I'm having trouble trying to make a code injection to prevent certain items from decreasing, after dissecting the data structure I found the id for an item but it is stored in a pointer at offset 0C



This is the injection I've started with

Well the first thing to do is figure out which offset is the item's ID, which you'll have to do by memory watching and testing, or maybe there's some technical info out there on item structures for the game that might include the offset or at least the order of data for items?

Then the code to use depends on what type of value the ID or whatever is (byte, 2 byte, 4 byte, float, etc.) and what you want to do (sub only it, or sub all but it, stuff like that).

It's more or less that Every item in the game has their ID's stored in the base address (in this case it's a pointer) and every ID is stored at Offset 0C within the pointer.

If you look at the screenshot in the highlighted row in the structure is that I was using two different items (and I know their ID's already) to see if I could find where they are stored. Both of their ID's are

I'm afraid that doesn't work, however carrying on with looking at the structure using the new addresses the the pointer was pointing to



The ID's are stored in a different structure than the structure that contains the data for the item amount. Where should I continue from here? any clues on how I could implement this into my current injection template?

It seems the item id thing is a bit complicated in this game.

The discussion is more about the game save, but it should reflect the similar complex on memory editing.

Probably a more specific title naming the game would recall some experienced's memory and interest.
