Cheat Engine

[Golokopitenko]

The game I'm editing is in fullscreen, so I have to alt+tab every time to check which values change in the Cheat Engine. The memory viewer highlights in red the values that have changed in real time, but the problem is, after I alt+tab the highlight quickly fades out and I'm unable to see which values have changed.

Is there any way to make the highlights permanent, or to make them flash again somehow?

Right click "change fade timer", max is 2147483647 / 0x7FFFFFFF (anything larger becomes negative) but that's still 24.85 days if I did the math right

Though one thing I noticed was that if you let it fade and then increase the timer the faded highlights will return...closing the window and reopening it seems to clear the history though. edit: hm, so does scrolling, not what I would have expected.

as the user above mentioned change the fade time, default is 1000ms which is 1 second.

but if you mean like you wanna see the previous value and the current value, then you might need a script for that.

see whats writing to that address, hook that instruction and add this:

Thank you very much for these replies! This has made my work much easier!

For just a before and after you could also use the data dissector by putting the address twice and then locking one of them so that it's copied to another place in memory.

Could also do that manually in several ways (including saving to a file).

To actually record all the changes that occur... that I'm not sure how to do, beyond 4 bytes anyways (<=4 and it can be done with a breakpoint and some lua code).

Most of those avoid changing code which could be detected by anti-cheats (or simply be difficult to due to the code accessing multiple values), or just accidentally forgetting something when making the hook and crashing the game lol

i agree with Free, you can use dissect data / structure and add the address twice.

- first to be locked
- second to compare

ok here is the fixed script:

Ummm... To be honest I've no idea how to use scripts in CE. Could you point me to some tutorial? And what does your script do, exactly?
