Hi there everyone, im having some trouble hacking my shields of a ship.(This is a Space sim game)

The code is shared by all other enemy ships/friendly ships (AI). Now I have read aloot of tutorials on here about dealing with shared memory but I have not been able to apply its techniques at all to this problem of mine. I was, however, able to successfully hack my HULL of my ship by following the guides that was provided here, and also was able to find out the player only hull value, BUT the same technique isnt working for my shields. For my hull, I just basically "mov'ed" some values in and it kept my hull fixed to my desired value. However this is not the same for my shields. If I do the procedure I did on the hull, eg, mov a value into the shields code, EVERYONE gets the boost and stays fixed.

So how can I defeat this?

"42C4F3" Is the code that reads all shields(AI AND PLAYER) (If AI's in sector it will read theirs too as listed by the function "Find out wat address this instruction writes to" feature in the memory viewer of CE")

"4286BB" Is the code that decreases shields(AI AND PLAYER) (If AI's are present in sector and they take damage, it read theirs too, and also if the player takes damage gets listed by the function "Find out wat address this instruction writes to" feature in the memory viewer of CE")

Another thing to note, all the value that is being read is "65536". Thats the value for full shields. So If a player/AI ship has a shield that says "25000/25000" its value is being represented by "65536". Even if a ship that has a in game shield value of "1000/1000" it is represented by the value "65536" as full shield. So I cant tell who's shield is whos in the list of "Find out wat address this instruction writes to" but the players are usually on the top of the list.

But I would like to find out the unique player pointer or base to permanently hack the shield.

How Can I achieve this?

I want to post some screen shots but I cant post URL's >.<


So yeah, I hope you elite game hackers out there understood what was questioned here and I hope you guys can help.


Thank you for your help!

EDIT: The 2 Codes mentioned above that writes to ADDRESSES are obviously DMA and changes upon level change
