Cheat Engine

Eraser

There is a free game called slenderman's shadow http://www.slendermansshadow.com/

I tried to make a trainer for it but when you try to minimize it you can't move your mouse. It's stuck in the middle (similar to when you minimize counter strike game, it gets stuck in the top left corner). I tried using hotkey to pop up cheat engine but then the mouse gets stuck in the middle again. Is there any way around this? (using -window to launch it in the window does not work).

Might be a protector. Scan the file with ProtectionID. If its unprotected then I think you need to look for the api function which freezes the mouse. I have no idea which API you need to look for. Then open OllyDB load the game in olly. Set a breakpoint on the API, launch the game and use ALT TAB, or the Window button. If everything went fine Olly should break on it. From there you can simply patch it, its really easy to patch stuff like this. Example if there is a CALL ADRESS, you simply can NOP it. Or if there is a JUMP condition you can nop it too or make a permanent jump. It really depends on the codes behaviour.

The problem is most likely with SetCursorPos.

In cheat engine you can create hotkeys to toggle between mov edi, edi and ret nop for the beginning of that function.

Did you try pausing the game with the CE pause process option? (you can add a hotkey for that! mine is Shift+P)

Else run the game in a virtual machine and hack it, however that way you won't be able to create a trainer (but cheat systems will be unable to detect any cheats).
