Im now trying to study a hack made by someone else. The hack is a dll that is written in C++. It has hotkeys that increase gold, food, stone, wood. It also has maphack. So to learn i would like to reverse it.

The problem is when i open it in cheat engine and or ollydbg breakpoints dont work. I opened it in IDA Pro, and got a list of addresses that i would like to make breakpoints on to study, but nothing happens. I got the addresses for the hotkeys, i press those hotkeys that activate the hacks. But nothing happens, nothing breaks.

How should i study it? The dll file works just by placing it in the same folder as the game .exe . So no need to inject it, only needs to be in the same folder.

So what should be the right course of action to start?

This is not something you are likely to get help with here. We don't condone or encourage reversing other peoples hacks/trainers.

Im sorry. Well this is quite an old hack but i understand, its from 2002, so it has been almost 20 years. So when we are reversing a game isnt it kind of the same? All i want is to learn and improve...
