIT

Didnt work. Not sure if this helps, but when I set the static addy to 1 when not already in a game of blackjack, I can move around attack and use magic, as I can hear it all. Does this give anyone any ideas on how to figure out whats controlling the blackjack game?

EDIT 2

I'm thinking Im on the right track here, as if the static addy is 1, the blackjack window is open, 0 its closed. Anyone have any ideas where to go from there? Like some way to find out what chunk of code goes with the blackjack window? If I play a game and lose, then change the value to 1, the wondow is upw ityht he same exact cards as last time, only i cant do anything because that handwas over...and I chang eit backt o 0. If I start, then change it to 0, Im back in the game, then if I chang eit back to 1, Im back playing blackjack and able to play. Not sure if that helps or not.

I've been reading the post on finding child windows..does this sound like the same thing?
