Cheat Engine

[DJ_DabStar]

I am finding no help on using CE with the game The Quest. I have already figured out that you need to search 2 byte values for health etc.,
but my issue is after hacking my experience and then killing a mob to get the xp to level, I level my character, and also have both values found for the skill points but it only ever allows me to allocate 2 skill points to strength Dex etc., every level, even with my skill points frozen at say 20, I cant get unlimited pts, sure it says there unlimited and they never deplete, but there is a lil plus box that shows up next to each skill and character attributes that you can only click on 2 times to add 2 points into each skill/attribute you want, but only 2 even with the cheat enabled in cheat engine it only lets me do it 2 times per skill per level
and needed to know if there is any other way to let me put more than just the 2 points in whatever skill per level
Any help will be greatly appreciated....

You could try searching for a byte value like 0, 1, or 2 that's changed when you purchase a skill, and changing that might help you. Then again, that might not even exist.

A surefire way would be to look at the ASM around instructions that access your skill points when you use one. That limit should be around one of those instructions. Just note that "around" could mean less than 100 just as easily as it could mean several thousand. You'll need to have a decent knowledge of ASM if you want to do this.

I made a skills unlocker for Watch Dogs that was very similar to what you are dealing with. I used ultimap to solve the problem. I believe it involved two, simple injections...but you may only need one.

I was able to find the value for stat points no problem, but can't seem to find the one for skill points. It's very strange.

I've been trying to hack this game as well, with limited success.

I can find Gold and stat points easy with normal search, then since they wouldn't show up on normal searches when the values changed from getting damaged or spell usage, I searched for and found HP and MP by browsing the memory region of Gold and manually looked in the same general area till I found the two values listed near each other. (figured such things would be in the same general area for character stats, somewhere between where my character name was listed in memory and the gold value)

The Skill points were found the same way as the HP and MP, by manually browsing the same memory region (as the stat points in this case)

The main problem I've been having however, is though I can find the Gold, HP, MP, Attribute Points and Skill Points, I can't find the POINTERS for said values.

Every time I try to scan for what accesses/writes to said addresses and some change in the game happens that would causes said value changes to be generated, the game crashes on me (Essentially meaning, I have no choice but to manually find all the addresses again every time I play the game lol)

If anyone has had any success finding the pointers for this, I would appreciate it being shared here

Thanks.

My understanding of how all this works is brutally limited, but I can usually make some progress through time-consuming trial and error. Ha. Lame/sad, I know, but c'est la vie. I can't make a trainer or anything which is too bad.
Anyway, I ended up finding the Attribute points quick and easy using a 4 byte scan for the number. Easy-peasy. Then I browsed the memory region of those Attribute points to find everything else. Attribute points were the only value I found I could scan for. All the other values were still 4 bytes, but 6 to 7 digits long. So the memory browser was perfect... lucky that everything was close together I guess. Anyway, I could see the attribute as well as skill values changing in that area as I browsed, so then changed them by hand in the browser.
Kind of a silly way to go about it all, but still effective I guess.
