I am trying to make a trainer for the number of Nodes the player has in Dead Space 2. I am trying to learn the process for complex pointers, so if you link a trainer, it is appreciated, but I still need this answered.

No matter how many times I rerun the pointer scanner with the new addresses for the Nodes, the list never gets smaller than 956,068...

CE 6.1
Addresses must be 32-bit enabled: Checked
Only find paths with a static address: Checked
Don't include pointers with read-only nodes: Checked
Stop traversing a path when a static has been found: Checked
Pointer path region: 00000000 to ffffffff
Improve pointerscan with gathered heap data: Unchecked

Max level: 5
Offset: 2048


Any ideas?

After the pointerscan close the game (and reboot windows preferably)

Then open the pointer results in the pointer window and click "pointer scanner->Rescan memory" (so do not do a new scan, do a rescan)

[deathfxu]

The pointer locations reset when I close or load a game. It takes 6 or 7 rescans to get it down to a static number of list items. I am not simply doing a new scan each time.

My thought was that this is some form of protection, but since I am not the most experienced, I cannot rule out something procedural.

I can assure you though that the pointers are resetting, and that I am filtering the original list based on the new addresses. Has anyone encountered this? Is this a protection mechanism? Where do I go from here?

Thank you tremendously.
