Hi all, I'm currently in the process of trying to make an XP/AP multiplier for this game, however I'm having issues finding out what writes to the characters XP address at the end of battle;

Once the debugger is attached, the game will crash when the battle ends.

Is there an alternative way to find the pointers or run the debugger in a way that won't make the game crash?

EDIT: Cracked it, turns out I can use a different kind of debugger in Cheat Engine. Now to figure out the multiplier code!

EDIT 2: Okay I'm struggling with this, FF7 has a really ass backwards way of adding the XP.

The character XP values are static, and the after-battle XP is too, so it's easy to find these values. I found the assembler line that was writing to the Char XP at the end of the battle, it was

... scroll up in the memory viewer?

Or if you want to read from the point that specific function starts, then right-click the code that does that in the memory viewer and choose to break and trace. Tell it like 500 instructions or so, and then gain some EXP so it traces and stuff. Expand the trees and you'll be able to see how it jumps back and forth, sort of.



So if you double-click the thing right after the end of the function, it'll bring focus to where that code is in the memory browser. Scroll up one line to find what called the function you were checking out at the time it was logged.

I was just about to go to bed before I read this, didn't realise there was a tracer.

Looks like it's gonna be a late one!

An alternative way would be to just subtract "[some address]" from "edx"; like so:
