I'm trying to get the memory address of an item in The Stomping Land. So far I got the dynamic address, but doing "Find out what accesses this address" gives me an offset of 0 and the same address. Searching for the address as a hex turns up nothing. Is it not possible to find the static address for this game? Ill upload screenshots

Also, I noticed with every restart, the address keeps the "B8D8" portion but changes the "2450".

You can try to find the next step in the pointer chain by setting a breakpoint and looking in esp+4, or better yet use the pointer scanner.

Went through that process, got a result of "UDK.exe"+02A45CBC, offsets of 4d8, 34, a4, 4d0, 7a4. I set these as my values in C++, but nothing happens in-game. I might have an address that doesn't work. Code-

Code:

DWORD BolasBaseAddress = {0x02A45CBC};
DWORD BolasOffset[] = {0x4d8, 0x34, 0xa4, 0x4d0, 0x7a4};

Hi CitricThunder, I too am having the exact same problem as you. However, I managed to find the base address ONE time out of many tries. I messed it up so I wasn't able to save it =/. Apparently it was due to luck.. Let me explain. So far, from what I've been reading, the problem is Cheat Engine is returning a negative value. For example: [esp-01] is what we are getting after clicking "find out what writes/accesses this address" then going to "more info". That -01 is the problem, Cheat Engine doesn't seem to accept negative values. I was lucky one time when I received a positive value, but that chance very rarely comes around. We would probably have to try load the game 100 times before we got lucky.

I'm still looking for a solution to this problem. If I find one I will happily let you know. I will probably create a trainer for The Stomping Land too. Please let me know if you find a solution to this dilema as well, I'd highly appreciate it.
