Cheat Engine

Hi all. I've been lurking on this forum for the last few days reading as many pointer tutes as I could find. I'm creating a Bot for the MMO Archlord. The Bot itself works fine, but I have to use Cheat Engine every time I restart the game to get the new Health and Name addresses. So after hearing that I could find the base addresses using Cheat Engine I ambled over here and started digging around. I've followed the tutes as best I could but I've hit a road block. I'll explain step by step what I'm doing:

Step 1: I'm doing a scan for the health value of a mob. The mobs Max health is always 731. I find two addresses. One for the Max Health, the other for the Current Health. Interestingly, I've found that no matter what the addresses change to after the game client is restarted, it's always in the range of 0Cxxxxxx. (See attachment step_1&2.jpg part 1)

Step 2: Next I use 'Find out what writes to this address' on 0C8BF8B0 and find the value of the pointer, and the offset. This offset never seems to change, even after the game client is restarted. (See attachment step_1&2.jpg part 2)

Step 3: I scan with the pointer value and find several address. I take the first one off the top and add it manually to the address window, along with the offset. (See attachment step_3.jpg)

Step 4: Seeing that I don't yet have a base address I do a 'Find out what writes to the address' again, selecting 'Find out what writes to this pointer'. (See attachment step_4.jpg)

But this is where I come unstuck. The opcode window comes up and I run around in game changing the health value, but nothing comes up in the window. So I cannot continue to follow the pointers back to the base address. I've tried following the code back to see what writes to ecx, before the instruction - mov [ecx+00000720], edx - but I get hopelessly lost after a few hundred lines of code. My question is, am I making a mistake somewhere along the way? Am I missing some important step from the tutes, and not seeing it?

I'd really appreciate any help you guys can give me on this. I'm not a coder. I don't know ASM beyond the stuff I did in Micro-Processor Fundamentals at college, so I'm having a hard time knowing what step to take next.

P.S. Sorry about the sizable attachments. As a new member I'm not allow to post URLs, so I couldn't put the pictures inside my post, with links from photo bucket. It's looks at bit gaudy but there's naught I can do. Sad

One of those addresses from step three IS your base pointer. Add them all to the list, restart your game, and see which one is still pointing to HP.

Ah, ok. You've got a multilevel pointer, then.
The pointer wouldn't change just when your HP changes. Do "see what writes to this address" and change maps or logoff and on.

Unfortunately nothing seems to change this pointer while the program is running. Logging out, logging in, teleporting, dying, nothing seems to change it. Looks like I'm going to have to try and trace the code back and find where the register is first given the address. Sad

Thanks for the suggestions.

Try all three modes, Fidn out what acess write and read, always pick the top option... if this doesnt work do a pointer scan.. and set max level to 6
don't forget there are some adresses out there that cant be pointed at espically the oens in the 7FFF

hmmm, I don't remember archlord giving me this much trouble when I played with it. Granted, that was a while ago.
Oh! Just thought of something. Add the code to the code list and do "Find out what addresses this code reads from". Hopefully, itll only read from one and hopefully, that one will be the base pointer.

Well apparently its not halfprime, which is why it changes after a restart.
Make use of CE's pointer scanner if your not turning up any results.
Manually doing it is a chore past a couple of levels and seldom useful.

Whoops, was thinking he had the code, not the address.
Try looking for other stuff. Maybe they share the same base pointer.

Well, I've tried almost everything suggested, and a few more to boot and nothing has come up. I'm just going to have to resign myself to having to search out the address every time I want to use my bot. Such is life. Thanks for all the suggestions guys and/or gals. Smile
