How to Mod any game by yourself!

The only problem with searching unknown values with netcheat (not that there are many other options) is you have to have an incredible amount of fortitude lol. Because if your search ranges are too large and netcheat returns more than about 2000000 results, it will crash. So you have to break down your search ranges to like 50000 increments to find anything, so it definitely helps if you know some of the ranges before hand (I realize that's not always possible). Also, your unknown values can be floats or ints, so that increases the search time hahaha. I have found that you usually need to look for a floating value when your dealing with non numerical things like heath/stamina bars etc. I know this is super vague, but I am not a pro, only commenting on my experience.

Usually when I want to search for unknown value I start searching for value > zero if the value is bigger than zero.

More useful advise! do you try both int and float values? What do you find more of, floats or ints?

Just focus on finding the changed value then compare it with the original. When you find it you can figure out which type it's.

Hello, really great tutorial!
I don't know PPC myself but I was learning how to use Netcheat and finding pointers till I found out most of these pointers are always dynamic.

Games I'm focusing on are Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 1. Can easily grab stamina or HP but it's a shame since I'd like for these things to stick, when I die or warp. Using both BLUS versions if anyone is interested in maybe helping me out, and hopefully show me where I'd need to go.

Anyways, I've gotten the dynamic pointer (in this case 326DACD4) for stamina in DeS and in Debugger.
Can't post links it seems, oh well.

I'm just wanting to lock stamina to constant max, which in my case is 88.

Also, would you have a copy of the CodeWizard version 1.2.6? I compiled mine from Github but it would've been easier if there was a place that was already compiled

Awesome work buddy 🙂 so can you tell me exactly which of these addresses it's stopping on when it breaks? It'd be defined with a small yellow arrow in ProDG when the breakpoint hits.
