Hello,

i want to read the potsize from a poker game , which in case of this game is legal.
my aim is to create a potodd calculator but back to topic.

i want to get the potsize ( the money that lies on the table )

i also know that it is a string.

so now to my problem:

I found he dynamic address to this value... the problem is that the value changes after each round. i have about 5 sec to get the correct pointer.

and that is my problem i dont know how i should accomplish this issue. Do you have any ideas what i can do ?

thanks

Generic method for any online game with a time based thing:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Freeze the app with the pause option. This will look like you disconnected from the internet to them (Bad connection reason)

Then search for the string and hope it only finds one result

Then do a pointerscan for the result(s)

Next time you start the app pause again and do a rescan for the new string . (the old pointerlist might give a clue as to where the string is located now if you scroll arround so you can skip the manual searching)

Well if its a string its probably formatted from a numerical value before its shown on the screen. Try seeing if you can find that numeric value (if it exists) first.

Other then that you need to try to find a base pointer to the data. Or hook the allocation method the game uses to allocate the memory for the game data.

There are a few other ways to go about things but these are the two common ones.
