CE & VB.NET How I programatically change value

Well is not that type of regular value... is kind of a pointer inception thing going around...

I have this pointer:


And the value I want to modify is an actual address that is accessing that pointer... which is constantly comparing if the value is either 1 or 0...





How can I make that address a pointer so I can replace:
To

???

I'm using ReadWritingMemory Module from master131 and the Reading / writing pointers from Lovordoman or something like that

"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'.

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.

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

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 : |
