Everytime I restart most of my games, the places where they are stored are changed, and i'm not sure how I get it to work each time you start up.

I tried pointers (maybe I did it wrong) and a few other things... but generally I can't make any trainers for games that have different places where the vaules are stored at the start of the game each time.

So like if I find the code for lives in a certain game, and I quit and restart it, it changes and I have to find it once again... How would I go about making a table that finds it, or trainer, or whatever?

this problem is solvable using pointers ( http://www.syndiv.com/ce/forum/viewtopic.php?t=79 )

Also, you should call the ammount of lives left values instead of codes. That'll be easier to understand.

When you've found the address for lives you can find out what code decreases your lives by rightclicking it and then choose "find out what writes to this address" and then die once in the game.
It'll then show all the addresses that wrote to that address . (with luck only 1)
just select it and choose replace and you've got infinite lives.

Now to make a trainer from the code you just replaced go to the trainer maker ,make a new entry, and select the code you replaced, fill in some other stuff, and hit ok. (you don't need to use the address part)

And to make it easier, the codes that you replace are automatically stored in the code list in the advanced options. (and if you load a table with codeentries it'll automatically show it, so even people that never used ce before will see there is something usefull there when they load your table)

the last 2 steps in the tutorial deal with this stuff. (5=code finding, 6=pointers)

ok let me be more specific, when I talked about lives, I wasn't talking about the thing I was trying to edit... I was talking about pointers in general.

Anyways, heres what i'm actually trying to do: Theres a game where the points (your score) are stored as a double, and when I find it, then, like the tutorial says: I find what writes to it, then look at the extra information and where it says what it most likely points to, then I search for that using 4 Bytes in hex, then after I find the address, I add it manually with the offset, and it comes out pointing to the points address.

Now the problem is, it's a game on internet explorer, and when I hit refresh, the pointer no longer has the right value, nor the original points address's value...

Basically I wanted it so that when I hit refresh and play again, I could edit the points without searching for it again.

ah, internet explorer.
thats propably a pointer to a pointer to a pointer to a pointer to a pointer to a pointer ......
it's a waste of time to find a static address in internet explorer because of the completly random content it can have.

the only thing that can help is having a easy thing to find like a piece of text and use that to recalculate the other addresses. But you'll be stuck with always having to scan the memory at least once
