Outdated - How to find GlobalVars for L4D2

[redogg]

Get IDA software in the following link https://www.hex-rays.com/products/ida/ free, Open IDA and import your client.dll thats located in Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\bin
When IDA fully loads the file, Press on search>text and find the following text below

var_C

Make sure to search it 3 times from the top

Your screen should look like this

As you see in the screenshot the red marker is the 3rd search from the top of "var_C", Allitle bit above that hides the actual offset of GlobalVars
The offset for now is 0x4730 as you see in the screenshot .text:10004730 turns to be 0x4730 offset


I attached the client.dll used in this tutorial, In case someone gets lost

the logic is kinda complex, most people dont understand it. i dont even remember it my self for 100%, its just reversing stuff and compering with sdk if you familiar with ida software or ghidra
i actually posted here the simplest and fastest way to get it by remembering the place where globalvars is located
