Hey, I'm still a newb and so I was wondering if it is possible for it to be "impossible" to find a base pointer in a certain game? I have tried to find the base pointer of health in Neverwinter nights but the pointer always seems to change, I tried to find the pointer to the pointer but I might be doing it wrong as I don't come up with anything. Thanks for any info Very Happy

Not impossible, but hard.
Perhaps there are some instructions that modify the register before it breaks on a access and shows you the values, so you might have to do some tracing yourself.
Also, don't forget that when scanning for pointers it's someies usefull to change the array to scan to include the stack region (usually starting from 00120000)

you lost me on the first part about "instructions that modify the register before it breaks on a access and shows you the values" but I tried the second part, still comes up with the same amount of pointers. I'm having trouble digesting some of this, I think I may need some spoon feeding soon.
