CE & VB.NET How I programatically change value

"How can I make that address a pointer..."

huh?


the game.exe instruction you want to change is:


80 78 04 00 | cmp byte ptr [eax+04],00

the bytes for that insruction are 80 78 04 00

the last byte, the 00, is the value it's being compared to.

change that last byte from a 0 to a 1 --> WriteProcessMemory().
(edit:^^ make sure the mem. region is writable before calling WriteProcessMemory..usually exec. regions aren't)

old instruction:
80 78 04 00 | cmp byte ptr [eax+04],00
new instruction:
80 78 04 01 | cmp byte ptr [eax+04],01

but I don't know what you mean to "make that address a pointer" -- you mean find a pointer to that address? Same way you find any pointer..? Sounds like a good case for "FindPattern()": if you know the gamecode you want to search for but can't find a static pointer to it. Find the game.exe code using FindPattern() if you can't find a static pointer list for it.
Changing 1 byte of that instruction has nothing to do with 'making something into a pointer'.

Well my problem is that I'm writing to an address specifically, e.g.

and when I sent my tool to a friend of mines he said it didn't worked on his computer... Now my question is if I simply add the base address of the game + the address I'm writing to, will it then work on his computer? e.g.

Will it work on his end?

*Edit*

just tested with BaseAddress + GameAddress and it didn't worked on my friend's computer...

How can I make or have a pointer to address 00493394? so whenever it's opened in whatever computer it will change the bytes correctly...?

post code. specifically the part declaring the memory addr and writing to it (..don't need to see the whole memory library).

"How can I make or have a pointer to address 00493394?"

mm well old games (32 bit, windows xp ?) used 0x00400000 for the base of the program..so 0x0493394 *looks like* that base + 93394 .. so, maybe.
you did the 93394 in hex right?
.MainModuleBase + &H93394, not mainmodulebase + 93394 ?
..post code.

It's ok, thank you for your effort in helping me anyways! I have solved all my issues so far~!

Thank you again~! Seem like the only person wanting to help

Best Regards

Ah, awesome, I'm glad the problem was solved. Thank you for saying 'thank you' : )

Can you help me on this other stuff?

Only if you can ask an informed question...not like those functions are built into vb ..someone made them -- I know as much about these functions as you do : |
