For now, I changed your script to this:
| Code: | SmartAttach =
{
wanted_processes = { 'chrome.exe','plugin%-container.exe',
'flashplayerplugin','opera.exe','iexplore.exe' }
,
currentprocesslist = {}
}
function SmartAttach:Start( )
self.form = createForm( false )
setProperty( self.form , "Position", "poScreenCenter" )
setProperty( self.form , "BiDiMode", "bdLeftToRight" )
self.form.Caption = 'Smart attach test'
self.form.height = 70
self.form.width = 400
self.combobox = createComboBox( self.form )
self.combobox.top = 10
self.combobox.left = 10
self.combobox.width = 220
self.combobox.ReadOnly = true
self.button = createButton( self.form )
self.button.Caption = 'Attach'
self.button.top = 10
self.button.left = 240
self.button.onClick = function ( sender ) self:Attach( sender ) end
self.button.width = 45
self.pickhighestmem = createButton( self.form )
self.pickhighestmem.Caption = 'Refresh list'
self.pickhighestmem.top = 10
self.pickhighestmem.left = 300
self.pickhighestmem.width = 95
self.pickhighestmem.onClick = function ( sender ) self:RefreshList( sender ) end
self.form.show()
SmartAttach:RefreshList()
end
function SmartAttach.SortByKey(T,K,reverse)
if reverse==true then table.sort(T, function (a,b) return a[K] > b[K] end)
else table.sort(T, function (a,b) return a[K] < b[K] end) end
return T
end
function SmartAttach.ProcessMatch(s)
for _,v in pairs(SmartAttach.wanted_processes) do
if s:match(v:lower()) then return true end
end
return false
end
function SmartAttach.gatherData()
local handle = io.popen( "tasklist.exe /fo csv" )
local processTable = {}
local skip = true
local tmp = nil
for line in handle:lines() do
if skip then skip = false
else
tmp = {}
for t in line:gmatch('\"(.-)\"') do
table.insert(tmp,t)
end
local processName = tmp[1]
if SmartAttach.ProcessMatch(processName:lower()) then
local PID = tmp[2]
--local Session = tmp[3]
--local SessionNum = tmp[4]
local MemoryUsage = tmp[5]:gsub("[^%d]",'')+0 -- +0 converts to number
local entry = { processName=processName, PID=PID, MemoryUsage=MemoryUsage }
processTable[#processTable+1] = entry
end
end
end
handle:close()
return SmartAttach.SortByKey(processTable,'MemoryUsage',true)
end
function SmartAttach.RefreshList()
local items = SmartAttach.combobox.items
items.clear()
SmartAttach.currentprocesslist = SmartAttach.gatherData()
if ( #SmartAttach.currentprocesslist > 0 ) then
for _,v in ipairs( SmartAttach.currentprocesslist ) do
strings_add(items, string.format('%.1f',v.MemoryUsage/1024)..'MB'..' - '..v.processName)
end
SmartAttach.combobox.ItemIndex = 0
else
return showMessage( "Couldn't find any useful process" )
end
end
function SmartAttach:Attach(sender)
local index = SmartAttach.combobox.ItemIndex
if index < 0 then return end
openProcess( tonumber(SmartAttach.currentprocesslist[index + 1].PID) )
end
SmartAttach:Start()

"Also, I won't change yet the title, maybe let's try to create the memory scan based method?"
OK, when I find more free time.

Nice job.
Although you should divide the MemoryUsage by 100 to get the right memory amount.
And I'm facing now another issue.
I'm trying to getAddress of the .dll inside the browser.
But facing HUGE memory usage by cheat engine (150MB - 450MB per cycle).
This for example, does not consume much memory.
| Code: | | getAddress("kernel32.dll")~=0 |
But this does
| Code: | | getAddress("pepflashplayer.dll")~=0 |
So my question, how to use as less as possible memory?
Nulling vars and clearing up stuff after usage and using collectgarbage() does not effect.
I'm assuming Dark Byte calls this function
| Code: | | reinitializeSymbolhandler(); |
When trying to get external .dll?
(I've tested few stuff, and when calling this function, the memory jumps by 150MB if not more (11 processes) ).
I mean this is not a problem for me (8GB ram are enough).
But there's people who has 2GB ram, and if they attach/refresh list and I verify the process based .dll addresses, they'll run out of RAM (without restarting the trainer).

