I've been trying to change how many 'tokens' I have on a singleplayer game. Unfortunately, i'm having trouble getting the address for these tokens. I currently have 0 tokens, and they are used to purchase gear.
I can click on a piece of gear and the game has text that says how many tokens I have. I searched for this text using the String search in Cheat engine and found the sentence, and this sentence shows how many tokens I have left. How can I somehow go further and find where this string reads my token amount from, and change that number?
It's possible, but depending on the structure of the game, it might take a bit of work. Do an 8 byte search for the address of the string, making sure you're in hex mode and be 100% sure that "Writable" is set to either (should have a dot in the box). From there, look at what points there by hitting "New Scan". There's a chance there'll be a ton of addresses, but if there are only a few, you can look at the disassembly and find where it concatenates the string with your tokens. Then you can look back at the previous instructions to find where it gets your number of tokens. _________________
