Offset: Summary 1. What is it. The offset is the distance between the two addresses. Addresses are always written in hexadecimal. Offset too. The offset can be positive, if the second address is greater than the first or negative if not. Essentially offset is the amount (and direction: forward plus, minus - back) bytes which must move to get from the first to the second address. 2. For what. Let's say we have a game with silver and gold. The values are encrypted, so you do not able to find them directly. Silver is easy to obtain, so it is easy to find in the memory. Gold is much more difficult to obtain. Accordingly, the more difficult to find a memory address. But you know that gold is offset -3BA, relative to silver. How? We read somewhere, or on the basis of previous hacks have suggested, and it was confirmed. To find the gold you find silver in the memory. This is done simply. Next you add the offset (long tap on an item of gold -> offset calculator) and proceed to the memory address of gold. This is all. For example, your address 091857B4 for silver. Offset -3BA. Then gold will be on the address 091853FA. It is important to understand that not all games can be applied offset. If game have a different offset between silver and gold every restart, then this method will not work.
