There were also those fearless forums that still were updating them for a while, until the maker got annoyed that the git is partly redacted.It's not that the pointers were hard to find, at least when standing on the shoulders of all the others who worked on it previously, I had gotten the table to where I just needed to update the "base" pointer and the whole table would work... And then LOTS of game changes happened.
The values got all messed up (Example: BaseOffset + 10BB use to point to "Strength", now pointed to something completely different like "# of eggs") and it wasn't even just "well 7 new stats were added, so just increase the value by (7x 4 =) 28 bytes (+1C) and it all works again", things ended up in different orders.
And add on top of that, each 'image' version was split into it's own file and *each one* will have a different base offset, which is not a HUGE deal but does make it more work. Especially since each interpreter also requires different base offsets which means 15 different base offsets total: A Git/WinGit/Glulxe version for Danaume, a Git/WinGit/Glulxe version for Keriax, etc. etc. Sadly it just got too unwieldy to maintain while in a state of constant flux.
It also didn't help that the CheatEngine forums "shadow banned" the thread while it was still active, so it wasn't visible which lead to a decline in people... but that is kind of moot, as the thread is deleted now and I'm left with 8 shown posts out of 70 total. Also, I kinda forget my password... whoops.
I personally can't get the pointers to work at all, I can quickly and easily find the address on the current session, anything else is a nope.
