Cheat Engine

[Odi]

hey guys,

I was going to hax the fog of a strategic game and was succesful finding the offset line in the game process, so that I always could switch between fog on and off. I could see the whole map then but a problem appeared when I attacked my enemy while fog was off, the game went oos (out of synchronisation). I now know why it gets oos, its because disabling fog counts for my units (ships, stations) aswell and not just for the player, so disabling fog becomes a server sided hax cause of that fact.
Disabling fog just for the player not for the ships and stations is not possible, at least i havent found such a function.

Thats why Im looking for another method to disable fog just for the player which plays the game.. My first idea was to let the driver disable the fog texture. In this forum I got to know that it should be possible with cheat engine via direct x-mess function and that sounds very logical for me. I just dont know anything about direct x and so I hope someone in this forum can explain me what do I have to do with ce in this menu to deactivate the fog of that directx 8.0 game.
I would be very happy if someone could help me.
Thank you guys.

in directx mess set a key for 'toggle-fog' and then you can disably it by pressing a key

click advanced options
click directx mess
open the game's executable file
set a key on toggle-fog and click apply
and click ok to start the game

hi, I have done what you have told me but when I toggle fog in the game via direct x-mess then a new black fog appears which I can toggle on and off that way. Instead of toggling on off the fog of the game its just creating a new fog which hides everything on my monitor (everything is black), even the real game fog.
When I cycle through the textures (previous next) at the top left of the screen and I lock the fog texture it dosnt disappear. Nothing happens. Other textures disappear becomming white and not transparent which neither does help me.

All I want is to disable the fog texture out of the game. Is there no way to do this?


EDIT:
Is there really noone in this this forum who can help me? Has noone ever done this before? Thats really strange.
