I am trying to hack gold in Warcraft 2. I found gold address in that game. Now I used "find out what accesses to this address". It got it says me The value of the pointer needed to find this address is probably 00523998. Now I searched for 03523998 in hex, but I got no results.

how is it possible that CE gives probable pointer but when I search for it I get no values. I never had such problems. I have always got results for probable pointers guessed by CE debugger.


Does anyone know what causes this and what's the alternative way to get pointer for it? I tried pointer scan but it doesn't work for this game.

is it 00523998 or 03523998

Because in the first case the address is already static and no need for a pointer

thanks for pointing out typo. It's 00523998. But it doesn't matter as this is dynamic.


When I search for gold I always end up with 3 addresses

1 static address (green) that holds other value with other map.
1 static address which value gets reset by game as soon as i change it.
1 dynamic addresses that holds gold value and which I can freely change

I'm having the same problem, with a different game though.

The money appears in CE as a static address, but freezing that value doesn't affect it, since it is always being overwritten by something. And the only pointers that come up through the 'What accesses/writes etc' don't exist...
