Hey, this is my first post so welcome everyone.

For the past few days ive been trying to create a teleport hack for an old mmo, now only playable on a private server.

I've managed to isolate float value for one axis, and with use of "what writes to this" function ive gotten other two axis adresses.

Now the hard part, they can neither be frozen, nor edited = they immediatly go back old value.

remove all code that writes to it and manually edit them from that point on

yeah. Start with that one and see what happens. (Find what writes, and replace them all)

then change the coordinates and wait a minute (so the server finally gives up putting you back in place and accepts your current position) and then restore the replaced instructions with the orignal

it's not perfect, but it's a basic thing you could try

i did just that, and it worked, but it only moved my camera, not the character



edit: whenever i try to isolate X or Z i do the thing i learned from youtube tutorials: face north, move forward, decrease value, move backward, increase value etc. in the end i am down to 400-600 adresses. i freeze batches of them and the only reaction from the game i get is minor graphical glitches or 1-2 adresses doing funky thing with camera. never once i had my character truly stuck on any axis

Since you found the camera, go into first person view and search a range around the camera position. Then, instead of freezing and moving, teleport the batches by 1 until your character moves. That will enable you to find the true address quickly.

It's in the general settings according to google. Maybe delete the name incase it's against the rules.

In all my experiences making auto-walkers, teleporters, and the like I have found the camera is a different entity in the game than the player. You found the camera but cant find the player. By finding the camera and putting it into first person view, the X and Y coordinates should be near exact with the player. If you search the known coordinates within a very small range (camera +/- range), you should guarantee one of the results is the player. Then filtering down the results using the batch and write method to teleport your character a unit in a direction, you can find the correct values. once you find the correct values, find out what writes to it to create an AOB that lets you skip straight to the goodies in the future.

Good luck!

Perhaps consider trying different methods for searching. For example, you may try searching for character elevation instead. Do not always assume that one way is positive and one way is negative etc.. Also, avoid any 'unchanged' and 'exact' value searching.

Freezing values can work, but may still produce glitching or other artifacts to show up, so you may need to NOP the instruction(s) that write to the address to check to see if you have a workable address. You can also try to see if you are able to teleport through objects or not as another way to check.

Also consider the possibility, that, if you are not hosting the game server, that the data may not be handled locally. There could also have been deterrence measures implemented since you last played.
