Make sure you have CE scanning all of the memory, not just 00400000 to 7FFFFFFF like it normally does. It might be possible that the pointer is located at an address less than 00400000. To change how much memory is scanned, just click the 'All' button under 'Memory Scan Options' in the main CE window.

doesnt change a thing... what i noticed sometimes i keep scanning and i got the adress but it takes like 50scans? wtf? or i can and do something in game and scan and sometimes it works? maybe i need to scan when doing something? for example when my requisition/power is changing?

make sure the address is the address you need and isn't overwritten by the execution of the instruction (e.g mov eax,[eax+18]) Then calculate the base address manually yourself.

One common mistake by people is actually believing what ce tells you it thinks is the probable base address

ce doesn't yet understand that a mov eax,[eax+ebx] will overwrite the original value of EAX with the value stored at [eax+ebx] so it'll tell you the base is the value of EAX

In such a case it's usually better to just figure out for yourself what it is by doing basic math
eax+ebx=Y
Y is a known value (it's the address you used "Find what accesses/writes on"
EBX is also a known value

so eax=Y-EBX

dude im 12 years old do u really think we learn about stuff like eax,ebx,Y? damn i got no idea what ure talking about Very Happy

Ill post some info here ok? maybe u can help me figure it out. Very Happy

Edit: Requisition: 05b05eba - fstp dword ptr [eax]

Store Real
The value of pointer needed to find this address is probably
0928E4C4

So i scan for 0928E4C4 in hex 4bytes pick to scan all then scan and i have no results.... why?

Power: 05b05ec2 - fstp dword ptr [eax+04]
Store Real
The value of the pointer needed to find this address is probably
0928E4C4 ( same as requisition just when i find adress i put the offset when adding manualy... so i cant find the 0928E4C4 adress in hex.... why?
