Hello guys,

I connected Cheat Engine to a dedicated server of a game, and I'd like to know some sort of methodology to get things such as the list of active players in the game. Don't know at all where to start, it's quite easy when you gotta find a single value to edit, but when you want a full list of things, it becomes a lot more harder.

Thank you.

Find the health of two players.
Use the automated pointer scanner on each.
Find a pointer that is different by a single offset.

Do you have a tutorial for this one ?
I checked around but couldn't quite understand how it worked.

technically finding player's health is as basic as it gets, CE tutorial will get you through the process (and the last part of CE tut which is about structures might even come in handy).
Are you scanning on the server program version or are you scanning on the client program version ?

I'm scanning the server version.

My goal isn't to develop a cheat on the game, but add functionalities through it by having an internal modification done via a C++ dynamic library, which would get informations such as the list of players coupled with their UID, the chat, etc...

I have already been doing the basics of CE thanks to its tutorial where I've been able to look for things such as health. You just gotta search for a value changed or an exact value. However here, you're not looking for something similar, but a group of things (the list of players, or the messages relayed in the chat).

Thanks !

out of curiosity, you have the server program but not the server source code right ?
Have you completed CE tut in its entirety ?
when you get a player health you wanna check if function accessing it access all other player healths (usually they do) and you get the info there.

As for player list have you tried looking for the strings of a player in the hexa window of CE and then randomly browsed around it to find other strings ?

Nope, I do not have the source code unfortunately.
Yup', completed the full tutorial, with the the last step being the data structures.

I searched around the strings, but couldn't seem to find anything interesting I'm afraid.
