Updating Hacks?

[LostInTheDark]

So I'm trying to inject my hack into Comabt Arms but it won't work! I inject it, it says "Created with Redux's Hotkey Hack v1.1", and Combat Arms opens. It doesn't crash at all, I just login and start playing a game and when I push a hotkey it doesn't work. I was wondering what to you need to do to update a hack? I didn't touch anything except for the VC++ directories. I was thinking about updating the Nametags address but there aren't any very recent posts on that. Could somebody explain to me how to get the new addies? I know I have to use Kernel Detective or something like that and OllyDebugger.

If you are using Redux base, it already has signature scan for nametags. There should be no need to update addies manually. If you have taken this out of the hack for some reason and are using addies, then either replace the addies with the signature scan from the base, or you could log the addies (look for gellins address logger and you can use it a base and just add the nametag sigs to it to scan.

^ lol thats not the problem.
Nexon no longer uses gamestat take it out and it should work

Have they removed it on NA? Cause it's still in EU.

They didn't "remove" it. They just removed a check when GameStatus changes.

I still check for GameStatus.

So what seems to be the issue here? I didn't mess with any of the code. Also, I would still like to know how to update my addresses so that I can use more than just name tags.

I think the easiest way to update them (if you don't want to rely on new addies posted here on mpgh or elsewhere) is to either put signature scans in the hack or use a logger like I said. Gellin posted the source for his logger and it comes with a lot of the signatures you could need, then it isn't hard to find additional signatures by searching around a bit. If you want to know how to find the addresses and make signatures yourself there's probably someone else that can explain that in detail to you but it seems redundant to me to redo a task that someone has already done exceptionally well.

Btw, as you are still checking the gamestatus, might I ask if you have updated that address? Cause as I recall it, there is no signature scan for that in his base and if you're using an outdated addie, that's probably why it won't turn on.

I'm on my iPod now so I'll try to update GameStatus later when I get on my computer. And could you try to explain what a sig scan actually does? I know it updates addies but Im not sure how they work or even how to put them into a hack.

They look for certain bytes, hence a sort of signature that leads them to the correct address. I have never made any signatures myself so I don't know exactly how they work. If you have signatures it's simple to add them. Your hack already uses signature scans for nametags, look at that source. If you got signatures you only need to run them through the FindPattern function.

Another thing, I was looking at the nametag bytes and I'm pretty sure x90 makes it turn on for any hack. But then for the off one I think it was x75 or something like that. Is that different from any other address? I don't understand what bytes do and how to find those either.

I messed up lol. You need to take out the re spawn check because it inst used anymore i also took out game stats but your going to have to work on getting the keys to work when pressed.

Taking it out wont solve the problem. They removed the CHECK but it will still work if you disable it when you die.
