Edit:
Solved! It was a simple logic bug! I thought of a way to maybe look for anomalies by printing shitloads of info and I found it!
Thanks everyone!
Summary:
* I am writing my first trainer (app that reads memory of another app)
About the game:
* This is Windows only
* The app I am altering is an offline 2d fighting game called MUGEN
* It is freeware/abandonware
* At no point was it ever commercial
How far along I am and what my code does:
* My code appears to fully work, it is only 118 lines long, well documented, on github, is read-only, alters no memory values
* The purpose of the code is to determine the winner of the fight, loser gets eliminated, find replacement fighter, repeat until all replacements are exhausted.
* I have written this trainer in 3 different languages: C++, C#, and Python, all 3 have the exact same issue, so it’s something about my methodology.
* All 3 codebases are available publicly on github
The issue:
* Sometimes it says the fights are “tied” at zero-zero after a fight is over, and I don’t know why. It doesn’t usually happen, it’s kinda random. Logs are below.
Output Logs:
* [below]
Additional:
* I have streaming software set up so that I can broadcast my entire desktop (game + trainer + editor), that way whoever decides to help me will not be required to install the game and can watch my PC in real time to monitor the output and maybe help me figure out why my round counters sometimes don’t work
