Hi, I've tried searching for the money/resources, I can find a 4 byte address but it does nothing. So I check to see if I can find a pointer from that address but the pointer scanner takes a very long time and I'm really not that great at finding pointers. There are no offsets I can see in the instruction code when I check the "more information" tab and putting a search for the recommended value that window shows gives me no static addresses. I'm really stumped on this one.

The other thing I am attempting to do is making a "Promote unit" cheat. I haven't started on it, but what I was thinking was finding the address that stores the experience for the unit, and then finding the address of the selected unit. And then check another unit and see if the experience address is spaced as far apart as the first. Then writing a script to start from the address the selected unit is at and edit it's experience. Maybe someone has done something like this before?

Anyways, I could really use a hand at finding the resources for the game if anything. Thanks.

I'm not good at hacking
But, if you are trying to look for money, you scan your money amount now (4 bytes exact value) then scan, then build something, then scanned for a decreased amount

Uhh no, it's not quite that simple in this case and as stated, the address I found is just an "echo". Need to find the pointer.

Turning on Access exceptions found the resources. I'm stoked . Guess what I was searching for needed to see the value before it was executed.

you made the tutorial of cheatengine?
try to find the oppcode which is changing it, then the pointer to it.

Ok, I'm running into another problem with a multi level pointer.

When searching for the pointer, I can find it's first level. When I choose to find out what writes to the pointer and go back to the game and change the value, my pointers value becomes "??".

Not sure what to do here .
