Re: Assembly: I've written some fairly small stuff in ARM. No experience in x86.From what you've written, I assume you 1) load the exe up with a bad save2) put a breakpoint somewhere likely3) Step through after the breakpoint and work out how it works4) Fix the bugI'm cool with 1, 3 and 4, but how have you worked out where to place your breakpoints?
And for the adding new variables, you presumably find the variable you want to affect then put in some new I/O and a little logic stuff to handle it.
If you could suggest a save/bug to investigate as a learning exercise
Have you made notes anywhere about what part of the code does what? Any hints on navigating the code or using ollydbg?
Sorry for disappearing (and for seeming like an arse if I did).Clearly, I never got round to doing the debugging and probably won't for a long time, if ever. Unfortunately, I have a lot to do at the moment and don't have the time to learn disassembly and the AC codebase.Hope you are well and that you found someone else to help you.
