I was following the directions from the CE tutorial in trying to change some character stats in a game called Silent Storm: Sentinels, hoping to replicate the results of a now broken mod (I am new to this so my terminology is rather off or nonexistent).

I was using the directions from Chapter 9: Tutorial 7, and I found the first pointer. But when I used "find out what accesses this address" on the pointer I got 4 pointers(or are they opcodes?), 2 of which had the same value for "the value of the pointer needed to find this address is probably" as the first time I did this using "find out what writes to this address" (I'm not sure how to explain this better, I do know what to call everything). Additionally I had what looked like offsets of +ecx*4 or +ecx.


All the opcodes from the first "find out what writes to this address" had the same offset of 14 and had the same value for "the pointer needed to find this address" (10F6E910). so I searched for the value and picked the first address. Then I used "find out what accesses this address" on it and got 4 opcodes. The first 2 had the same "the pointer needed to find this address value" as before (10F6E910). The last 2 didn't. Not sure what to make of the offsets.

So I used the hexadecimal value for exc from "Extra info" for each one, and multiplied by 4 when it had the "*4" and used that as the offset. Since the first 2 had the same value I used the same address for the step where I use "Add Address Manually" and I tried using what I got for the offsets using "add offset" to make another offset box. I got "?"s for both. I tried the other 2 opcodes that did not have the same "the pointer needed to find this address value", but using the process from the tutorial I still got ?? no matter which address I used.

I apologize for the confusing explanation, but I don't think I'm allowed to post images, and I only got into this recently when I realized my mod was broken, and I really liked its effect. I'm currently trying a pointer scanner, but it has been running for hours and still has not stopped. I am not sure what to do from here, and any help would be appreciated.
