Hey everyone! I'm really sorry for starting a new thread, but this is really my first time ever searching for pointers and I'm kind of lost. I started off using T-search, then Art-Money, then Cheatengine, and now I've moved to MHS(I think this one is by FAR the easiest to use).
ANYWAYS, I used Josese's tutorial and I followed it word-for-word, step-by-step, it's worked pretty well but theres a few things I don't quite understand.
Here's what I've got:
A couple questions now:
1.) I'm guessing since my shortest distance was finally green, that I've finally found my pointer. (please say yes)
2.)In Josese's tutorial it only took a few tries to find the static pointer, now I understand all games are different, but 16 levels seems a little high. Is it possible that I've just encountered a couple loops? I don't know if this is even applicable but in my final pointer I've got a couple offsets that are the same:
[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[0x00A4C65C]+0x520]+0x8]+0x8]+0x30]+0x4]+0x0]+0x14]+0x68]+0x75C]+0x34]+0x18]+0x68]+0x8]+0x10]+12C
I've got 3 offsets that are 0x8... if that even means anything...
3.)Ok, so since I've found my static green pointer that works with my original value, what the hell do i do with it now? If i were to leave MHS open, restart my game, and reopen the process with MHS, would it point to the right address? Or is there something more I have to do with my static address?
I've got one last question about modules, here's what I've got:
4.) So yeah, L. spiro said something about adding "h" to the end of the module (from Josese's thread) I did a search and someone said something about when you add an h, all it means is it turn it to hexidecimal kind of like 0xwhatever(i have no idea what adding an h to the module would ACTUALLY do >.<). In MY case is there anything I have to do to my module?
Alright, well sorry for being a noob, but hey, I gotta start somewhere eh? Also my biggest question has to be #3, I just want to know what I have to do with my static adress, or if I just leave it and it'll work perfectly.
THANKS for any help guys, I really really really appreciate it, I've been trying to figure out these pointer thingies for about 4 or 5 days now. Also sorry for the essay of a post...
(just if your wondering, i'm working on the sims3, hahah yeah, i know, it's gay, but I thought i'd start somewhere XD)
