Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition

Resource data is encrypted. This game does some anti-cheating checks, so just turn on the script when you needed.

Only lock player resources, single player only
Image
Cheat Engine table scripts:

Code: Select all

    □Lock resources (skirmish map)
    □Steam, Xbox Games (maybe?): Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition  101.102.8319.0 /  https://opencheattables.com  /  CE 7.4

Post tagged as gamepass, but Xbox Games is not equal to Game Pass, I did not find other suitable tag....

Table may not be updated for Xbox games version. (I may not have Xbox game pass when game updated).
Technical analysis:

Spoiler

I'm not familiar with game hacking. Lucky the decrypt code is near to the address we found.

  • All displayed resources are stored as float format. After search values with CE, we will find the code that store displayed values:
    Image

  • Scroll up some code, we will find it's encrypted by some sub/xor operations
    Image

  • All values (Wood, food...) share the same decryption algorithm, get the value with index stored in rdx
    Image

  • Scroll up the code, there are 4 decryption keys. Table will not be working in Xbox games later if any key decryption changed after game update.
    Image

  • Here, I have two options:
    1. Reverse the decryption, write encrypted value to real value address.

    2. Traceback code, find where real address is. Playing game and gain resources & write the encrypted value to the address.

    I choose 1
  • The encrypted value stored in r10 pointer:

Working one (as is)

Currently I have no enough skill to revise it.

The game implemented more Anti Cheat algorithm. It will detect CE process and halt.
There may have way to hide CE process but I have no plan to study it.

I will not revise the table.
First, I cannot use built-in CE functions (i.e. find out what process access this address); game will crash.
Second, even I avoid to use CE functions above, a simple inject code also crash the game.

Again this is out of my knowledge. maybe it can be solved in DBVM but I did not test it.

The minor issue is I do not have so many free time now, because I just changed jobs.
