Cheat Engine

[lockdown]

Hello every one. I need some help with what to do after you have successfully found memory address to values you want to change. I have always got by by just loading up cheat engine every time I want to hack something. But, I want to progress further and start saving my working in trainers, tables or both, so I do not have to continue to find the same old values over and over again.

Here is how I am going to show you where and what part I am stuck on to try to make this very easy to understand. I am going to put the steps I take to find gold in Civ5 and where I stop because I do not know where to go after.

1. With Civ5 load up and a live game going I start up CE and add Civ5 to the process
2. I have 5 gold so I search for 500 gold (civ5 for you) and get a return back of 294 results
3. Go back into Civ5 end turn to get more gold and go back into CE and add the new value and usually get 1 or 2 black address
4. Now at this point I can usually just change this memory address value and it takes effect in Civ5, but of course I'll lose the value and progress if I should kill the game and bring it back up, and also, I continue to go on to find the (green) base address or I think people call it static.
5. Add newly found address in the work area (bottom area)
6. Right-click on the memory address in the work area in choose "Find out what writes to this address" option.
7. Go back into Civ5 and end turn again to get more money
8. In the popup window of CE I get this, "25C6D9F9 - 89 41 08 - mov [ecx+08],eax"
9. I double click on that new found code and write down the number in the [] box which in my case is 08 or 8
10. Then where it says "copy memory, The value of the pointer needed to find this address is probably FE4E3240" I copy FE4E3240
11. I stop and close the popup window in CE I hit "new scan" check "hex" box then do scan for FE4E3240, I get one result, 2643F478
12. In the address box in the top-left of CE I highlight that 1 found memory address 2643F478 then click the button called "Add address Manually", center right of CE
13. In the "Add address" popup box I check "Pointer" box then add 2643F478 with a value of 8
14. Now the value of the pointer I just made matches that of the first address I added, signifying I have made one successful pointer, moving on.
15. Since I have not found the green (static/base) address I am going to keep going until I do.
16. Right click on the pointer I just made and choose option" Find out what writes to this address" option, then a popup box appears and I pick "Find out what writes to this pointer"
17. Again, go back into the game end my turn to gain more money and go back into CE to see if I have another result
18. I did not get a result so I "Stop" button then go back to the pointer and right-click and choose option, "Find out what access this address" option.
19. Go back into the game end turn again, and this time get 10 results back, all this this same code:

Count Instruction
196 25BC8433 - 8B 8E 54F40000 - mov ecx,[esi+0000F454]
196 25BC8440 - 8B 8E 54F40000 - mov ecx,[esi+0000F454]
10 25BCBFDD - 8B 89 54F40000 - mov ecx,[ecx+0000F454]
13 25BBFA60 - 8B 81 54F40000 - mov eax,[ecx+0000F454]
1 25BEFB06 - 8B 8E 54F40000 - mov ecx,[esi+0000F454]
1 25BCD433 - 8B 8D 54F40000 - mov ecx,[ebp+0000F454]
1 25BEC76E - 8B 8E 54F40000 - mov ecx,[esi+0000F454]
1 25BC811C - 8B 89 54F40000 - mov ecx,[ecx+0000F454]
1 25BEBC60 - 8B 8E 54F40000 - mov ecx,[esi+0000F454]
1 25BEC148 - 8B 9E 54F40000 - mov ebx,[esi+0000F454]

20. I do not like the ones with multiple Counts so I pick the first Instruction that has only one: 1 25BEFB06 - 8B 8E 54F40000 - mov ecx,[esi+0000F454]
21. Write down the stuff between [] F454 for the point and then copy what is listed under "copy memory, The value of the pinter needed to find this address is probably 26430024", which is 26430024
22. Stop and close the popup box and hit "New Scan" check Hex box then search for 26430024
23. I scroll down and find a green address: 25DBBA64
24. Highlight the green memory address then hit the button called "add address manually"
25. Check the pointer box add the address I just found, 26430024 and give it a value of F454
26. I hit the "Add Offset" button to add the other pointer from earlier and its value, which is 8.
27. Now I have the 2 level pointer created that leads to the green static address and all three address added in my work area match in value which matches in my game.
28. And here it ends. From this point on I do not know how to save my work in a trainer or table where it will work for later use.

I hope now you guys can tell me what to do next.

Note: If I go back and right click on that green address 25DBBA64 that is the address filed and go to or choose "Browse this memory region" I see the bytes code in the bottom pane next to 25DBBA64: 24 00 43 26 00 00 00 00 40 04 BA FF 01 00 00 00

And Here is the selected function copy of the above pane that it too shows bytes:

What piece of information do I take from here to input into a trainer or table of CE?

Slightly off topic, but just wondering.
Am I the only person that can see the symbols of functions in this game?
e.g: CvTreasury::GetGold is a pretty neat function to hook

Also, the *100 will break later in the game when for some reason cents are added to your money. I posted a custom type (money) somewhere in a civ5 topic that does this for you
