This tutorial will cover how to find and change address values in any program.

Before we start searching for values you need to download Cheat Engine, the tool we will be using.

http://www.cheatengine.org/downloads.php (The latest at this time is 5.5, but any version will work)

Once that is installed you want to open up the windows game Pinball (START > All Programs > Games > Pinball)

Start up Cheat Engine

Start up Pinball

In cheat engine click on the flashing icon at the top left.

This will open a process list

Select pinball

Once pinball is selected, click Open.

Get any amount of points

Play the game until you have any amount of points.

I played one round without touching the ball and got 15750.

Then once you lose, go back to Cheat Engine.

Enter the point number into search box

Put the number of points you got in Pinball, into the search box shown above.

Since I got 15750 I put that number in there, and clicked scan.

Click Scan

Once you click scan you will notice stuff pop-up on the left side of the window.

Address:  00A50C62  Value: 15750 (That is our number)

Address:  00A54DEC  Value: 15750 (That is our number also)

Once you find some results from the search you are going to have to see which address is pointing at what.

A bit confusing but after the next couple steps it will make sense.

Get more points

Go back into Pinball and play another round, to get more points.

If you have the Cheat Engine window open and can see the Address values was you play.

You will notice that the values update as you get points.

Since both address update to the same values, they are the same.

One address keeps track of the actual score you have.

The other address is the score value displayed in the game window.

In my case the first address (00A50C62) is the actual point value

and the other is the number displayed in the game.

Knowing this just takes testing which I did before writing this tutorial. =)

To find out double click on one of addresses.

It will then move to the bottom part of the window.

I added both addresses

Should look like the above picture.

Once you have an address in the bottom, you are free to edit that address value.

Edit the value to anything

Double click the number under the value column, and you will be able to enter any number.

I made it a VERY large number, over 430 million to prove a point.

Once you edit the value, you do not want the game to rewrite that value so check the box under the Frozen column.

This will freeze the value where it is, and can’t be changed by the program you are editting.

Now that you have changed the value, and have the address frozen to that value.

Go back into Pinball, and play another round.

You will notice that as soon as you score any points it instantlly jumps from your previous score to your new edited score.

But the problem is that no matter how many times you score points, it changes back to your frozen value.

At this point you can uncheck the frozen checkbox, you never needed it to begin with in pinball, but some programs will change the value back if its not frozen.

If the program changes it on you, then check frozen and your problem is fixed.

I've got over 430 Million Points (I'm pro)

There you have it, I showed you how to change and edit values in Pinball, this works in ANY program.

It might just take you a bit of work and longer to find some values.  I’ll post other tutorials on more advanced memory hacks at a later time.

Until then, have fun with this simple method of memory hacking. =)

Notice:

I am not responsible for anything that happens to your ipod/phone.  Do this at your own risk.

This will erase EVERYTHING on your device.  Make sure you backup before proceeding.

Downloading:

First start off by downloading the latest version of Itunes from: “http://www.apple.com/itunes/download“.

Itunes Download

There is no point in jailbreaking an ipod/phone with old firmware so get the latest.

Go to this website: “http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware” and download the latest firmware for your device.

Firmware Download

Once you have all that you are going to need the tool to actually jailbreak your ipod/phone.

The tool we are going to be using it called redsn0w download it here: “http://theiphoneproject.org/mac/redsn0w-mac_0.7.2.zip”

Once you have downloaded all the files, you need to connect your ipod/phone to the computer.

Then open Itunes and wait for the device to sync and show up in itunes.

Open the device in itunes and you will see a button named “Restore”.

You are going to want to “Shift+Click” that button.

This will open a new window where you are going to want to navigate to the firmware you downloaded.

Now just let Itunes do its thing while the Ipod/phone get restored or updated to the firmware version you selected.

Once it is done, let the Ipod/Iphone boot up again.

Install:

Then unzip and run redsn0w.

Redsn0w Main Window

Click Browse and navigate to the firmware you just install on your ipod/phone.

After selecting it click Next.

Redsn0w will load and a new window with two options will appear.

Installer Options

You are going to want to install Cydia, this is the app that downloads all sorts of cool apps.

Click Next to continue.

Turn off the device

Turn off your ipod/phone and BEFORE clicking next make sure the device is off, (Hold the power button and slide the bar).

BEFORE CLICKING!  Pick up your device and get ready to hit the “Home” button.

As SOON as you click next start holding down the button.

Follow these instructions

Then wait 3 seconds as the next window will show you.

Then once it tells you hold down the power button and the home button for 10 seconds

And finally let go of the power and only hold the home for 30 seconds.

(Only hold it until the program continues on, then its safe to let go)

If done correctly it should take you into the install proccess.

If you did something wrong it will tell you that you put the device into recovery mode and not DFU mode.

Error

If you get that message just get ready and click next again.  No harm done.

The install process is fairly quick, just make sure you don’t touch the ipod/phone and don’t close the redsn0w program.

Now just wait until the jailbreak is complete.

Once the install has finished you will see the window below.

All Done

Once you see this, click Finish, and you have successfully jailbroken your ipod/phone.

On a new page now, you should have two new icons (depending on what installer options you selected).

Cydia and Icy.

There is a problem with the 3.0 firmware and Cydia+Icy.  They both don’t let you download and install apps.

But luck for you, there is a fix.

After you have successfully jailbroke your device, and you are able to run apps.

Rejailbreak it. Scroll back up to the Install process and preform all the steps over again.

You then can install and run apps properly with both Cydia and Icy.

