Cheat Engine

[walkerneo]

My goal (for now) is to be able to send commands to the Call of Duty World at War game process as if they were entered through the game's console. I have experience in programming, but I don't know very much about the inner-workings of running processes or how to tinkle with them. I went through the Cheat Engine tutorial and I see that it's possible to edit opcodes and to run them in threads, but I didn't see anything about ways of finding the opcodes apart from working backward from variables and pointers.

I attempted to use the ultimap tool, but it blue screened my computer twice and wasn't working on my win7 vm.

Can anyone offer me some guidance on where I can learn more about what I'm trying to do?

You could use a debugger like olly and find the console function and figure out what params it takes.

I don't have an example how to do this, I've done it with WoW though years ago.

Hope this gives you some kind of lead...

I'm sure you could figure this information out with cheat engine also, I just prefer olly for these type of things. Now I'm interested to try it with cheat engine. I'll have a look tonight.

I've never used olly before. How would I find the console function with it? Are there any tutorials floating around?
