Hello, everyone I've joined for a long time and this is my first post.
Ive completed the whole CE tutorial and still I dont know how to make a working CT. Ok this is what I do and please correct me if im doing it wrong.
1. Scan for the first value.
2. Change value.
3. Scan for new value.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until I have 1 adress left.
5. Double click the adress and it appears down the bottom.
6. Save my CT.
Ok everytime i close the game and open it again the value is not found so I have to start a scan everytime. Please teach me how to make a working CT.

The CE Tutorial uses Pointers. And whats the point of creating a CT for the Tutorial?

I never said i was making a CT for the tutorial and Pointers do not work in most circumstances the pointer points to an entirely different adress, which is completely useless. Can you just please give me instructions instead of laugh at my mistakes.

Oh sorry about that. Anyway the value cannot be found because:

And what game you are you trying to make a CT on?

Lots of games actually, for example I'm trying to make a CT on Spider Solitair.
1. I scan 500
2. Move a card
3. Scan 499
4. Click the adress found
5. Make a CT
I save the CT and close SS then I open it but the CT doesnt work even though I pressed attach to SpiderSolitare.
That was just a easy example of my epic failures or trying to make a CT.

Wow the way you do it should work no matter what. Okay, I have my own CT for Spider Solitaire.

Here's my working address for the score. See if it works, because it works for me. (It should work because the address is static)

Well it is Vista but I'm afraid you can't be my mum and find all the adresses for me. I need to make my own. Just tell me how you found out those adresses and i'm im sure Ill learn real quick. And dont say its pointers cause it isnt. it could be multi level pointers... never tried that but who cares Razz

and i think the location of the adress changes everytime and pointers dont work so I pretty much have to stick with memory scanning.

I do use 5.4 and did you know that the location of the adresses change everytime. This is really screwed up. Give a step by step tut of how you succesfully made your CT.

Well the address doesn't change in XP(I have XP) Alright here's how you do it:

1.Get address
2.right click it, click Pointer scan or anything similar
3. Press OK
4. There should only be one pointer, it should be the pointer.
5. Double click it, save, and see if it works

Pointer scan? Never heard of it, well it wasnt in the tutorial. I learnt something already. W8 a minute everytime I pointer scan CE crashes. Thats not good or is pointer scan originally this slow...

Find what writes to the address you find.
Make an AA script to alter the assembly you find.
This will defeat DMA. Which spider solitaire does not have.
It is static memory:
01012F60
spider.exe+12F60
Above are the same address's The spider.exe = 1000000 at the base address
So 1012F60 - 1000000 = 12F60 & spider.exe+12F60 = 01012F60.

But here is your explanation for doing a script:
You see in this image what writes to the address.
