 Posted: Tue Apr 13, 2010 2:52 pm Post subject: Two suggestions about source code and two questions |
 |
|
Hello. I'm first time downloaded Cheat Engine to find out how wotk this very
famous program and I really happy. It wotks fine under XP, beacause there
is no new version of Game Hacker project dead so this tool work realiy nice.
Now here is my suggestion, because I do not found any option like that, so I
know Delphi a bit and downloaded source code for version 5.5 and added this
geature. I mean add to PopupMenu on search value TEdit new item after a "-"
separator with Caption "Reverse Bytes" and Shorcut 'Ctrl+E" ofcourse it will
be enabled only when user check "Hex" CheckBox and enter somethint to edit.
Here is the code to reverse bytes it is usefull for many games, for exmample
in "Sensible World of Soccer" game when changing player cash in carred mode.
| Code: | //...
procedure TMainForm.FormCreate(Sender : TObject);
//...
// added by olesio
ReverseBytes1.Enabled := False;
end;
procedure TMainForm.HexadecimalCheckboxClick(Sender : TObject);
// ...
// added by olesio
ReverseBytes1.Enabled := (HexadecimalCheckbox.Checked = True) and (scanvalue.Text <> '');
end;
procedure TMainForm.ReverseBytes1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
S : string;
I : integer;
begin
// added by olesio
if Length(scanvalue.Text) mod 2 <> 0 then
begin
scanvalue.Text := '0' + scanvalue.Text;
end;
I := Length(scanvalue.Text) - 1;
S := '';
repeat
S := S + Copy(scanvalue.Text, I, 2);
I := I - 2;
until I < 0;
scanvalue.Text := S;
end; |
What you think about this feature? I added it as separate popup menu item
because there was no enough space for new button in panel near TEdit. And
second suggestion. Maybe author should use other module with external XML
parser. For example search in google for: spkxmlparser.zip and download it.
Because users can not use XMLDocument modules in Delphi 7 Personal. And
I must take these from enterprise version to be albe to compile whole code..
Now two questions. How to download latest source code? I asking - because
I searched forum and I did not seen informations about it. So I seen - in
one old post - some user post screenshot from compile source in a console
window (cmd.exe) and there was CheatEngine55src directory, so I search in
google for CheatEngine55src filename and found some .rar on a web hosting
service, but there is other method to donwload it? I read something about
some called SVN but I do not know how to use it. Please give me link or a
short info about it. And second question. Is any way to search some whole
process memory like Cheat Engine do it? I'm asking - because whole source
code toke about 50 MB and many long Delphi code modules, so I do not have
time to analize many parts of source yet. And I only seen CE - using some
classes and external additional modules to search memory and return found
results. I also have "Peeping Tom" program source code, but it founding a
only small part of memory. When I run CE and "Peeping Tom" and tring find
some decimal value, CE returns more results and from address lower than a
$00400000. In PT I can not set start and end memory addresses only range,
like Win16 and Win32. Can someone explain me. And sorry for long post and
if anyone from developers can answer me what he think about my two - code
suggestions? Thanks in advice. Also, big sorry for my very bad english

Is Sensible World of Soccer running inside an emulator?
Because from what I can see is that you're doing a byteswap
Not sure if it's useful in nowadays games, but if it doesn't add extra clutter I guess I could add it
Delphi7 Enterprise does support xmldocument, anyhow, next ce version will be compiled with freepascal/lazarus, so the only problem then would be using the correct revision of fpc/lazarus (currently using the svn instead of official release due to it's support of ownerdata listviews)

The main website has a link to it in the download section, which I see if broken 33% of the time (mirror doesn't have it)
anyhow: http://cheatengine.org/download/CheatEngine56src.rar
As for the svn method, check http://cheatengine.org/downloads.php and http://tortoisesvn.net/

memscan.pas contains the memory scan class
As for the memory before $00400000 that's because in earlier windows that memory was almost never really used by anything useful, but newer windows versions (vista+) also allocate memory in that region sometimes when the application requests some memory

It'll then use xmlwrite and xmlread, but everyone will have those then (it's part of the fpc/lazarus package)

Is source code will be still compileable in Delphi 7 Personal - without any problems?
|
Sadly no, due to resource handling and filename extension differences from lazarus and delphi(lfm instead of dfm) you can't compile it with delphi 7 anymore
But it's not a big problem. FPC/Lazarus is free/opensource ( http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/ ) and doesn't even take up much diskspace, and it's userinterface largely feels like delphi 7
It can be a bit slow at times though (compared to d7)

Ok, thanks for answer. Btw, I also suggest you to pack executable with UPX,
I know today net connections are fast and harddisk are large also install exe
will probable pack all files, but smaller program exe - imo should be better.
And if version 6.6 is last compileable in Delphi 7 so I add my reverse bytes
feature and keep it on harddisk, but maybe I will try Lazarus in feature, but
like I know from some post on unit1 pl forum one dude have problems with
Lazarus with SendMessage with HWND_BROADCAST which may be use with
Mutexes to allow run only one instance of application. Also there was some
problems with sending message WM_COPYDATA which may be useful when
sending commandline parameters to open application. But if you don't need
it in your code so maybe use Lazarus even - like you wrote, it is slower a bit.
