So CoSMOS does the same thing as CoSMOS right? Like CoSMOS the sort of things I want to modify can't be done by changing a value in the game and then re-scanning for changes. Example, I want to increase the backpack slot value in The Walking Dead Saints and Sinners. By default it's 27. Sure I can scan for "27" but there's no way to change the value in the game so next to impossible to find the memory address. CoSMOS and CoSMOS are only ever good for floats like lives, health, ammo etc and CH's trainers are examples of that. Or maybe I've just not seen anything as advanced as that but they're there somewhere?
Slot number, more day light before the bells and longer melee weapon durability are all that I'd like to change.

You're right. These are typically not findable via scanning for value. Another common approach is to search for something related to that which can be found via scanning for a value. Then using the debugger to figure out where its accessed and most of the time, it's accessed within the same function where your, for example backpack size is also getting accessed. This heavily depends on the game and the final way can be very differently. That's why most tutorials don't cover this topic.

Well it can't hurt to give it a try! Though when I unzip it Bit Defender immediately quarantines CHM64.DLL. Thinks it's infected with Gen:Variant.Razy.644429, trouble is I can't apply an exclusion since it's in a zip and to get the file out to exclude it I have to unzip it and I can't do that without it being removed. Vicious circle of doom.
EDIT
Found a way around my AV. Though have just tried finding the backpack slot count but changes I made no difference. Still, I didn't crash the game so that's a start. Maybe someone clever than me can make a table?

Disable BitDefender long enough to unzip the file then add an exception. BitDefender is the WORST AV when it comes to false positives.

Indeed it is. Turning it off completely is next to impossible though. I found a way to restore the file and then I could exclude the dll.
