Im trying to get a small but simple cheat table together for Titan Quest, and finding the addresses for HP, MP, EXP, Gold etc... are easy.

But these addresses change every time you restart the game.

So i went about trying to find the pointers for these addresses and i managed to find them, however these pointers do NOT have static 'bases'.
When i scan the hex values, none of the addresses are 'Green' and backtracking through the regions memory does not help one bit.

Because of this, the pointers are all screwed up as well after a game restart.

I saw a pointer tutorial that says to scan what writes to the pointer but when i do that, nothing writes to it. I've been trying it with the EXP address first because that is the easiest (Hp, Mp have some ungodly multiplier on the values making exact value scanning impossible). What i'd do is set up the "Find out what writes to this pointer" on the exp pointer and go ingame, kill something, get exp, go back into CE and find that nothing has written to the pointer.

So my question is, how do i get a pointer/address which does not change every game restart?

Thanks.

multilevel pointers: a pointer to a pointer to a pointer to a pointer to the address you want

After finding the first pointer with no static base, find the pointer that points to that pointer, and repeat until you do get to a static base

why use writes when you can use accesses ? I'm pretty sure the tutorial even tells you to use find what access

yeah that's rreally a problem.. pointing it still back at the same hex value etc.. if i can't find it i try to do a reverse pointer scan...
and if pointer scan gives no luck i search some tut's and then managed how to get to a static adress... Very Happy

so don't give up your hope! Wink

Are you sure it's not just the address that's the same as the value ?
There's a big difference there (e.g offset 0 )

you need static address or pointer change restaring game all times

need green staic address and pointer scan no is good, work in your pc in anothers no work.

the best way for work in all pcs is search green address ( in rare cases this green address change )
