Trainer working as intended. We will look at this game more later today. please read the instructions on how options work and how to best use them. The stats was something I tried to isolate and give people a way to sort of use SUPER DAMAGE by modifying the stats temporarily. There is other ways to do this, but I am wary to post an option that does this since people won't read how to properly use it and may activate it or leave on when enemy is using it and then their character is one shot killed by super powerful enemies.

The stats, when you modify them in the editor, are the REAL stats being used by the game AT THE TIME. The stats shown in the CHARACTER MENU are a COPY of the value of the real stats. The editor will NOT make those change, nor with they update when you update the REAL CURRENT stats. The modifications are TEMPORARY at best. Also, the stats, if showing ??? will NOT show your stats in combat so it's best to make the change to the value BEFORE You enter combat.

Again, you may have to do something to trigger the code that the editor intercepts for the values to show. Like drop item and pick it up, or some other thing. Likely if there is no cutscene, then the temp stats remain current until that happens.

I have no other suggestions.

I can add more or look into this later today to try and give you some more stuff, but this game is a big mess to try and work with.

The "stats" once you are in the game are stored in multiple places, multiple copies, and for multiple reasons. The game uses functions that are shared by a lot of things to copy things over and etc. Unfortunately, for now, and I spent a LOT of time trying to do this, and a lot of avenues, there is likely no "stats" editor coming. There is probably a "way" to do that, given unlimited time to work, but I have a zillion other titles and updates to contend with. I spent about 8 hours straight on this title to give you what we have, and that's with working through this engine which isn't the simplest to work with.

In short, I expect to see 100 option requests, but likely 99.9% of them just aren't doable, and I've probably tried to do many of the requests already. More will likely come for this trainer, but with it being in EA and I have other titles to work on, and the fact it's not a simple engine to divine data out of, we aren't able to do a lot of what is requested.

A SAVEGAME EDITOR is probably what would be best for this (editing the stats and weapons and attributes, and etc.), but there is going to take time for people to decipher that data, if at all. Trying to do this LIVE in memory is a harder nut to crack.

Cal

Well this does work to boost your stats but can also break the game. If you pick a wizard you will get bonus prepared spells due to high int but you don't know enough spells at low levels to fill it up and the game will not let you level up without your prepared spells full.

This makes a ton of sense. Thank you Cal.
I looked at the memory for the stats and watched it change and refresh for about an hour last night. There's realistically only the ability to trigger the reload / refresh code stack once changed (effectively level up). The only places I could see where it might work were:
- at character creation increasing the max points (did this from 27 to 50), but then you need to intercept the valid point check so you can proceed.
- at level 4, there's a new skill/ability point grant that can be selected. I tried to get that to increase the number of points successfully. but again would need to intercept the valid method so the player can proceed.

just my 2 cents if you look at it again. I used LLDB dev tools and replicated that in CoSMOS once if figured out the code items.

I don't know enough about the trainer architecture to suggest how to disable the validation check at the end of the 2 screens mentioned above.

Also for me editing the char stats does not work

Do not change anything so that the changes are visable when you continue your stats will be higher but it can break things.

Hi Cal,

I'm aware of that, but the guy I was quoting was responding to another person that was trying to edit Stats on Char Creation, since the trainer Stats don't work.

He seemed to have found a way to make it work so you can edit stats on char creation and have them high once you start the game, but anything I try to do at char creation simply causes the game to refuse to start (button greyed out), so I was hoping he'd explain how he did it.

Hey Grumble,

Sorry but you lost me, do you mean find all the various point values, then update them in CosMos and proceed, before the game "notices" you have changed it ? or how ??
