Hello, I just want to ask a simple question. I tried to do boxhead 2play rooms, and I read a tut where you had to kill an zombie (you got about 200 points) but the person said to scan 1600 then kill another zombie and then next scan 3200. How do you know how much to scan exactly?

Basic flash-hacking.

You just multiply the value with 8.

200*8=1600
400*8=3200

Only if it's action script 2
For AS 1 and 3 you can just use the double type and in some cases just 4 bytes without multiply

and as to why the *8: the value is stored 3 bit after the start of the address (using binary would be better to find it because at least that takes in mind that the 3 bits in front don't have to be 0 )

EXAMPLE

So, say if I try to get gold for warcraft 3 or something and I get an equal amount of 24+ gold and then I times it by 8 (192) and then I get another 24+ of gold and then times (192) by 8 which = (1536). Or does "8" only work with 3 bit?

[Dark Byte]

Well, first off, warcraft 3 isn't a flash game, so no need to multiply by 8
At most divide by 5 or 10 depending on the map... (or was that aoe ?)


But for another game like : Lazyminejumper
If you jump over a mine the total numbner of mines you jumped over increased by 1
so you start with 0, then 1, then 2, then 3....

and you scan for it: 1=8, 2=16, 3=24, 4=32
of course, i'd just go with binary, and then scan for: 1, 2 3, 4... since 1 might also be stored as 9,10,11,12,13,14 or 15, but usually it'll be 8 though

How do you know how much to divide/multiply by? That's the only thing I do not get.

[Dark Byte]

first you find the value using unknown initial value scan followed by changed/unchanged, and then after some experimenting you find the correct address

And then you try to figure out how the game interprets the value
e.g if you know you have 800 gold, and the game has stored it as 80, then you know the game is storing the value divided by 10.
And you can use that knowledge for next time you play the game to easily find it

[vinxle]

How would you know if the game stored it as 80 if you got 800?

I feel like an idiot I never did the tutorials but now you pushed me to do them ^_^. Thank you, for helping me look at them . I'm sure to do better .
