A lot of people have either been confused or have no clue as to how to run Cheat Engine, and it's actually a very simple task.
Q/A:
Q: What is Cheat Engine?
A: Cheat engine is a live hex/binary editor that intercepts game code and allows you to manipulate it.
Q: Ok so what can it exactly do?
A: The revelations 2 script as of now allows you to swap models in the campaign and raid mode, allows weapon modification, gives a variety of cheating options to make the game a little bit easier, and can even go as far unlocking hidden files in game code that isn't available even with modding.
What you'll need: Cheat Engine 6.4/Rev2 Table
Tip: If you're using a 64 bit OS make sure you always run cheat engine 64 bit as values will not always pop if you use 32. If you're running a 32 OS then you won't have a choice so don't worry.
Step 1): First thing first is after you've downloaded/installed the files above you need to open up the game.
Step 2): Open Cheat Engine 6.4 and click on this button and select rev2.exe
Step 3): If all goes well Cheat Engine should connect to your game. Next you're going to need to open the cheat table which can be done by clicking the below button and browsing for your downloaded table. Once connected a window will pop up, just click ok and continue.
Step 4): If all is good you should see the text 'Enable' with a box to the left like so:
And that's all you have to do, all the scripts and codes will pop up and you'll be good to go! If a value has a question mark next to it, it means you need to populate it. To do that you would need to load the value in game, so let's say if you wanted to edit your BP you would need to go to a window that lists your BP. And if it was for ammo you need to go into the campaign or raid mode and either reload or aim your gun.
This is kind of an 'advanced' modding tutorial on how to use pointers for Rev2, this requires you to have limited knowledge of hex editing if you don't know how to do that then I don't recommend you try this.
If you don't feel the need to complete all of the game modes and S rank them all then I have the answers for you. The creator of the table was nice enough to generate a few points and they can be used to unlock some of the more annoying items in the game. Make sure you're in Raid mode and have the table enabled and the pointer box clicked in prior to trying this.
The pointer I will be using is pRaidBase. I will be showing you how to automatically unlock all Concept Arts. To unlock them you're going to use pRaidBase+D78 with the value of FFFFFFFF. And for a rule of thumb, the value FFFFFFFF = 4294967295.
Step 1): Click the add address manually button and click in the pointer box. This should extend the window and provide you with more options.
Step 2): In the box directly above 'Add Offset' you're going to type in 'pRaidBase'. This should change the value to the right of this box to 32BFD060.
Step 3): Now in the box directly above where you typed pRaidBase you're going to type in the numbers that appear after the + sign I posted above which would be D78 like this:
Step 4): After you've typed that in click ok and then the value should show up at the bottom of the table like so (Note your value isn't going to be the same as mine):
Step 5): Now that you actually have the value, you can go ahead and edit it. In your window click where my 42 is, so whatever your number is twice and it will open a new window open. In this window you're going to want to put 4294967295 inside of it and click okay. Once you've done that the concept art will unlock and you go ahead and view it all in the main Menu. If you want see the other pointers go through the forum where I linked you to the table.
I hope this helps you all understand cheat engine a little bit better, and if you have any questions please feel free to ask but I do request you go through the Rev2 Table forum as a lot of questions have been answered there. Happy hacking!
