 Posted: Wed Jul 24, 2019 2:18 pm Post subject: Struggling to input negatives for a specific game |
 |
|
Basically, I am trying to change a value on a slider to a negative so the use of said slider will actually give the 'negative' to the person using it instead of depleting said resource. Locating the address is simple enough. If i freeze the address value and then set is to a negative it will remain negative in CE, but would bounce between the desired number and a flat 0 constantly. Would really appreciate some help on this one.

Are you sure it's a negative value that goes there and not a positive with some flag stored elsewhere? |

Well, when I insert a positive number it reads and functions correctly. So if your guess is correct, how would that work if i may ask?

The game probably checks if it's less than 0, and if so, set it to 0.
Look at what's writing 0 to the address and back trace it from there. You can probably look at a nearby read from the address to get a good range of instructions to check.

Well, would anyone be able to kinda give me a little bit of a crash course on this stuff since i am pretty much self taught and my knowledge/understanding of this software is a mess.
I have a rough idea on how to find addresses that write to and read from the address I am currently trying to edit, but once I find them, to be honest I have no idea what I'm looking at.
Any help would very greatly appreciated.

| Add address to address list, right click, find out what writes, look for the code that resets the value and analyze. |

Ok, gonna see what i can come up with. Hope i come right x_x.
[Update]
Ok, so I had a look at what writes to the address. There's 4 things that write to it, and to be honest this is the part that kills my brain. How would I isolate the thing that changes it back to 0?
[2nd Update]
I came right. Thank you so much for the input everyone.
