Hello CE forum.

I'm trying to modify my character's appearance in a game. I have no problems finding the values, but I have trouble finding the pointer(s) to these values, for multiple reasons:

(For the record, yes, I have (successfully!) completed the pointer tutorial.)

1) I don't know how large the player struct is. I've browsed the memory around the values I've found and I'm quite sure I know how large it is, but I'm not absolutely sure.

2) The "find out what accesses/writes to this address" approach yields no results. The moment I do this, there're a few results, and when the value changes, there're a few more, but: Based on how large I know the player struct to be, the pointer offsets are way (read: WAY) too small. There's stuff like [esi+18], or [esi+30], but based on what I know, it should be around 4 to 5 thousand. (Yes, the player struct is that large. Roughly.)

I'm currently running a pointer scan, but even if I can find the pointer+offset that way, that's not the point. I'd like help finding the pointer, yes, but the main purpose of this thread is: What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.
