Hi, I'm trying to set my health in Saints Row: The Third, but its not going so well...

I found the address of the health: saintsrowthethird.exe+263B2C8
Its a float, 1=full 0=dead

The problem is something else its constantly writing to it, so if I try to change it, it instantly goes back. So I did what I thought was logical and scanned for what writes to the address and I got:

Perhaps it's stored somewhere else as well, e.g: Perhaps you only found the healthbar and not the actual health
(and make sure you're not online)


This function basically copies the floatign point value stored at [edi+08] into [esi+08] (your address)
I'd suggest finding out where edi+08 get it's value from (or perhaps even changing that is enough)

For the more advanced users:
Ultimap can be used to find the routine that changes health.
Lose health, scan for "has been executed"
Walk arround, shoot, bump into walls, etc... "Scan for "has not been executed"
Repeat a few times , filter out for "Calls" only
And you'll have a list of functions only called when you lose health

Thank you for the info!

I feel really stupid though, I'm not so sure how to find edi+08, the addresses in the list say EDI=00000001, which isn't a memory address.

Thanks again.

That's because the pop edi instruction in front, which places the value stored in [esp] into that register

You could try code injection to find out where the value comes from, but that's probably too complex (you could also just switch the fstp and pop lines with eachother, as their sequence doesn't matter)

Break it before the fld instruction and check its value. FSTP will also pop esi so make sure you're not bp'ing on that address.

It'd help if you showed a little bit more of the function.
