Ok I found an address that I want to make it a pointer. But I don't know what base address I need to find and what offset it is. The address is 027B2DF0. Please I appreciate your help.

-Right click on 027B2DF0 and go to "see what accesses this address"
-Go back to the game and make the value change.
-Go back to CE and see all the lines on the little debugger box... when you double click them they says
"The most likely pointer is:
XXXXXXXX"
-Stop the debugger, and search 4 byte in HEX for the number... disable fast search and hyper scan. you may get like 3 values or so... add them.

-Now we make them pointers. Once added, double click the address on each one, then copy the contents of the box, check the "Pointer" checkbox, then paste it into the lower box that appears (the left one) now you must make the top box match your dynamic address using the offset you can just guess until it matches up.

personmans i dont understand the last part of your text:

now you must make the top box match your dynamic address using the offset you can just guess until it matches up.

is there a way to calculate the offset or something..
because it gonna take very long of you gonna try from 1 to (a lot)
and the dynamic adress is what you found as 027B2DF0 right? If so i have done everything you said but it doesnt work..

Offset is the difference between the value of the pointer and the dynamic address that you origionally found... so in this case you would take the dynamic 027B2DF0 and subtract the value of XXXXXXXX (the pointer)

I just guess and check because it does it real-time and I haven't bothered to find/make a calc for it... but i can if anyone wants.

Heh, Here's the tool. Not very useful, but why not? ^_^

The Extension 'zip' was deactivated by an board admin, therefore this Attachment is not displayed.
