Using Cheat Engine for Oddworld

[kapteeni13]

Firstly you need Cheat Engine from here:
http://www.heijnen1.demon.nl/CheatEngine56.exe

Notice: If you dont trust Cheat Engine, dont download it


Beginning part:

* Open Abe's Oddysee/Exoddus
* When ingame pause and open Cheat Engine
* Click Computer Icon
* In list there should be AbeWin.exe or Exoddus.exe


No dieing, but crash if you turn back to enemies:

* Before opening make sure you have ddcheat enabled (Important)
* Be alive first, then go Cheat Engine
* Type in box "1" cause you are alive and hit 'First Scan';-)
* Go back to game and active ddcheat to tease Slig's so you get shot and killed... xD
* Back to Cheat Engine, now cause you are dead put in box '0' and hit 'Next Scan'
* Repeat part that says alive part execpt hit 'Next Scan'
* When there is only few/one result's in left box double click them/it to add in Cheat list below
* When you see value is '1' then enable "Freeze"

Value is running like this:
1 = Alive
0 = Dead

Abe's Size *Abe's Exoddus Only

* When you are in foreground search with value '256' and press 'First Scan'
* Search door or well or birdportal that makes you in background...
* Now when in background search in cheat engine with value '128' and hit 'Next Scan' :P
repeat until:
* Only 1 or 2 results in box
* When address is in box double click value to edit it. Give '128 or 256' to see small Abe or Giant Abe in action (or custom value for your taste, but remember if value is not 128 or 256 you cannot walk normally)

Value is running like this:
256 = Foreground
128 = Background

There will be coming more cheat's below or not.

Note: If something sounds wrong or weird, Ask/Fix it

I remember ages ago (2009 maybe?) there was a cheat engine cheat that I found in which you could get infinte bombs or meat or whatever.
I copied this from the video discripton:

I know some other people have uploaded videos on how to do this however this one is for PC version! This was a code I found on cheat engine (without tutorials). HOW TO DO: First open cheat engine. Second, set value type to byte. Then, pick up a piece of meat. Go back into cheat engine and search 1. Go into AO again and throw the meat. Back to cheat engine and next search value 1 and repeat until there is only one code left and then freeze that address when it is 1.

I found it to be rather useful, so I thought you might want it.

Another one was the X (can be used with Y) axis cheat. You can basically move Abe where you want without -ddcheat. Very handy.

This video was one large 29:00 video cut into smaller parts. Ignore the codes at the start, I was just showing what to do to do this when you've got herox codes. You can move Abe when the game is paused. There are some bugs. 1) Do not move Abe (L, R cheat) while he is hoisting to a higher screen. 2) Do not move Abe (L, R cheat) as he is going in a well. 3) Do not move be (L, R cheat) as a cutscene is on. If you do any of these, the game will crash. HOW TO: Start cheat engine. Then find Exoddus.exe, Start the ddcheat and then pause. Go back in cheat engine and enter the herox value as a 2 byte memory block (heroxy 876, 1903 you want 876). After you've done this, a load of codes will appear. Go back into the game and move Abe right or left with ddcheat then pause. Now enter the new herox value and click next scan. 2 codes will be left. Click on the top one then hold shift and click the 2nd one. Click the red arrow button that will add those addresses in twice. Then watch the begining of this video.

Realise I was 10 when I posted these, so spelling may not be 100% .

Same question i tried to look answer for it... :P
Fusionbly may know... cause he did it actually

[MeechMunchie]

Can someone just give me a basic explanation of how CheatEngine works? I once unsuccessfully tried to use it with Rayman 3.

[gishygleb]

Creature walks - choose 4 byte and search value 1. Stops - next scan value 0, 1, 0,... 1 adress left - change it's value (2 - rotate...).

I thought it was possible to do this by setting the mud's or Abe's size to a negative value like -256 or something, I've done it before but it was ages ago like those other cheats.

Somewhere on my computer I have this program I made that uses an Xbox 360 controller to control A mudokon on screen.

Though it needs cleaning up, I wrote it in C Sharp, it uses a sweet Memory Editor API I found on the Cheat Engine Forums.

My Xbox 360 controller doesn't seem to work with it unless I use the gamepad to keyboard/mouse programs.

No, what i ment was, someone is controlling abe with the keyboard, and someone else controls another mudokon on screen with a controller.

You may call it, 2 player :P

[gishygleb]

Rotate value - "2".

[Nitroeus]

i hacked a door with cheat engine
Values :
0 = Open
1 = Close
2 = ???
3 or higher value = Crash the game

[NovaMan]

Each door has its own address.
Opening one door with cheat engine only opens that specific door
and the other doors are still locked and needs the opened one after
each other to find the addresses for those doors.

This brings me special case where i tested editor/Cheat Engine in RuptureFarms I to open door for Zulag 2... Door opened, but when i entered to it Intro started to play and after that Abe came back from the same door...
