Cheat Engine

Hello all,

So Assasin's Creed 3 being free I tried it out and it's fun.

Now, I installed Cheat Engine because I want to modify the game to have a lower base health, or receive double or triple damage, basically make the game harder.

I've found the health line, 100 being max, 0 death, it is a 4 Bytes.
Changing the value although does nothing in-game. When I search who writes to this adress, well, my lack of programming skills is revealed and I don't understand shit.

What would you suggest?

EDIT:
More precision, but I am not allowed by the forum to post URL images yet, so no screenshots sadly.

Using the "get hit" + next scan method I narrow it down to two adresses.
The "2275CF40" is the address which goes to zero when the character dies.
So I select this one I guess.

This is what I get when I know who writes to the address in the file I joined.

At this point I am lost.. But I open the disassembler because I have to, right? What should I do then?

If changing a value doesn't affect the real health in-game, modifying any instructions that access the address of that value probably won't do anything either.

Go look at other tables for AC3 and see how they implement health-related scripts. You should be able to guess the value type of health based on that.

DAMN, i was just hanging around CE looking for the same thing as you! I'm kinda noob on CE BTW. Razz

Noticed the same, is like if the "health" value we can get on CE is read-only, you can lock it or change it and nothing happens. And one value has a "delay" of 1 compared with the other... something weird. So we should find, maybe some way to change the damage values, or the max. health value. Each hit with the musket bayonet only decreases 5HP (or 6HP on the other value) Laughing

BTW, do you want to change the speed of day and time of day stuff? I get the float pointer for the "Time of Day", now a script that can alter the day speed is what i need.

Hi again, this few days I did the CE tutorial and was messing around with AC3... I tried something with the health stuff. Basically tried some shit with the Auto Assemble function, and ended with this code:
