So the new update is out ruining my pointer table for the old version, I tried scanning for the new address. However, this time, non of them are stable. No pointer shows up the same on next load. I think this is the end for pointer scanning for Terraria, sigh...

Anyone figured out the trick?

Try higher structsizes and levels. (And remember to never click stop)
And make sure steam.dll is not in the commonmodules list
And do a pointerscanner while being in the game for a while so steam has been given addresses of certain objects

The last time I had stable pointers, they were 6 levels deep (this was before 1.2.0), and even then they'd waver so they weren't useful for locking, just keeping in the table for debugging. I just use aobscans to edit assembly for most of my stuff nowadays.

I am trying to find the buffs which in 1.2.1.2 I used 5 Levels and a max offset of 8000. They were stable somewhat, now though, its not. It takes almost 20 GB of space to do a full scan with 6 levels and something that high.

Only 20 gig? I have problems when I start pushing a terabyte.

Have you tried lowering the offset (500 - 700), and increasing the levels?

Although, if disk space is an issue, I suppose it won't matter much. You could try a different machine/drive, or have someone do the scan for you.

Look in this table for the buff you want. For examples findTreasure, the offset is 386. So when doing a pointer scan for that address, tell the scanner than the last offset is +386. This will help cut down on the number of results.

A max offset of 1024 (for entries in that table that don't have an offset listed as more than 400) and a depth of 6 should theoretically get it.

But yeah, with a non-huge amount of RAM and a standard HDD, big pointer scans can take ages and all sorts of disc space.

What do you need the pointers for, anyway? Really, you can just inject code and get all of the values that you need.

I just bypass that and do edits that make it so I don't take damage in the first place, for example. This has the added benefit of making it so I can take 999,999 damage and still not die (unlike locking an address where you're still vulnerable to being one-shotted).
