So I have been trying to make a little cheat table for MicroCivilization
I've been attempting to find a pointer for a currency in the game used to upgrade heroes. The only time I can find the value is a 4 byte value which does allow me to change it and then upgrade the heroes with the currency. However, when saving and reloading back into the game I get a negative value on these currencies and the value now shows as over 4 billion (likely representing the negative number)
So I figured I'd fool around and try to find some pointers to these values and I did the usual find value > change in game > close game > find value again from what writes to address > make pointermaps > it seems like the offset is 0C but when I try to filter for the offset I get zero pointers at all and the inital comparison of the pointer maps is over 6000 but none of them have the offset in the code that's writing to the value
What is writing to these values looks like 7FFF2F66B77E - mov [rcx+0C],ebx
it seems that CE's best guess as to the value of the pointer also changes each time I load into the game. Not sure how to track down the real underlying value so I can change it. It seems like changing the display value also temporarily allows me to use the currency but doesn't keep it permanently changed and screws up some underlying value that then sets the number negative the next time I load in.
Any help would be appreciated I'm a little new to this.
