Pendo, can't you do it by packet editing?


I found the address by doing the following:

Getting to the end of a mission

Set the speed to 0.1

then walk into the space pod thingie

as soon as you see credits on the right set speed to 0 and search for the value, setting value type as ALL

when you get a load of values just quickly switch it to 0.1 then back to 0 and put in the new credit value

eventually you will end up with 1 or 2 addresses that you can change, but as soon as they are changed they will be reverted back to the original credit value.

Doesn't that just search for the non-encrypted value, or even just the visual value? If so, you can't do much with that actual value, unless it's possible to trace it back to where the value is being encrypted.

This actually gives me an idea.

Do tell. I'm all ears to help out wherever I can. Just seeing what accesses and writes to the value is a possibility, but I think that only works to a certain degree.

Yes exactly. I've been all evening trying to get this. Still nothing.
We have to have a way to guess the value before going to the pod thingy.. Like in the middle of the mission.

Perhaps searching for the hexadecimal of the number would yield better results? Simply tic the "hex" box in Cheat Engine and search for the hex values.

That doesn't change the fact that the value is encrypted, hexadecimal or not. I was looking at trying to search for a unknown initial value and just searching for 'changed value' or 'unchanged value' but then again, I don't even know what value the end of mission rewards changes. The only possibility I see is somehow to trace it back as I said before, but I have no clue how to even start on doing this. To be honest, at the moment I'm completely stuck on this.

Ugh. I didn't think it would. I've been up for a long time now. Getting tired. Losing my mind. Going to get some sleep and go to my girlfriends house. Then I'll come home and get back to work on finding a new credits hack.
You need address for the end of the mission credits since the address change every time when we play new mission(or play again)?

Do you remember what mission these are from? It might be mission specific.

first mission.
Why don't we update the old credits hack? i think it a bit easy than searching for credit.

That's actually what I was hoping to do but I ran into some issues. If I was going to figure out how to update the old credits hack I'd have seriously sit down and focus on it. Which honestly I can't do any time soon.
Honestly, at this point, it's easier to use the void key trick and just do Exterminate III missions. That combined with the hacks available gives you so much credits it's unreal.
