Capturing player stats using cheatengine

Post by wannahavefun12 »

Hi All,

I am new to Oolite and thus have a very hard time in combat. I used Cheat Engine while playing Oolite in Window mode to capture the forward and aft shield values so that I can cheat using them. I searched with datatype 'int32' but it did not capture the address for those parameters. So does anyone know how those addresses for forward and aft shield can be found? I just want to practice combat with cheat to get good at it.

Thanks.

Sorry - don't know about this sort of thing ... but was the in-game Tutorial really no help? (http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Tutorial)

And - Welcome to the Bulletin Boards! The friendliest this side of Riedquat! Enjoy!!

Oh! ... and whatever happened to wannahavefuns 1-11? Did they end up eating vacuum?

This feels like you’re working too hard for your cheats! Most players, when looking for ways to get ahead, usually just resort to just editing the save file to award yourself lots of money in order to purchase all the upgrades you can eat.

Can I also recommend having a browse through some of the [EliteWiki] combat tactics on the wiki? There’s a lot of great advice on how to survive combat.

Maybe we need a cheat guide...
  1. Edit savegame and increase your cash to insane value
  2. Try traveling to a planet with high techlevel so you can actually buy most of the nice upgrades, but
  3. along the way check the available ships to see which one you feel comfortable with
  4. Finally be aware that on the highest techlevel one or the other upgrade may be considered illegal and gets removed so you may need to find another planet to stock up again.

You can use a simple script to make your shields nearly unbreakable, I use it sometimes to observe battles I started. :lol:

So that's why the Devil's Triangle is called the Devil's Triangle....

That's is so that if other wannahavefuns join they will never have to hit the number 12. ;)

I'm just trying to be invulnerable, so that I can just mow through enemies without looking at my armor. A bit crude, I know. But I just want to visit all the systems and galaxies and I don't have the time and patience to be good at combat.

Please tell me how? Do I have to write an OXP?

Guys, I figured this out. If anyone wondering, you need to write an OXP and use these following events and properties.

Code: Select all

this.shipBeingAttacked
this.shipBeingAttackedByCloaked
player.ship.aftShield
player.ship.maxAftShield
player.ship.forwardShield
player.ship.maxForwardShield

	player.ship.forwardShield = player.ship.maxForwardShield;
	player.ship.aftShield = player.ship.maxAftShield;
}
Something like that ? :wink:

Nah, I use this. This makes you immune to all laser attacks.

Code: Select all

this.shipBeingAttacked = function(whom)
{
     player.ship.aftShield = player.ship.maxAftShield;
     player.ship.forwardShield = player.ship.maxForwardShield;
}

this.shipBeingAttackedByCloaked = function()
{
     player.ship.aftShield = player.ship.maxAftShield;
     player.ship.forwardShield = player.ship.maxForwardShield;
}

Lasers yes, missiles or some OXP weapons no.
