i want an instant build..in red alert 2 yuris revenge there is a build base and it took more time to complete some of them..and i want to choose only one or two building to get an instant build.
how do you get the exact address even if the no time is shown?
can unknown initial value and etc..can solve this?

you will have to know how to inject your own assembly code , if not then you will not get anywhere .

anyways the process would be

1.start to build a building then pause
2.scan for unknown variable
3.return to the game and let the building build for a little
4.scan for decreased value.
5.repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have a few addresses , your goal is to get just 1(but that rarely happens)

6.after your sure that you found the current built percentage of that building you would find what accesses the value and debug from there .

if your just starting hacking then i would recommend something easier.

could be increase or decrease , but its more likely decrease, since it is most likely a timer .

but it could also be a percentage complete , so if 100% is done it would start from 0 and increase.

hold on ill fix my instructions in the first post.

ok i fixed the instructions , they didnt make any sense , but now they do.

looks like your getting somewhere Very Happy

ok find out what writes to that address , and change that instruction to always push 0 , but that will probably also give the enemy instant build , so you might want to do a check.

i might download it and give it a try myself, but with my slow dsl it would take a while.

but that doesn't mean im going to straight up tell you how to do it , so just keep trying like you've been doing.

and yes , usually a little above where the value is stored/written there is a variable that holds what player its for , so if you do a check to make sure that you only change the code when your building then the other players will build at normal speed but you will have instant.
