I've been trying to find the base pointer for this game forever, it's just too complex and crashes too often when using needed options.

Note: All I want to do is read the address, so I just want to store it into a static address so I can always read the value.

What I'm resorting to is somehow to change the game's code to direct the memory address I want to read into a static address.

When I debug the game, I get the mov command, but there is important code below and above where it writes to the address. I was wondering if this is possible before I jump off the deep end and start fudging with it.

Can I change the line of code to jmp to a code cave that:

- stores the memory address into a static pointer
- do the operation that I overwrote with the "jmp" command
- return back to the next line of original code.

Does anyone have tutorials on this? I'm looking to write a program that nearly just reads current hp and target hp, I don't care about writing.

Thanks in advance.

What game is this and what have you tried sofar?
this helps others help you better
when you searched did you find any pointer att all?, ussually the pointer that points to the none static address is not far from it,
and dont forget to set the correct offset so it can find the address its pointing to otherwise you wont be able to freeze the pointers value , the value that you need to change in the address that changes.

I've actually traced it back about 6 levels to a green address. Saved that pointer, thought I had it.. restarted the game and it changed.

I've ran pointerscanners a bit and the injected crashes the game when I try to save and the default hasn't come up with any.

I've just spent too much time on it... and figure out some kind of injection could give me the solution I need.

Problem is: I'm experienced in C++, but not code injection.. i can figure that out, but i'm worried because the address of the opcode changeseverytime i start the game.

ahhhh help.

Yea, i sucsessfully created a 5 level pointer (using 5 offsets & memory addresses) from a static pointer, but it changed when i restarted.

If the address with the opcode that accesses the address changes every time you load the game, does that rule out using injection to create a cave to store the memory address into a static variable?

Pretty much so you need to find the base pointer address if you dont find that pointer adress you just cant throw the none static adress into any other static pointer, atleast what i know, you first need to find the right pointer witch points to the changing address and then set the correct offset, ones that is done you can build your cave and throw in your own code, thats the simple way,may not sound so simple but, ones you got it one time you it will be easier to do it the next time,
thats the way of dma, you cant just ignore it!

yes yes all this and more is possible..
try finding a code signature that places you around the desired area and use SigSeek_FindCode() to do this..(google it) using this method should provide greater stability..

once you have found a reliable Signature

you can use
DWORD SigStart = SigSeek_FindCode(Module,Module+ModSize,&Sig,Sizeof(Sig));
SigStart (+/-) some bytes to get the address written to in the code
and access it that way..

All I can find on the SigSeek function is 3 google sites about anti-dll injection, do you know of a site that has some examples?
