Anyone know how to add gold with cheat engine/editing game files?

[Justin_760]

Ive read a few threads about this but cant find any that detailed the way how. Id appreciate if anyone could help, all I need is to find a way to mod files to add gold.

Before the inevitable condenscending comments on how cheating is lame and the questions of why I would want to cheat... When it first released I played and it was too hard so I uninstalled and refunded. Decided to try it again when I saw there were trainers, so I could maybe enjoy the game without crushing difficulty but trainers are outdated and dont work. Before I refund this again I want to try alternate solutions to make this more accessible for someone of exceedingly low skill at the game like myself.

Yes! This is what Ive heard of, but how/where do I get it? Thanks for replying and not being a jerk about this, apparantly this kind of things make people angry.

cheat engine is an universal memory editor to cheat in most games, should be easily and readily found in Google for download.

You'd have to open the game, load your save, alt+tab and locate what data in the cheat engine equals to money in game, and then edit that specific data value.

Can't help you further because I've never tried it in battle brothers.

I can walk you through it.

You can find Cheat Engine with a google search etc. When downloading it, be careful to un-tick some of the default settings that want to make some yahoo-related things your defaults.

Once you've installed and loaded Cheat Engine, go to File and Open Process and select Battle Brothers.

In the game, enter a settlement and go to the market. See how many crowns you currently have. Enter that amount into the search field in Cheat Engine. Change the "Value Type" to "float" (no idea what that actually signifies) and click the "First Scan" button. You may get thousands of search results, but fear not. Back in the game, sell an item to increase your amount of crowns, and then return to Cheat Engine and enter the amount by which your crowns have increased into the search field (but don't yet click one of the scan buttons). Then change the "Scan Type" to "increased value by", and then click the "Next Scan" button. That should filter the first lot of results for ones that have since increased by the specified amount, and hopefully there'll be just one result or only a few, and you can use trial and error to edit those (after double-clicking to add them to the value-editing table at the bottom in Cheat Engine), reverting them to the original value if they turn out to be the wrong ones. Alternatively, you can buy items at the market in BB and then do a "Next Scan" for the amount of decrease with "decreased value by" as the "Scan Type". Sometimes (for obscure reasons) you don't get the right results at the first attempts and you have to do a new scan using the new amount of crowns (with "increased value" or "decreased value" as the "Scan Type", as appropriate). But it works eventually.

You can also use Cheat Engine to hack Experience Points to get everyone quickly to level 11 with all their perks, which allows you to quickly experiment (or just mess about and have fun) with different builds.

Cheers bro. You really helped!

You could also use BB edit to cheat some expensive armors into your inventory and sell them. But it's more of a convenient workaround if you already have BB edit installed and don't want to install something else on top.

activate permanent box in CE and save with 9999999 (use float)
