So, let me begin by asking everyone's patience... I'm totally new to all this and to be quite honest found the tutorial to be completely overwhelming.

I'm trying to locate and alter values in the current version of Wargame: Airland Battle. The problem is that I've located the value for my deployment points and added it to the box at the bottom but whenever I alter the value it does not reflect in game. When I change the value in game and return to CE the value shows the new in-game value.

Example:

In-game = 2000
Edit value in CE from 2000 to 5000
In-game still = 2000
Alter value In-game (purchase unit), value reduces from 2000 to 1800
Return to CE, value shows 1800

How do I get my change to stay?

Thanks in advance! Smile

I am not experienced with this myself.
But I can tell you that the address is just a fake one, it's probably a reference address..
You have to keep digging, found out what writes to this fake address and check the opcodes.

I can use that "what writes to this address" function for that right? If so what do I do then?

Sorry to be so clueless but game hacking has gotten soooo much more complicated since the good old days where Artmoney.exe could do almost anything on almost any program.

EDIT:

So I used unknown value search function and narrowed it from over a billion results to 17...

4 of the 17 are red and are constantly changing. What the heck are those? The other 13 appear to have values like this "-7.01201203899736E-177"

Any tips?

I know red means it changed... I'm saying that it is changing constantly. About ever 2 seconds... but the value in game has not. That's why I ask what that is or what it means.

As for freezing the value... Oh I agree! I would love to! ...it won't... that's why I'm asking.

Wish I could provide you a video... that would explain my point better.

I agree the tools have gotten better but you have to know how to use them... that's what has gotten more complicated. Back in the old days you didn't have nearly all this stuff to sort through or figure out. I'm talking about 8-bit here, back when an advanced game was less than 1 megabyte. I'm old school, grey hair and all.

I'll pour over this when I got time but for now it's looking like I'm just too old to keep up with you guys. Ya'll speak a totally unfamiliar language to me. Frankly, it gives me a headache.

Thanks for trying. If someday this clicks to me and I want to give it another go I'll post again.
