Space Pirates and Zombies

I have a game that just came out 6-12 hours ago give or take, and I want to change the money and the skill points. However, whenever I find the value of the money and skill and change it, the value in the game do not change. I do not know what to do, I'm using CheatEngine 6.0 or what ever the latest is.

Example: I find the code, change it from 429 to 2000 freeze it. Nothing changes, the value is still 429. The value shows up in many different areas like, float, 4 bytes, 2 bytes but, non of them change the game money.

Or, post me a method to my problem and ill try and do it myself, as I don't know what tipe of method to use to change the values in my game.

Thank you

Well, hopefully someone will point us to a tutorial that will help us or take the time to just explain what me might do different to have the changes work.

After changing the value you must first change the amount of money inside the game (spend or get some) before it is updated visually

And if all else fails try changed/unchanged scans to find it (unless it is an online game in which case it won't work)

yeah but the adres keeps changing

example i have killed 100 enemies its rigestered in the game
i want to change it to lets say 200

so i find the adres change it and it saz 200 but when i save and reload the game goes back to the 100

any idea why this happens ?

how can i make it save the changes i make in the adres like 04FBCAA4

i tryd changing the adres then going in game then saving but when i reload the adres is now 04FBCA88 and only the actual killed enemies has been added not the ones i add trough hex

Reloading will randomize all addresses making scanning useless so when looking for the address do not load a save to scan for a new value

Also, disconnect from the internet, because it sounds like a stat it might have sent it to a server on the web

Anyhow, kill an enemy, and search for the number of enemies killed (use the all type if possible)
Then kill another enemy and search again, and again and again
Eventually you'll have a manageable amount of addresses. (100 or less)
Change a few, kill an enemy and check the value. Is it changed to what you changed it to +1 ? If not, try other addresses.

If you have tried them all and none worked then perhaps it's stored as total enemies alive
Or even as a string

and if all else fails, try changed/unchanged scans: (4 byte or float recommended)
Kill an enemy, changed.
Walk around and shoot walls, unchanged
Jump like a frog, unchanged
Hurt but don't kill an enemy, unchanged
Kill that enemy, changed
repeat that a few times till you get a bunch of results

Then use the memory view to see if you can figure out what those addresses mean

Probably you have found the wrong value. It maybe just a copy of the real value. Keep searching until you find the value that is really storing your money.

I guess that's really all there is to it? No easier method?

You can try to figure out how is that value updated and what is the source. But you need to be familiar with ASM to do that. Probably it is easier to keep searching for unknown value. Changed/unchanged etc searches.

I had some values that wouldn't stay at what you put them, or they change to another value when trying to change it. Also I was able to do code injection to see if this would help. When trying to apply it to make a trainer it doesn't do anything. So what is wrong?

Not sure, could be he found it using changed/unchanged/Same as first scan scans. Or he found it by looking at the memory view window and noticed that whenever that memory changed this address changed as well

Or he just debugged the code that wrote the display value and traced back to how it got that value
