 Posted: Fri Jun 25, 2021 9:21 pm Post subject: When changing a value, others change too? |
 |
|
Basically, I have a list of static 2 byte variables. They are all in order in terms of offsets (12E77C4, 12E77C5, 12E77C6 etc.)
when I try to modify one of them, the other variables change for some reason. I can't seem to find any kind of pattern that I can decrypt.
I also don't think it's the app changing them, as I have the app paused while doing all this testing.
I have a screenshot where I can show what issue I'm having.
| Description: |
| I tried setting 12E77C3, C4 and C5 to the value of 10 in order. This is what I get. The values are all locked, and the app is paused, yet they still change. am I missing something here? |

Some of these are spaced by 1 byte but set with 2 byte value type, so changing one will change the other. Setting 0x...C2 will also set 0x...C3, and setting 0x...C3 will also set 0x...C4, and so on.

You can use "see what accesses" and see how the values are used, but you'll need to understand a bit of assembly.

I only understand the basics and I'm not smart enough to be able to trace a long path of the variable to find it's source.
But it seems like changing the variable to a byte has helped so far, hopefully this might make tracking it easier. not sure if 2byte or byte has different assembly code or not.

It can be done a lot of different ways. If you're lucky you might find a "word ptr" or "byte ptr", with the instructions that access the address. "word" is 2 bytes so "dword" (double word) is 4 bytes and "qword" (quad word) is 8 bytes. But if you "see what assesses" the address and then in the instruction "see what addresses this instruction accesses" CE will select a value type for you, it's not 100% right but most times it is.
Also this might help: https://wiki.cheatengine.org/index.php?title=Tutorials:Value_types
