Hello, so i am attempting to find the address of the player's name in an mmo. I get a list of possible address so i did a readprocessmemory in c++ with my buffer as a string but when i cout its a number value i tried all the address's that matched the playername i understand that the address will change when game changes but shouldn't it display properly for testing. Well i know i am approaching this wrong.

Second is i want to display the damage the player although i believe i have found the base address i am not sure if it is reliable. How should i go around getting the amount of damage a player has done. I am using c++ and just started looking into this as it looks interesting and to broaden my programming knowledge .

Thank you for your time

1) If your c++ program outputs a number instead of a string, then something's wrong with your c++ program. This isn't a c++ forum.

2) Since you're hacking an MMO, you'll have a hard time finding out how damage someone dealt, since that's probably handled by the server. I think your best bet is to find the code that's responsible for displaying those damage notifications (you know, most games display stuff like "-12 hp" in red text or something similar) and do a code injection there.
