Hey,

I am playing a game where I need to edit the xp value of an item(every item's xp is listed in the memory).
My problem is that I get 1k+ results searching for it, at best 500, editing them all results(logicly) in a crash.
I thought, it is used to alter my xp right? So can I see what adress was used to do xp + adress_of_the_xp, but how do I do this?(I am able to find the adress of the xp, I did some fancy stuff with CE, but I am not your expert Razz)

Thanks in advance

Well, memory addresses of things like that are not used by themselves to edit other memory addresses, so there's no automatic way to find it.

Do "find what writes to this address" to find the line of code that edits it, show it in the disassembler, then hit F5 to set a breakpoint on it. When it breaks and shows up green (hit F5 again and then F9 to resume the game normally), it should show the register contents at the right. If one of those is the EXP amount (it's all in hex), note down which register it is and then read upwards through the code to find the bit which grabs that and work from there?
