Hello all

I know their is a few topics reguarding this subject already, but I feel that none of them answer my questions in a way I can understand, I might be stupid or some I don't know.

Anyhow..
I have found what I belive is the base address of my character, I belive so since currentHp, maxHp and gold, all these have the same origin (00B2DCB4).

Max Hp: 00B2DCB4 + DC + 14C
Current Hp: 00B2DCB4 + DC + 148
Gold : 00B2DCB4 + D8 + F8

(1) How do i find the offset other things? Like, position, mana, xp, attack power etc.
I could probably find them the same way i found these three, but it's tedious and i hope there is a smarter / faster way.

(2) And how do i find the other characters? The AI have characters as well, with the same attributes.
I thought games where developed with a tree structure, like first there is "object"s. And "object"s have X subclasses like characters, vehicles, nodes (of other stuff).
Then my character should be a part of an array with other characters, so if I add another offset to my base address I would access another character. And if I then add the same offsets for my Hp, I would get his Hp. No?
Ofc different games are developed in different way's, but there is always similarities.

Anyone know?

Inb4 links to "let me google that for you" / replies implying that I should search first:
1. Read the first two lines I wrote.
2. Don't even bother replying if you are going to be a smartass/smarty pants.


Thanks in advance.

1:
Get the address of hp, decrease with 14c and fill that address into data dissect. With luck you will easily recognize the addresses for mana and xp and position.perhaps also attack power

2:
Basically yes, but sometimes it can alse be cotrolled by an offset n the middle like DC. By how much to change can be variable for each game. In this example i'd guess differences of at least 8 bytes
I would try a higher level pointer though, as the one you have now is quite low which is most likely the path taken by the gui rendering