Have fun with your new 3.0 jailborken Idevice.

My Jailbroken Ipod

Cydia Running

This will cover, the very basics of surfing in Counter-Strike: Source.

To start surfing you are going to want to join a surfing server, or create your own.

I’d recommend when first starting out to create your own, there is no need to wait for everyone to die to practice again.

If you are going to create your own server you are going to need a surfing map.

http://www.tr3nx.net/fpsb/tr3nx/surf_skyworld.bsp

surf_skyworld

Then navigate to your Counter-Strike folder, the default is:

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\YOURSTEAMACCOUNT\counter-strike source\cstrike\

Then drop that new downloaded “.bsp” file (which is the map) into the “Maps” folder.

Once the map is in the maps folder start up CS:S, then click on Create Server.

Change the map to surf_skyworld, and click start.

Once ingame, you will want to open your console window (default key: `, which is next to 1, above tab, and below esc)

If this doesn’t open anything, hit ESC click on Options click on the Keyboard tab, then click on Advanced.

Check off the box that says “Developer Console”

Then click ok, and ok again.

Now hit that ` key again.

You should see the console appear.

Type thses two commands into that window.

sv_airacceleration 1000

sv_accelerate 10

Then return to the game, and you are ready to begin.

If you have never surfed before, then this will be very challenging at first.

In the picture below, it shows the sides of the waves.

Waves are the objects in the map you can “surf” on.  Most look like triangles with 45 degree angles.

The different sides will be shown with colors, left will be blue. right will be red.

Surfing Sides

When beginning surfing there are only two keys you need to use. A and D

Never use W or S when surfing!!

If you are on the left side, hold D so you are walking towards the right side.

If you are on the right side, hold A so you are walking towards the left side.

This will keep you walking against the wall and you will “surf” or slide along the wave.

Surfing Keys

Now for your first surf down the wave, take the same path as I do in the pictures.

I went down the right side of the wave, and I am holding A.

I also am looking straight down the wave, towards the curve near the end of the wave.

Just keep looking at that same spot, and holding the A key.

First Time

When you are about to fly off the end of the wave, DO NOT let go of that A key, and DO NOT move your mouse.

Surf First Air

If done correctly, you should have no problems landing on that pyramid.

Once you land on it, since you are landing on the right side of it, you are going to need to hold A.

But since you should already be holding it.  You will slide on with no problems.

Pyramid Landing

When you are about to fall off the end of the pyramid.

You are going to want to move your mouse so you are facing the new wave.

Look to the right

You will then start moving in the direction you are looking.

The whole time you should still be holding down the A key.

Surfing On

Since you are transfering to a new wave side, you have to change the key you are holding

Let go of A and quickly press and hold down D.

Repeat these steps and you will make it to the end of the map with no problem.

Just remember, don’t look into the wave, this will cause you to lose speed.

Do not press W or S.

Anywhere you look, you will move as long as you are holding down A or D.

If you are on the right side of the wave hold down A, and on the left hold down D.

Good luck

Surfing takes forever to get it down, but once you do it can be great fun.

Start off opening a 450 x 140 canvas.

Use a background that you think would blend well with a dark render.

I’m going to use the simplest, Black (#000000)

Now I’m using a halo render, I like halo. :D

This is the render I am going to use:

Now apply the render to the signature the way you would like, I centered mine.

Change the hue and the setting you would like to meet your tastes.

Mine:

Apply a couple of brushes you would like.

On a new layer, use some new brushes, apply a texture, I’m going to use mosaic.

(Filter->Pixilate-> Mosiac-> I used 16 px)

Now Sharpen this about 2-3 times depending on the effect.

Set the layer to “Soft Light”.

Mine:

Now I like to have two renders on my signatures to show that all the render isn’t focused on one.

Add another render if you would like, otherwise continue on.

Add a couple final touches such as quick brushes, background fixes, or color placements.

Final:

Wamp (Windows, Apache2, Mysql5, PHP5)

First off you need to download the installer:

http://www.wampserver.com/en/download.php

Once you download the file from sourceforge, or your respected mirror.

You will want to run the installer.

The first thing that should popup is going to say that its not a good idea, to install this new version over the an exisiting version.  If you have never installed wamp before, you are safe to hit “Yes”, otherwise make sure you backup your bin folder and www folder.  Then uninstall wamp.

After clicking “Yes”, you will see this

Just click next to begin the install.  It will then ask you to agree to its license agreement.

Inorder to continue you have to agree so just do it.

Then it will ask where you would like to install wamp to, any location is fine.

Then it will ask if you would like to install some icons, Quick Launch icon, and/or Desktop icon.

This part is totally up to you, if you want these install then check them and click next.

After that it is going to show you a quick overview which is just the install location you selected.

Once clicking Install, the install proccess will begin

Once is complete you will want to check the box that says “Launch WampServer 2 Now”, then click “Finish”.

Once the install closes, the Wamp server will run.  You will have a little setup to do now.

It will ask you form some Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) information.  Just accept the defaults.

Otherwise if you have a SMTP server installed I have no idea why you wouldn’t already know how to install wamp or wouldn’t already have it installed.

Moving on…

That is the last thing you have to do inorder to install wamp.

Now you should have an Icon on your Taskbar, at the bottom right of your screen.

Left click that to open the menu

Click on the top option “Localhost”

This will launch your default browser, and will visit the site “http://localhost”

Congratulations, you have successfully install Wamp Server for windows.

I’ll be posting more tutorials that will be using the wamp server.  Stay tuned.

Have fun until then.
