Pointer Scanner Help
Posted: Thu Aug 03, 2017 6:23 pm
For the GPS 4 : Power and Revolution, I found the value for the postal office which was a green base address but the problem is that I am trying to find the base(base) address for it. Think of it like Services -> whole bunch services with one of them being postal office. So i am trying to get the base address for services. I used the address I got for postal office in the pointer scanner but doesn't this make the pointer scanner useless if the base address doesn't change and if so how would I arrive at the base address for category of services.
Using the Manual Method:
For postal office I got 223A4E8C
Then I used " what writes to this address and got - fstp dword ptr [esi+00000254] / esi - 223A4C38
Checked hex and searched for this value and got 5 results and while the addresses were made into a pointer with the offset which worked for the postal office but I am trying to make for it for the services category. Those 5 addresses never changed and were stuck on the value for postal office when I switched sections.
After using one of the addresses I repeated this step using what accessed this address and it was empty so I am stuck.
PS: I did the exact same thing on the third version of the game GPS3 using the manual method and it only required 1 pointer to make it work for the services category. But another guy who had a similar table had like 4 offsets and while I had 1 so I assumed he used the pointer scanner which is why I am trying it. Do the number of offsets matter?
