Cheat Engine

[ImpiSpirit]

Hi, I am rather basic at Cheat Engine and have been playing around with the latest Dungeon defenders through steam. I have managed to do things like change mana and banked mana.. however when I restart the level or something like that the mana address always changes, so I thought I would try and find the pointer so it will always work even when I re-open the game so I wont have to find the address every time. I click on find out what writes to this address but it just crashes the game when I collect or drop some mana while it is searching, I have the latest game version and cheat engine 6.1. is there anything I am doing wrong or anything you can advise me on? Much appreciated, thanks.

Try switching to the VEH debugger. It's under debugger options.

I had an analog problem,
I have solved it by changing the debugger to kernelmode
under "Edit" -> Settings -> debugger options -> 0 use kernelmode debugger.

Thanks, I will try that now and let you know how it goes

[Edit]
I have found the code that writes to it, it comes out like this...


0048782E - F3 0F10 C1 - movss xmm0,xmm1
00487832 - F3 0F2C C0 - cvttss2si eax,xmm0
00487836 - 89 06 - mov [esi],eax <<
00487838 - 5E - pop esi
00487839 - 8B E5 - mov esp,ebp

EAX=0000005A
EBX=0D34E880
ECX=01E3DF3C
EDX=01E3DF08
ESI=0C232AA0
EDI=0C232400
ESP=01E3DF30
EBP=01E3DF4C
EIP=00487838

Now I think I use the ESI but I don't know what the offset will be, once I know the offset all I need to do is scan the ESI as a hex, and get the address, then add manually and put the address in and also the offset and that will work every time right?

Does anyone know how I can Solve this?

There is no offset in that example. It will only work every time if that is a static pointer.
