I have been fiddling with CE for quite some time now (and still learning) and have stumbled upon an issue. I am working on a trainer; however I am not sure how I can turn "somefile.exe"+00A4F0AA into an pointer that can be directly converted into a decimal.

The goal is to convert this (I cannot post it as an image for some reason):

into something I can put into two variables such as these;

string pointer;
int[] offsets;

In order to use them in some other code.

Help appreciated!

  1. Get the base address of the module somefile.exe
  2. Add 0x00A4F0AA to that dword
  3. Read the dword at that address
  4. Add the next offset (i.e. 0x3B4) to the dword just read
  5. Repeat steps 3 & 4 using however many offsets you have
  6. You are now at the final address being pointed at
If you want the value itself, just dereference that last address.

I just learned how to do it in C# by getting the base address of the module as you mentioned!

Thank you, Hopefully other newcomers can use this information in the future! Smile

Snippet C# (if someone need it in the future, who knows):

Code:
int baseAddress = (int)myProcess[0].MainModule.BaseAddress; // Address of the game.exe - which was needed to add with the other pointers

int pointerAddress = baseAddress + HexToDec(healthValuePointer); // Final pointer address
