Hello,
I have a problem with memory editing in C#.
I need a way to find out the memory value of 'gta-sa' (0x2C0000) in C# as it changes every time the application starts.

I tried looking on Google but I dont think I'm wording the question correctly.

Your going about it wrong. You open the process as if it was a file and start reading from the beginning of the process, an example of which you can find at Minesweeper, Behind the scenes[^].

I use the MemorySharp library to write to memory.

Any way to do it with MemorySharp?

I don't know. I've never used that library and don't intend to start now.

Solution 2

I have found a solution.

C#

Process proc = Process.GetProcessesByName("gta-sa").First();
IntPtr startOffset = proc.MainModule.BaseAddress; 
IntPtr endOffset = IntPtr.Add(startOffset ,proc.MainModule.ModuleMemorySize);

This will find the base address of the process I need.
