hello,
i have been trying to hack R.U.S.E but after i get to the second layer of pointers there are still like 50 of them left.
after the third i narrowed it to 10.
all pointing to the same address.

i tried changing the pointer and the value lots of time but i just can get to the last pointer.

also i trying changing all of them and freezing but also doesn't work... - it shows as if i have 1000money (what im trying to change) but the real value remains unchanged.

any of you can teach me how to hack this?

I'm new to cheat engine and have no background in ASM.
but i am not new to computer science so i can understand what you are saying.

thank you,
Ron.

I did not use pointers, I have found the code which is reading the player's money to display it on the screen and I have changed the money there with code injection. It's pretty easy to hack the game this way.
You can find the table for unlimited money here:

I have found the address of the money with unknown value search, then I have checked which codes are accessing to the address.

I have checked the codes one by one to see which one is accessing to the player's money address only, then I have written a script to change the money when that code is running.

If You have made CE tutorial Step 7, You can do it easily.

Yes, the float value with the amount of money is just used to display the value on the screen. It is not the actual amount of money. I bet the Ruse points are stored that way too, but I am too lazy to search for it, because they are kinda useless. Actually this game is not a big shot. At least it has a nice graphic...

If you follow the instructions in the 2nd post, you can find it easily. I doubt I will make a video about it because I would need to install the game for it.

does anybody know how to give the supply depos infinite money? it could be a god way to get a good amount of money but still maybe avoid anti cheat? Idea

It will not work. I have tried. Changing the money in the supply depot will have the same ugly results.

The pointer to your money is "RUSE.exe"+014623B8 offset by 184 and then 220. However, R.U.S.E. has a primitive cheat detection system. It multiplies your money by exactly 840 and then checks it against your total income. Luckily for us, the total income variable is also multiplied by 840, so you will have no trouble finding it. It is "RUSE.exe"+014623B8 offset by 180, then 34, then 0, then 150, and finally by 21C. The game makes sure that your current amount of money does not exceed your income, so as long as you set the total income variable to a value higher than your current amount of money, the game will not detect that you are cheating. As for how I found this, I started by performing a scan with an unknown initial value, and then lowering/increasing my money. This allowed me to find the two variable which are necessary to perform the cheat. I then needed to find the pointer which would lead me to the final cheat, so I used the pointer scanner and found the two variables many times until I found the pointer. If you need a more in-depth tutorial, I can make you a video, but in the meantime http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9ZWF21N0 is the trainer I made, so if all you need to do is perform the cheat, you can use that. Keep in mind that it will not work in multiplayer, because that is V.A.C. secured.

As I remember, I have tried to just freeze the value to a low amount and keep buying units and it has still detected the cheat. But I don't really remember, it was a long time ago. I know it is storing how much money is on the map in summary etc and if you buy too much units which is beyond your limit than it will detect it. Anyway I didn't really bother with it. Campaign doesn't have anti-cheat protection and I didn't want to start bypassing any multiplayer related protection, even if it is just for single player skirmish.

tested reuben's trainer. It works perfectly. just be a little careful with how much you build and recruit!
In the campaign/skirmish you only press the M key and wait for a new mission or supply truck. great trainer! Very Happy

Do you have anything for the ruse's to?

Reuben's money trainer worked but since megaupload is busted by some FBI shit, we noob hackers cant get the trainer. Would appreciate if you could give us another link or something?
