Hello...

I'm trying to hack Anno 2070 for my kid (he loves Anno 2070).

I use Cheat Engine in Sim City 4000 with no problems and I've read many tutorials and done the CE tutorial, but I can't hack the items in Anno 2070.

Does someone have suggestions?

Thanks!

Should this post be in
Single player cheat request
?
If yes, can someone move it? Please Rolling Eyes

That's exactly what I wanted, to learn how to do it, then I can do the same in other games, my kid is always asking me that. Usually I'm able to find trainers on-line, but sometimes (like this one) I can't find them.

Game Name: Anno 2070
Game Version: v2.00.7780
Options Required: Mostly Money and Items (tools and the primary) but pretty much everything Very Happy

. Because he starts asking me for money, a few days or hours later ask me for another thing, then another thing, kids... Laughing

Game Website: The system is telling me that I can't post URLs yet
Other Info: I used a patch to play offline (included in the downloaded). There are no tables for this version, there is for an old version
I downloaded the game from a torrent site.

I tried many stuff, even another application (ArtMoney). Two things that I noticed:
1 - When changing values, that value would return to the original right in front of my eyes, but not always.
2 - Many times, after using the Filter many times the result was zero entries

Thanks for the help!

I will try today to do a table for what you asked up here ^

But its important for you to know another tricks to find values...

1. Try scanning 2 Bytes / Float / Double / All Types

2. Manually remove values from the list, that you think they aren't what you looking for

3. In rare situations the value is encripted (usually woth simple XOR crypt p.s. read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_cipher )
In this case: scan Unknown -> Changed/Unchanged till you have the value.

4. the MOST important: use your BRAIN.

Well thats the most of what i can tell you Wink

hope it helped

If you want to search for values manually, I know 2 things for this game (because I have made 2 cheats for it some time ago).

1. When you search for money, multiply the value by 1024. Eg you have 100, then search for 102400. This is btw true to other Anno games also.

2. Goods on ships for example are stored simply as an integer (I think 4 bytes or something). So you just search for some goods on a ship, you unload a little, search again, then change or freeze the value and you can keep unloading it to hoard up a certain type of goods.
For myself, I have made a script that set the amount of goods on the selected ship to 40, but I am pretty sure that the script will not work for new versions, so it's useless to you.

I don't know anything more, because I didn't play the game for too long.

It's always possible that they have changed something in the game with the updates. I have played some very old version. In that version, the value was simply multiplied by 1024. Eg my script is changing the money to (int)1024000000 to freeze the money to 1 million.

wow mannn... i found an easier way, found the un-multiplied value in BINARY scan, then looked what acsessed and saw that the values are stored in a multiplied_by_1024 way Very Happy

(that also took a while..)

Great find Very Happy

Tried to find the value always multiplying by 1024 in 2 bytes, 4 bytes and float but no luck, the final result was always nothing Sad

I did the same, and also no result (when scanning multiplied value in 1-8 Bytes) but never tought that BINARY will help me to find it out...
