After a few months of leaving Mercenaries 2 alone from my Cheat-Engining, I finally figured out how to give the player +Inf amount of health. However, it shows up as a decimal something like 3.(place-random-numbers-here)E36, which is practically infinity. I tested my code and it worked for falls and such, but the effect for having health below 5 was enabled and if I threw a grenade I'd die. So I'm looking for some type of code that would tell the game to remain at maximum health, like how general value-freezing works.

Instead of trying to freeze your health within a specific range, just get the game to stop damaging your health in the first place?

That's too much crap.

What's the line that actually EDITS the health value in RAM?
Like, the one that does the sub/add or fsub/fadd or the write, whatever.

[Adrien]

the write instruction is at:
Mercenaries2.GMatrix2D::Swap+11F84A F3 0F11 40 04

And the write instruction is:
movss [eax+04],xmm0

But I can do adding and subbing operations using just mov and movss. For example, my code;

[Rydian]

Well movss is for dealing with a float, not an int, right?

I'll uhh... I'll read into that... Health in Mercenaries 2 is stored as a float, but when I use my code using 100 as an INT the value becomes -214....E36 or something like that. So the value is so large, it's negative. Yeah, it's "infinite" but it's not a static 100, which is what I want. If I NOP the write instruction, the value still gets changes whenever I test it, so NOPing is not an option.

I'll definitely change my code to #1120403456, though, and report as to how it goes. Thank you!

EDIT1: the code works, it has my health at a VERY static 100, which is nice, but it requires that the player have some 1-hit kill weapons on hand, like an anti-materiel rifle or a helicopter gunship rocket. Direct hits only, I'm afraid. This code not only affects the player, but every man, vehicle, and thingy thing. Objects use different code, which is also nice. Now I have to find what code tells the game to alter only the player's health when I do things like fall. This does not work under normal circumstances.

If my computer was capable of running the game I'd give it a shot but looking at the specs, my computer would probably crash upon alt tabbing out to CE lol. I wish you well mate.

Thank you for your help, anyway!

One shortcut I use now for writing static floats in AA is...
