Hi,
when pointer scanning is it possible to limit results to certain modules?
For example results may come from modules e.g.

random1.dll offset1 offset2 ...
random2.dll offset1 offset2 ...
game.exe offset1 offset2 ...

Say you want only results from game.exe, is there a way to achieve this?

"Base address must be in specific range"

and fill in the range of the game.exe and the end of game.exe

e.g:
baseaddress=game.exe
endaddress=game.exe+getModuleSize('game.exe')


but no list though.

Also, it will not speed up the scan, with the exception that less results will be written to disk.

Can you actually do that in the input field or how do you get the module size?

I'm sorry to revive this old thread. Not sure if it would be appropriate to start a new one.

I'm not sure how to accomplish this. Is this done from the "Pointerscanner scanoptions" window? Under "Show advanced options", the "From" & "To" fields only accept 4 byte addresses. I'm not sure what is meant by the "input field".

I am using Cheat Engine 6.8.3 on Windows.

Edit: Do I have to just run a Lua script to get the values?

-- Edit --
Okay, so what I did was open the Lua engine & run the following to get the start & end addresses:
Code:
local startaddress = getAddress(process)
local endaddress = startaddress + getModuleSize(process)
print('Start: ' .. string.format('%x', startaddress) .. ', End: ' .. string.format('%x', endaddress))

Then I just copied the printed values into the "From" & "To" fields. Is that the best way to do it?
