If you cannot get the Autorollers to work, or want to make them
work for a modde d game of BG1, BG2, or IWD, here are instructions
for finding offsets (Note that this is more complicated than for
the BGEE AutoRoller because of the lack of le vel 1 or 2 pointers
for these games): 1) Open up the ini file for the autoroller. Make
sure that "PROGRAM = " matches the name of your game window. 2)
Download a program which can search for memory values (Recommended
Cheat Engi ne). Instructions below are for Cheat Engine. 3) Open up
the game and get into character creation until the ability score
wind ow. 4) Open up cheat engine and link it to your game process,
then search for a byte value type with number of your current
strength. 5) Keep changing your strength and searching for it until
you have just 1 addres s result that is linked to your strength,
then double click it to add it to the bottom part of the window. 6)
Right click on the memory address you added then click "Pointer
scan for this address," and in the window that comes up, set max
level to 3 (the above games don't have any working ones at lower
than that), and maximum offset value should be fine at 10000 (If
none are found, go higher), then hit OK 7) Save the results to some
random file and you should see a list of different o ffsets. Now,
in order to find a stable set of offsets to use, do one or more of
the following: 7a) Close the game and reopen it while leaving cheat
engine and the list of poin ters open. Repeat steps 3-5, then in
the pointer scan window, click "Pointer Sca nner" followed by
"Rescan Memory," and enter the new address for strength in as the
address to find. This should reduce the number of pointers in the
list. 7b) Keep game running but exit out of character creation then
repeat steps 3-5. In the pointer scan window, click "Pointer
Scanner" followed by "Rescan Memory," and enter the new address for
strength in as the address to find. This should r educe the number
of pointers in the list. 8) After finding a pointer that seems to
correctly point to the right spot every time, pick one of them and
double click it from within the list. It should appe ar back in the
bottom part of the main cheat engine window. Right click it, and
hit change value -> Address. 9) In the window that appears, you
should see a box that says "XXXX.exe" +00YYYY YY where XXXX is the
exe file for your game and 00YYYYYY is the value you will change
OFFSET to in the ini file. In the box right above this one, this
value is OFFSET2, and in the box above that is OFFSET3. The next
box up is STRoffset, bu t it should definitely be the same as it
already was. Change these values in you r INI file and make sure to
keep the 0xZZZZ format for each offset. 10) After changing the
values in the ini file to the one you found, save the ini file and
test the autoroller.
