Making something more clear

Under the section "Other Dynamic Memory Addresses (non-static)", there is a sub-section called "This pointer" which refers to the contents of the pointer to a pointer as specified above that sub-section. It's in my opinion that this is unclear and may lead to confusion. I suggest re-formatting the section something like this.

General

  • 0xB6F5F0 - Player pointer (CPed)
  • 0xB7CD98 - Player pointer, direct offset to the ped pool start (CPed)
  • 0xB74498 - CPeds maximum number (normally 140)
  • 0xB74490 - Contains a pointer to a pointer
    • +0 = Contains a pointer to the first element in the pool
    • +4 = Contains a pointer to a byte map indicating which elements are in use
    • +8 = [dword] Is the maximum number of elements in the pool
    • +12 = [dword] Is the current number of elements in the pool


Formatting As Lists

By using description lists, each address can be emboldened on one line with the description indented below it. Using CODE tags for the code makes them stand out better.

When an entry has both code and prose descriptions, the prose one should be coded as a separate description.

Something like this:

0xA49960
Start of SCM block.
0xA49960 + (4 * varnumber) is that particular variable.
0xA49D54
Timer for driving/flying missions.
([dword] in ms)
0xA51974
Timer for boat/bike missions
([dword] in ms)
0xA51A3C
Timer for Bloodring race
0xB6F5F0
Player pointer
(player_ptr)
0xB6F3B8
Car pointer
0xB7CE50
Money
[dword]
0xBAA420
Wanted Level

However, since this article is so huge I don't really feel like doing it. Cerbera 00:12, 4 Jan 2007 (CST)
