i found an address but changes only what value you see on the screen not the real one...
example:
i change the "money" address to 999 999 999 ; i had 0 ;
on the screen i see 999 999 999 but i can't buy anything ...
how do i back trace to find the real address ?...
i tried what accesses ... but i got the same results of what writes ...

I assume this is single player because online this will never ever work

Anyhow, first try different value types (perhaps the 4 byte is just a temporary value used for display purposed)

If that fails, break at the instructions in front and check how it get's the value. If from a value in the stack, do a stacktrace to see what called that instruction and go from there

...of course the is a single player, it's a very old one from 2001 and has nothing to do with internet.
about value types ... i have tried everything, but no results.
the game is very realistic, about 11 bullets and you're dead so didn't work with changed / unchanged... i think the code is the only way.

thank you Dark Byte.
i have backtreaced the caller
the function was like this:

cmp whatever
jne do not hurt me
hurt me
call statusbar decrease value
exit <- here is the label do not hurt me

just changed jne to jmp ...
now i have to play and test the code ... maybe it's used for other reasons too ... if so i just realised that a have to goo deep.
-- for those who follow this post i'll update and maybe try to help if i understand how it works.
thanks Very Happy