Where do you check memory usage ?
Does the amount of committed memory to the CE process increase ? The working set size?
Or do you just look at the total physical memory ? (That's a bad display)

Here's image, of using mgr.inz.Player script (without using getAddress or any of the 'reading' address functions').
Here's image of my script (same as mgr.inz.Player, just filtering the 14 processes to relevant ones for me, by using the getAddress('wanted.dll'))
The more processes are being opened, the more RAM, it'll use.

Looks like tasklist output is different and depends on operating system language. Could you post output of "tasklist.exe /fo csv" from your machine ?
(first three lines is enough)
I will change "pattern" so it should work for everyone.

lol, first three lines.
Mine looks like this:
| Code: | "Nazwa obrazu","PID","Nazwa sesji","Nr sesji","Użycie pam."
"System Idle Process","0","Services","0","24 KB"
"System","4","Services","0","324 KB"
"smss.exe","292","Services","0","568 KB"
"csrss.exe","440","Services","0","2 400 KB" |
In my script there is
:gsub("[^%w]",'') - it removes all non "word" characters (spaces tabs dots semicolons)
:sub(1,-3)+0 - it removes last two chars and converts to number
You don't have last "B".
Anyway, better "pattern":
| Code: | | local MemoryUsage = tmp[5]:gsub("[^%d]",'')+0 |
gsub("[^%d]",'')+0 - it removes everything except digits and converts to number

Cool thanks mate.
Can you test this script (you, should adjust it, it might take up 1-2GB ram).
| Code: | local handle = io.popen( "tasklist.exe /fo csv");
for line in handle:lines() do
local data_table = {}
for t in line:gmatch('\"(.-)\"') do
table.insert(data_table,t)
end
reinitializeSymbolhandler();
openProcess(tonumber(data_table[2]));
end
handle:close();
|
To see how much memory it uses of your PC ram.

Indeed using
reinitializeSymbolhandler
openProcess
in the loop will increase memory usage.
But, openProcess already is doing "initializeSymbolhandler" so we don't need reinitializeSymbolhandler.
Better this
| Code: | local handle = io.popen( "tasklist.exe /fo csv");
local iterator = handle:lines() -- get iterator and assign it to "iterator"
local firstline = iterator() -- read first line (skipping header)
for line in iterator do
local data_table = {}
for t in line:gmatch('\"(.-)\"') do
table.insert(data_table,t)
end
openProcess(tonumber(data_table[2]))
end
handle:close() |
without reinitializeSymbolhandler in the loop, CE is still at 20MB usage.
If you really need reinitializeSymbolhandler , use it in loop only when you have filtered processlist:
- only opera, flash...., plugin...., etc )
- only bigger than 100MB (or what is "average" for most games)

when doing openProcess();, without using getAddress, C.E memory for me is around the 40-50MB usage.
But the moment I use getAddress('external.dll'), it jumps instantly, therefore I assume getAddress calls reinitializeSymbolhandler.
So I don't have any other method to verify .dll?
And yes I filter base flashplayerplugin,opera,chrome.
And then filter based .dll to reduce the processes that user may attach to.
Using this in C.E 6.3
| Code: | local handle = io.popen( "tasklist.exe /fo csv");
local iterator = handle:lines()
iterator()
for line in iterator do
local data_table = {}
for t in line:gmatch('\"(.-)\"') do
table.insert(data_table,t)
end
reinitializeSymbolhandler();
openProcess(tonumber(data_table[2]))
end
handle:close() |
Ended up with 940MB being used (after applying it for different 94 processes*).
While using the same script in C.E 6.2+
I ended up with 350MB being used (same amount of processes).

Anyway,
Order you are using:
1. reinitializeSymbolhandler - it will reinitialize symbol handler, it will load all symbols from previously opened process
2. openProcess - it will open process, CE will gather symbols
Order should be:
| Code: | openProcess(tonumber(data_table[2]))
reinitializeSymbolhandler() |
1. openProcess - it will open process, CE will gather symbols
2. reinitializeSymbolhandler - it will reinitialize symbol handler
EDIT:
Hmm, indeed, about 500MB after launching this script
| Code: | errorOnLookupFailure(false)
local handle = io.popen( "tasklist.exe /fo csv");
local iterator = handle:lines()
iterator()
for line in iterator do
local data_table = {}
for t in line:gmatch('\"(.-)\"') do
table.insert(data_table,t)
end
openProcess(tonumber(data_table[2]))
getAddress('external.dll')
end
handle:close() |
Don't know. Memory leak? Or, CE is just designed to be used only with one process.
