Hey there,

Now I know how to open two "browse memory regions" windows at the same time (thanks for the answer about it Darkbyte, I am a bit ashamed as I should have found that myself), I would like to know if it is possible to have two "dissect structure windows" open at the same time. From what I saw, there is no option for this (clicking on new does not open a new window, just reset the structs).

That would be very useful because that way I could compare two memory regions which I believe have the same structs and compare some values by having the two windows side by side.

Any idea how to do this?

Thanks a lot!

not possible yet, but being worked at.
You could try running 2 versions of CE next to eachother (and attach to the same process)

Ok thanks, from what I have experienced so far running two versions of CE totally mess things up. For some obscure reasons, the search results of one CE process seem to overlap randomly with the search results of the other process.

Anyway I don't know if I am the only one who would find this useful but I believe it would be great to be able to color, at user's will, some bytes or fields either in the memory browse region or in the dissect structure windows. Like when you have a structure of 6k, it's nice being able to immedialy recognize a field because you colored it, say, in green. Same when you are trying to look at a big memory area to figure out if any pattern occurs. That's just a 2 cent idea from a newcomer anyway.

Thanks again for the answer!

I agree with that idea.
Also, in a game I play, there's always a pointer to the structure of the selected player. (So if you select someone else, the pointer points to another struct with the same elements). Maybe this is a little weird idea, but is it possible to make CE scan beginning at the address pointed to by some pointer, untill that plus xxx. So instead of having manually fill in the start and end adress, CE can read it from a pointer.

Oh, and is it possible to let CE scan alligned (on a 4 byte boundary) adresses only? I couldn't find it but maybe i've looked over something.

Q: (I assume scanning for floats also is done on alligned adresses with fastscan?)

A: Yes. That's true.
