Posted: Sun Jun 15, 2014 12:39 pm Post subject: How to change a value IMMEDIATELY??

Using Auto Assembler scripts to increase health, the health only increases if I get hurt. Is there a way to immediately change the health value??
Confused

Code:

[ENABLE]
//code from here to '[DISABLE]' will be used to enable the cheat
alloc(newmem,512)
label(returnhere)
label(exit)

newmem:
mov [edi+14],(float)44425.0

exit:
jmp returnhere

"Dunia.dll"+52221C:
jmp newmem
returnhere:

[DISABLE]
//code from here till the end of the code will be used to disable the cheat
dealloc(newmem)
"Dunia.dll"+52221C:
movss [edi+14],xmm0
//Alt: db F3 0F 11 47 14

There's 2 methods that I find useful, but they both require a pointer to your health. 1. Hook somewhere else in the game code that is constantly updating something (player position for example) 2. Use a createthread loop to constantly overwrite the data.

Please can you elaborate the 2nd option, because in the 1st option, the value gets constantly updated only when the script is addressed to change the value... _________________ Don't underestimate the power of a common code.

You'll need a pointer to the address of the value that you want to change,if you have one,then post it here and I'll make scripts for you,you can't do anything without a pointer.

There's a third option,this one is elegant:using Lua,you can make it write the value constantly,or just write it once,again,a pointer is needed.

-Use an instruction that accesses your health...not writes to it. If there are none, follow what others have said and try injecting somewhere else (within the same structure), or use a pointer (with or without a script).

Pretty much this, because chances are that instruction is constantly updating like every 1 ms

You can also change CE update timers from 500ms to 1ms. I'm unsure if auto assemble is applied for that though

Injecting code in an instruction that gets accessed frequently will work,but it won't write the value immediately,for example,the code that accesses the health might not get executed when the program is paused,so if you enable,then disable the script without unpausing the game,nothing will change,however,if you use createthread or the Lua solution,then enabling the script will modify the values immediately.

Consider the following situation:You are playing a game where there is a powerup:invisible mode that lasts until you finish a level,you are doing code injection in the part that accesses your invisible flag (it's 0 when false and 1 when true) to give yourself the powerup,you enable the script and everything works correctly,then when you'll disable the script,you'll still have that powerup,even if the disable part restored the original code,you'll have to use either luacall or createthread to set it to 0.

Also,the code that reads your hp might access other structures (enemies hp).

Again,post your pointer and I'll use different approaches to show you how to do it.

-All you have to do is write the enable/disable function in to the script...and just let script run always.

There are disadvantages to using pointers, so it is preferable to reserve them as a last resort.

The OP said that he wants to change the value immediately when the script gets enabled.

Yes,as I said,it should work fine that way,I generally inject code in the part that accesses hp,but I also inject in the part that changes the hp,because you may still die even if you set your hp to 100 every second and take more than 100 damage at once,the code that checks if your hp is greater than 0 is generally below the one that writes to your hp.
In the disable part,to restore the old hp value,you could add a 'luacall(hp = readFloat( readInteger( 'lvlonepointer' ) ) )'
and in the disable part,a 'luacall(writeFloat( readInteger( 'lvlonepointer' , hp ) ) )'

Then what if you want to disable it?If you are giving your table to other people,then you should expect them to try out every script,also,it's easy to restore the original value even without using a pointer,example code:

Code:

[enable]
alloc(m,1024)
registersymbol(m)
m:
dw 0
lea ebx,[ecx+4] //ebx gets changed anyway
mov [m],ebx
mov [ecx+4],1
mov ebx,[ecx+4] // This reads
jmp 'addressofjumpedcode'+5
'addressofjumpedcode':
jmp m+4
db 90
[disable]
luacall(writeInteger( readInteger'm' , 0 ) )
dealloc(m)
'addressofjumpedcode':
db ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? //Restore original bytes
unregistersymbol(m)

-NOP'ing the write instruction is common sense, but that's irrelevant.

-Not sure what you're saying here. Even with consolidated scripts, enable/disable functions can be written in for every cheat.

-No one is arguing that. You were touting the use of pointers, not me. I think scripts are better.

There is no right or wrong, just preferred. There is also nothing wrong with using LUA, if you know how. I'd like to learn more, myself.

If you restore only the original code in the disable part,it won't restore the original value,so it may still have the 'enabled' effect in the game,and you cannot restore the original value without using createthread or luacall,sorry if I was not clear enough.

make a alloc store value of [edi+14] into it then you can add it manually then edit it as you wish no need to get complicated.

add address manually with a pointer which should be 0

Code:

[ENABLE]
//code from here to '[DISABLE]' will be used to enable the cheat
alloc(newmem,64)
globalalloc(_health,8)
label(returnhere)
label(exit)

newmem:
push eax
lea eax,[edi+14]
mov [_health],eax
pop eax
movss [edi+14],xmm0

exit:
jmp returnhere

"Dunia.dll"+52221C:
jmp newmem
returnhere:

[DISABLE]
//code from here till the end of the code will be used to disable the cheat
dealloc(newmem)
"Dunia.dll"+52221C:
movss [edi+14],xmm0
unregistersymbol(_health) //remove this line if you want the pointer to work efter you disable the cheat
//Alt: db F3 0F 11 47 14
