Cheat Engine

[Sketchup1]

Greetings,

So I've figured out a way to modify the spawn time for Star Wars Battlefront 2 in cheat engine. It starts at 15 and goes down to zero and then back up again.

I want my mod to work on a dedicated server, which means it won't be practical to reapply the mod every time the server restarts or the game ends.

This means that I'll have to hex edit the Exe of the game in order to make it work.

How do I use my addresses in cheat engine to determine what modifications I should make to the Exe to make my changes permanent?

Any help is greatly appreciated; I know this is pretty obscure.

@Sketchup1:
1-do you know how to use ollydbg?
if yes: spot your modifications in ollydbg, right click->copy to executable
if no: we may not need it if you used aobscans.

2-I assume your mod is only made of one or several auto assembler scripts. Did you use the alloc/global alloc command?
if not: it'll make the job easier.
if yes: that's bad, you MUST remove those (global)allocs by finding a static code cave.

3-In your asm script, do you use module addressing ("Someexe.exe+123456:) or aobscan-based addressing?
if "Someexe.exe+123456:": I hope you know how to use olly, or can replace those labels by aobscans.
if using aobscans: you won't need ollydbg.
if using constants like "415000:": Boo, Shame on you! At least use module addressing.

4-(I'm pretty sure the answer is "no", but just in case) Do you use calls to functions that are in a .dll (like kernel32.Sleep, ntdll.strcmp,...) ?
if yes: even more problems...
if no: that's good !

Also posting your cheat table could avoid some nasty surprises.

You guys have gone so far over my head. I don't actually have a trainer. I just have several memory addresses (that arent constant) that I have to change. But how on earth do I find them in the exe itself?
