Hi

I tried to make a trainer for perimeter v.1.1
I want to freeze the energy in the game, no prob so far, I found the address and even the pointer to it (including offset).
My problem is that when i start another level the pointer is wrong.:(

It could be that there are more levels for that pointer.

You may need to find the pointer to that pointer and perhaps even further down the link ;)

To do that use the option to find out what accessess the pointer you found and work with that.

e.g:
Code:

pointer----
          |
          |
<----------
..
.. offset between pointer and other pointer
..
pointer----
          |
          |
<----------
..
..offset between pointervalue and energy
..
Energy


I've got this game too but havn't played it in a while (got fed up at the map where you need to use diggers) But I gues I can look at it if I can remember where I put it.

Oh yes, I gues I could tell you one of the features I hardly ever hear anyone about but helps great for this type of game:
When you've found the code that changes your energy you can save that and use that to find the address of your energy instead of scanning next time there's a level change or you restart.

Go to the advanced window, rightclick the code and choose "Find out what addresses this code writes to" (or reads from depending on what kind of code it is) and play the game. after a while the list will be filled up with all the addresses that that code used. (enemy's energy including if it is also used to handle the enemy)

Yeah i did it!!! Very Happy

It was just the wrong pointer Embarassed i had only one entry left,so i thougt this must be it.

This time i searched for the new address of the energy in a new level with another instance of CE and used the new address as pointer value.

It worked, but there's a problem with replacing the code: when you have a higher max energy than 10000 the shield will partially not build up.
With normal freeze everything works fine.

sry to bother you Dark Byte

ps Cheat Engine is my absolute favorite cheat tool. I came across it not long ago but its faster than other tools and the assembler editor is great!!!

keep up the good work on that tool Smile
