I'm working on a little trainer in C++ for a game. An issue i'm having is the pointer scan is only resulting in pointers based off the .dll instead of the base process (.exe). I know how to read and write to memory in C++ from the base address, but I don't know how to do it based off the .dll base. Can anyone point me in the right direction of how to even get the base of the .dll vs the base of the .exe address for C++?

@Pindrought:
1) you need to find all the Modules (= DLLs) of the Game Process
-> MSDN: EnumProcessModules

2) Then go through these modules and look for the DLL name you want
-> MSDN: GetModuleBaseName

3) ... and when you have the DLL you want, get its base address
-> MSDN: GetModuleInformation and MODULEINFO structure

4) After that you can use the Modules Base Address the same way like the .exe's Base Address
-> module base address (+ pointer)

An alternative to the above would be:
- CreateToolhelp32Snapshot
- Process32First
- Process32Next
- Module32First
- Module32Next

If you don't want to import PSAPI that is.
