hey there,

for a flash game, i finally found out which Adresses are those i can edit, to manipulate the game.

The first char and the last 2 chars are always the same. Tried it out on 3 different computers and did some reboots to be sure.

What i basically do is, start the game, use "new scan" and "next scan" to find a value. Get about 8 Results, and picking those 2 which always got the same beginning and ending.

Then i wait for the games time to end.
After that I start a new game.
Both values reset to 0 and count up to 60 (seconds)
When they reach about 55 i reset them manually to 1, so i got aditional 59 Seconds to play

Is there a way to automatize this? It just costs too much coins, to play the game 1 round without any effort just to find the right values.
Also the swapping around between the game and CE costs some seconds.

Unfortunately resetting the game for another 59 seconds is all which works.
When i reset the game to more than 59 seconds or when i reset it 2 times, it crashes and doesnt credit me any points when it's finished.

So how can i automatize this Wink

Regards!

Two options here.

1 - Learn about actionscript, and edit the game's actionscript to make a hacked .swf that acts the way you want it to. There's multiple .swf/AS editing tools out there.

2 - You can use CE's speedhack and set the game's speed to 0 to freeze it while you're doing the scans, and have it scan for stuff in a certain memory range to make the scanning process easier?

okay well i'm still watching tutorials and reading a lot.

seems like what i need is a pointer.
i tried out 2 different ways to get a pointer.

one method worked first.
i got a pointer, restarted the game a few times and the pointer still worke.
but when i closed and opened the whole browser it didnt work anymore.

i got the feeling that there is a problem with the base adress.
unfortunately i have to use firefoxes' FlashPlayerPlugin_12_0_0_70.exe.

i think this process is like always different.
or i just didnt get the right pointer. =/

I didn't mention pointers because they're more trouble than they're worth when it comes to interpreted environments (flash, java, anything in a browser). There's no solid pointers, they'll all break when you do anything like restart the browser or update flash/java/whatever.

You can try downloading the standalone flash player app and running that, you'd have more success as the environment there is more sterile.

But making a hacked .swf by changing the actionscript (which is the flash coding) is generally what people do instead, because that will ALWAYS work.

okay i'll have a look at it. i already used the sothink swf decompiler but it seems like the game is protected. furthermore i cant get it to work lokally because it's communicating with the server and transmitting user-ids, points, coins etc..

is something like that even workaroundable?

edit: here is what i mean:

i can access sounds, sprites, texts etc. but the actions seem to be crypted. or am i just too stupid?^^

would you mind having a look at it? Wink

I've got no experience with AS obfuscation, and the forum says no help with online games, so I'm hush about this.

Nothing wrong with discussing methods as long as it's not game specific.

anyhow, obfuscated code is only a problem for the spoiled gamehacker.
Us asm gamehackers have been editing code blind from the start.
All you need to do is find the code you're interested in
From that point on, you can use the meaningless symbol as a way to look it up. (the symbol has to be a unique identifier)

Or you can just try to understand what the script could used for.
By testing and checking from which function it calls, what are the vars values, you can basically guess a lot.

But it still gonna take time, unless you have a copy of older version of games (I have like 5-6 GB folder with hundreds with old swf of games, just incase they decide to obfuscate it) and then you can look in the old swf for scripts that you believe could affect the game, and locate the file in the new swf (by like searching vars values, that's something that developers usually don't touch if they obfuscate).
