Mobius Front '83. Trouble with pointers?
Posted: Mon Sep 12, 2022 2:23 am
Hi, I've recently started playing mobius front '83 and in the game there are Phases of battle, in certain phases you get points for deploying troops. I looked around for a pre-existing cheat table and while there is a dead thread for the game there is no sign of anyone figuring this game out so I decided to try, but this is the first time I really tried so I am a bit lost on how to proceed. With that out of the way...
The value I am trying to edit has turned out to be a multi-level pointer, I am unsure how to describe the problem so hopefully the screenshot helps my description:
So you can see I find the point value I want, I find the pointer pointing to it, and then I find that one's pointer? I think. I've reloaded the level to do this a few times and 0647F108 seems to be the same "First Pointer" every time, but I can not figure out what writes to it. I try to look for stuff pointing to it but then as you can see I will find one address, and then that second address will... deload? I don't know what is happening here but it is preventing me from moving forwards as I don't know what I should be looking for/doing to proceed and hope one of you kind gentlepeople can help. Thank you for your time.
