i have been trying to hack a multiplayer game..seems everyone has already accomplished this feat but w/e

i manage to find the attack Address by taking a weapon off and on and searching the Attack Power ads it increases/decreases

so i CAN locate the address..i set the value to say ( 3000 ) attack damage..it will stay at 3000 until i enter a game then i dont have the extra power(sometimes it works and i can have the 3000 attack) sometimes the value resets

i dont understand what im doing wrong..can someone please give me any suggestions


much appreciated

Maybe i can aid u if u tell me what game is
and u must consider that multiplayer games store the data at server side so its most common that u are changin a fake address cos it gets corrected by the server.

Firstly, I don't really like 'helping' people cheat in a multi-player game, as it takes away from people other then ones self. (in fact, i've seen some great games rise and fall, just beacuse people decided they needed what no one else had).

That aside: One way people cheat in multiplayer games, is by using a proxy/packet sniffer to filter/modify values as they're passed to the server. This may be how other people are able to get around certain memory tricks the game designers add.

That aside: If its working sometimes, but not others, theres a good chance you're doing something in game, which makes the address direct to a new one, i.e. reloading, changing weapons, etc.

There still must be 1 'pointer' address that points to the value however, and that's most likely what you have to find.

Once you get the address for the value, search for that address (doing a 4 byte hex search). It's possible that there will be other data that matches that address (purely by chance) so dont get all excited when you think you've found it.

Next, add a new address to the table, set as a pointer. (If you want more info on pointers, read the cheat engine documentation. Also, The memory scanner ArtMoney has further documentation on them). Pointers can also go several levels deep. That is, there may be a base address which points to another address, which points to another address which points to another address which points to the final value. You'll know this is the case, if the pointer works longer, but still doesn't work always.

Lastly : Use my info for good, and try not to piss anyone off =) (hell, who am I kidding... Look at Einstein /grin)
