A lot of things make use of g_pGameRules, by getting it's offset of CreateGameRulesObject.

I understand how the signature for CreateGameRulesObject is found, but how does one go about getting the offset for g_pGameRules?

Thanks for any info on this.

Look at sdktools ext from sourcemod. It make use of getting g_pGameRules.

Yes, that is what I was referring to. They have the offset for g_pGameRules set to 2 in the gamedata text file.

What I'm asking, is how did they come up with that offset of 2?

Thanks for the response though.

.text:2218897A 8B 01                                   mov     eax, [ecx]
.text:2218897C 6A 01                                   push    1
.text:2218897E FF 50 2C                                call    dword ptr [eax+2Ch]

The above is the beginning of the disassembly for CreateGameRulesObject.

And for quick reference, this is the signature used by SDKTools:

\x8B\x0D\x2A\x2A\x2A\x2A\x85\xC9\x74\x2A\x8B\x01\x6A\x01\xFF\x50

Two bytes into the signature is a wildcard of four bytes (\x2A). That is intended to be the address of the variable that holds g_pGameRules. That would be dword_22577A84 in the disassembly above.

Alright, I believe I understand now. Thank you.
