So... Usually I find gravity in my game (Dark age of camelot) within a range of 100...


So if my code is 10A82853, I'll do a search of from 10A82800 to 10A82899. See? And I'll monitor one of the numbers in that block of 100 that I get from search results.

For this game, I'm trying to find gravity, gravity is 0 when standing still, and when I jump, the gravity changes (goes up and down).



Well the addresses for gravity and height ALWAYS change, I don't know why. I can't ever save my cheat engines and have it work again.
Soooo, sometimes I get an address like 10A828A0 for height... Well, how would I search in a range of 100 with alphabet instead of numbers?

I wouldn't do it like... From 10A828A0 - to 10A828Z9? Would I? I'm confused...

You would do a byte comparison, using a function such as ReadProcessMemory, then manually calculating the address where the value is stored.

To get the address for height or gravity every time automatically you will need to find a pointer to it.

Well, the numbers change though. I have saved the code... But next time the addresses that work are different.
I can find gravity if it gives me numbers as the last 2 digits of the address, but if it gives me letters... That's where I'm stuck. I don't know how to find the block of letters.

The gravity, height, location... They're all within 100#s of each other. Can't figure out the damn gravity though.

Either find a pointer to the dynamic address, or search 0 when standing still, then search changed when jumping or moving.

Finding a pointer would be the best option, there has to be one, how else would the game know to point to a dynamic address?

Find out what accesses the gravity address, and then work out a pointer based on those addresses accessing it.

CE also has a pause while scanning function if i remember correctly, so you could scan 0 when still and changed when moving quite easily.

How exactly do I find a pointer? I notice some addresses move up and down WITH the address that makes it do something. Like my height in a game... 4 other addresses may follow the value of height, but won't govern it if changed.

Are those pointers?


Oh also, I tried the uhm... I scan all 0s, but none came up in my address box.

I don't know why...


Then I tried jumping while doing a changed value... Could not find gravity. If I did, it came in a HUUUUGE list of stuff. How do I sort it out?

When you find which address is really for gravity or height idk lol right click it and click pointer scan for this address. (then click default)

Then choose old pointerscan and click OK then it will start scanning... I suggest to wait for at least 200 pointers to appear in the pointerscan because many of them will point to incorrect address after you will restart the game. If you get pointers in the scan pretty fast you can wait till you get like 100 of them. and CLICK STOP. Now when you restart the game you can click on a random pointer and hope that it will work. Many pointers won't work, but if you will find a working one you will never need to look for address every time you restart the game

Just by looking at the address, i would say it is in a DLL. "Look at the module"
