Is it possible to decomplie multimedia fusion game ?

[TiffanyHex]

I want to alter the behavior of enemies in a freeware game developed by Fallen Angel. The game was created in Multimedia Media Fusion engine. Actually I intend to hack the health bar , too.( of course , I tried everything I have found on this forum to find the health address but failed.)

When I was looking for health values while hacking Morrowind, I found out that it used float to store the values. I'm not familiar with Cheat Engine, but I know that you can use it to search for float values.

Many modern Games use float and is always a good alternative to try once the regular methods don't work. I did this on that Family Guy game for PSP and that is the only way I could find the code I was looking for.

I already tried it bro , also asked for help in their forum but no results. I am able to get only display health not the actual health though and this display health address changes frequently. This game is free and very small so I am hoping Helder , Abystus or you would hack it for me. :P

Edit : problem solved. The game uses 4 bytes value for health. A nice guy found it for me.

O.K., Good.

If you're familiar enough with the debugger you could have traced it back to its real address but since it was found no need for spending all that time on it.

Thanks for replying anyway I have some questions.. I know many PC games are written in C/C++ , if you decompile a free game for educational purposes , can you see the actual source code ? Do IDA Pro and OllyDBG are capable of getting the source code ? I intend to play with enemy characters and modify their behavior. One more simple question I have is If I have found the address for the health bar of an enemy , can this address lead me to the complete character mod of the enemy from where I can change the weapons they have ?

[Helder]

First part no there is no way to get the source code using debuggers atleast not to my knowledge or people would be doing it all the time and release their own full version of the game with whatever mods/hacks and infringe the authors rights.
Second part is yes if you are able to trace back to its location using ASM you will usually find tables with all the characters attributes including what equipment they have. I have done this in RPG games where I traced it back to what its static location is (meaning its always there and never changes) and it had all enemies values for everything associated with them. Not the easiest task to do depending on the complexity of the game and the platform its on.

thanks I am satisfied now.
