Hi there,
first came across CE many years ago and found it simple to alter flash games etc.
Recently I have come across a new website/game www//studiotycoon//net
(obviously change // for .) need to post the link otherwise its a bit hard for someone to help

the game uses a javascript platform which is why i believe its possible to use CE to hack it but it also uses html alot to produce the game data which is where perhaps i am going wrong.

Its sort of like a mini levling game, you gain points to spend on skills, what I am trying to do is alter my "points" so obviously i have more to spend.
I load up my process, search for my current points figure, using exact value and 4 bytes (later used just byte incase that was wrong) get 100,000+ results. i then spend some points, do a next scan for the new points figure and then i get no results

Firstly is this possible please? if so where am i going wrong please because in my head it seems simple i just don't get where i am going wrong. I've looked inside the source code and alot of the values are hidden but i haven't done any javascript/html hacking for years so i'm really stuck what i should be doing.

Thanks in advance for any help, and sorry but i think to understand what i mean you do need to sign up for an account.

edit: after just thinking about it, is this because the data is server side?

I haven't checked the link. But if it's JavaScript you don't need any tools, you can just inject some JS in the address field in your browser to alter data.

EDIT: And HTML doesn't "produce" anything. It's just used to show text and images.

EDIT2: And yes, the data is most likely server side.

ok thanks, well atleast i know that i can't do it now an can give up
just strange that i cant even alter it client side, i thought that would atleast be possible.
its as though my figures that i am being shown for points are coded as separate numbers so when i do a search i can never find them. It just feels as though the site is hackable i just cant figure out how

You may've tried this already, but if not, try searching for different types.. Instead of 4 bytes, try float. It's possible that the number is stored as a float or different format to either discourage memory editing or just for programming convenience.. For example a game I was playing I assumed the speed variable was a rounded 1, when in fact it was 0.001.. Checking various formats is worthwhile if you can't find it initially

idk might help..
