Cheat Engine

[Sirusdv]

The concept is to detect lines of code that are traversed and ones that are not to help narrow down where different functions are. Basically on every call statement, add a debug breakpoint.. and remove them as the breakpoint gets called... then once a hotkey is pressed and a new breakpoint is hit, break the debugger to discover new a new code path.

Example usage with WoW finding fall damage infliction:

* open the process in cheatengine,
* hit "initialize code tracing"
* go make a sandwich because it will take a while to set all the breakpoints.
* Go back in the game, jump around a lot, take some damage from a mob / drowning.
* Hit the hotkey to actually break the debugger / make a note of the new calls' offsets (maybe even a stack dump?)
* jump off of something high and take fall damage

The only codepath hit should be the one where damage is inflicted because of falling.

I'd implement this myself but I don't really know Delphi all to well. It seems like to implement this would require a combination of the "pointer finder" and the "what modifies/reads this value" functions.


Let me know what you think.
