[starterkit]

I search for my current gold and get one result: 18B0EC7C

I add it to the table, right click it, select 'find what writes to this address' and spend some gold.

The opcodes box has a single set of instructions:

00405996 - 89 13 - mov [ebx],edx


EAX=00000001
EBX=18B0EC7C
ECX=18B0EC6C
EDX=00000FB3
ESI=0D98B92C
EDI=00000004
ESP=0012D830
EBP=0012D880
EIP=00405998

Click the more info tab and I get:

00405994 - mov edx,[esi]
>>00405996 - mov [ebx],edx
0040998 - mov edx,[esi+04]
004099b - mov [ebx+04],edx

copy memory
The value of the pointer needed to find this address is probably 18B0EC7C

This is normal, the value between brackets should be the address you used "find what accesses/writes" on

I got zero results for 18B0EC7C.

I restarted and tried from the beginning again and got zilch again. Then I reset everything and tried again and got nothing again. So, I tried again using 'find what accesses this address' instead of writes to and I got two opcodes instead of one. Both of which said I was looking for 184C0FB8 which returned zero results.

A pointer scan of 184C0FB8 using the default settings returned 180218157 results. I reset the game, re-found my gold, and rescanned the pointer scan results for the new address. Zero pointers.

Having bashed my head against the same wall for a while now I decided to try looking for a different value:

[Dark Byte]

Look in the disassembler around there. Perhaps you can find out how esi gets it's value (eg perhaps an earlier LEA, or MOV ollowed by ADD)

[starterkit]

I couldn't find any leas or movs followed by adds.

Looking around in the disassembler my desired value is always stored as:
