[Help Request] Finding updated memory locations.

[MalixL]

Hi, I was hoping some one might be able to help.
I have the memory locations of a few things from wow 3.1.3 but I need to find their location in wow 3.2.

So far i've downloaded the wow 3.13 binary. Opened up two instances of CE. in one instance I've opened the wow 3.2 binary and in the other I've opened the wow 3.1.3 binary (wow(2).exe in the wow directory).

What I then do is, in the instance of CE with wow 3.1.3 running, I go to the known memory location. I then copy all the bytes in that area that don't look like they would have changed from 3.1.3 to 3.2 and then open the other instance of CE with 3.2 running and then do a search for those bytes in the same order.

Is this the right way to go about finding updated memory locations?
At the moment I'm trying to find the updated locations for the view range and render distance.

Hope that makes sense,
Thanks.

For the view range and render distance,
(same vars that are used in unknowned's hd-wow program)

Should I be trying to reverse the set_farclip function?

Should probably be using something other than Cheat Engine.

Perhaps, IDA? OllyDBG? Use a pattern from the older version and run it on the 3.2 wow.exe and you should come to it :\ of course, you need to allow for the addresses that could change in that pattern.

IDA's FindBinary function is great for this.
