So far I am running into nothing but problems with it.
It has three initial values for HP two 4 bytes and a float.
this is my first attempt at doing anything more complex then just finding the value and locking them. i have tried pointer scans on all three which yielded no results i have attempted to track down the pointer manually which came up with numbers that mean little to nothing for me.

Am totally stuck at this point. I did successfully complete the Tutorials a few times.

if anyone has an idea am willing to listen

P.S. am finding more then a few lua entries

Can you specify what game you are trying to find the pointers on?

don't answer that if it's not allowed

anyhow , before you even start trying to find the pointer make sure that changing the value has an effect in the game

If it does not, find another address. Perhaps it's actually stored as the total damage taken

YS II Complete (USA) version 1.1.2

starting with both a 0 starting point and an unknown initial value and i could not find a value even remotely close

changing values in game does absolutely nothing and the code points to itself

addresses i found so sofar: 005FF9D4 4 byte hp value
0060B908 4 byte hp value
0061DF84 Float hp value seems to only effect the ui
0060B8FC 4 byte gold value


00452E7E - 68 D0B76000 - push YS2_WIN.EXE+20B7D0
00452E83 - B9 70B86000 - mov ecx,YS2_WIN.EXE+20B870
00452E88 - A3 08B96000 - mov [YS2_WIN.EXE+20B908],eax <<
00452E8D - E8 5EBE0000 - call YS2_WIN.EXE+5ECF0
00452E92 - 8B 0D 0CCD6000 - mov ecx,[YS2_WIN.EXE+20CD0C]

call ys2_win.exe+5ecfo = mov eax,00000024

EAX=00000072
EBX=00000000
ECX=0060B870
EDX=004C65D8
ESI=00002B88
EDI=0017FE58
ESP=0017FDB4
EBP=0017FE24
EIP=00452E8D

an example of what I am seeing. it just bounces around so much its hard to figure out where its going

if this is the instruction that affects your health:
Code:
00452E88 - A3 08B96000 - mov [YS2_WIN.EXE+20B908],eax <<

you can clearly see that your pointer for the health is:
Code:
YS2_WIN.EXE+20B908

just click : add manually and address,
paste this: YS2_WIN.EXE+20B908 in the address field, and you're done Smile
