I have successfully found the Lives and Money addresses for my pc game Pirate Poppers but cannot seem to be able to find the progress bar for my game. I have searched for unknown value and then, was changed, but I seem to still keep having way too many addresses listed. You have to decrease the bar by destroying a certain amount of cannon balls and when the bar is empty it lights up to a gold color which lets you know you are almost done. I basically want to find the address so I can light up the bar myself and then move on to the next level. Unknown values are a BIG pain so I am in need of help. I was also wondering if the Level Numbers are stored as Byte, 2 Bytes or 4. I was trying to skip a level but I am not sure how to do that either because there were a ton of numbers for my level 73. I cannot filter because I cannot get past that level. I have a feeling that the Level Numbers are stored in a different location every time you change levels. I appreciate any help at this point. Thanks!

that's a hard one.
the progressbar is probably set by checking of the objects are still there/alive

example:
the progressbar is set to : max cannonballs-1 (let's say 10-1)
then each time a cannonbal is destroyed it calls the routine to update the progressbar

the update progressbar routine then goes through an array of 10 objects of the type CannonBall, and counts how many of them have their flag "Destroyed" to false
and then the progressbar position is set to that count

and in that same routine it probably checks if the count is 0, and not by checking the progress bar

Thank you for your help! You definently understood what I was saying and you are exactly right on how this game is played. I was not sure if I explained it well enough. Do you have any suggestions on where to look for the value of the progress bar or am I unable to change that value?
