 Posted: Sat Jul 29, 2023 11:15 am Post subject: define memory instead of alloc |
 |
|
Hi,
I wanted to make a main script containing my main alloc
| Code: |
alloc(MainMem,$1000,GameAssembly.dll)
registersymbol(MainMem)
|
then in an other script i tried to define it's memory as a part of the already allocated mem, like i do when i want to add multiple function to a script
| Code: |
define(Mem_PointerStats,MainMem+600)
registersymbol(Mem_PointerStats)
|
In standalone with it's own alloc teh script compile and works fine but when i tried this way i got a compilation warning telling me :
| Quote: | | Error Line 161 jmp MainMem+600+20 : this instruction can't be compiled |
Line 161:
| Code: |
jmp FT_ModClamp_Vitality
|
Define of FT_ModClamp_Vitality
| Code: |
define(FT_ModClamp_Vitality,Mem_PointerStats+20)
registersymbol(FT_ModClamp_Vitality)
|
is there any way to bypass this warning without having to define FT_ModClamp_Vitality directly from MainMem
EDIT:
i tried to define Mem_PointerStats inside the main script and it changed the error inside the second script
| Quote: | | <<Error in line 98 (Mem_PointerStats+160:) :This address specifier is not valid>> |
Line 98
Define of ptr_Hunger
| Code: |
define(ptr_Hunger,Mem_PointerStats+160)
registersymbol(ptr_Hunger)
|

Works fine for me.
Script 1:
| Code: | [ENABLE]
alloc(foo,4096,Tutorial-x86_64.exe)
registersymbol(foo)
[DISABLE]
dealloc(foo)
unregistersymbol(foo) |
Script 2: | Code: | [ENABLE]
define(bar,foo+600)
registersymbol(bar)
[DISABLE]
unregistersymbol(bar) |
Script 3: | Code: | [ENABLE]
assert(Tutorial-x86_64.exe+2B76, 00 00 00 00 00)
define(baz,bar+20)
registersymbol(baz)
Tutorial-x86_64.exe+2B76:
jmp baz
[DISABLE]
unregistersymbol(baz)
Tutorial-x86_64.exe+2B76:
db 00 00 00 00 00 |
Obviously, there's a dependency chain here. You need to enable scrips in the correct order. If script 2 isn't enabled, CE will even complain even when you try to edit script 3.
Interestingly, you can still enable script 2 even when script 1 isn't enabled. It doesn't work, as expected, but registersymbol failing doesn't seem to cause the script activation to fail. That's unexpected.
Why are you even doing this? If this is about wasted memory, this is a textbook case of premature optimization and you should learn to stop caring and get on with it.

It's just because i like having my scripts organized in that way, having one parent script allocating memory for all the other script and having all the function to get all the needed pointers for every child script in that same parent script. then every child script doesn't need any alloc and can access needed pointers freely it's a bit annoying to have to manually look where i can put functions (im wondering if i can't use labels to delimits where a script start and where it ends) but it's more clean than having 100 alloc for 100 scripts
imo
btw i have found my error i did something like this
script 1:
| Code: |
define(inj_PointersStats,MainMem+600)
registersymbol(inj_PointerStats)
|
script 2:
| Code: |
define(Mem_PointersStats,inj_PointerStats)
registersymbol(Mem_PointersStats)
|
instead of just doing one define directly in mainscript:
script 1:
| Code: |
define(Mem_PointersStats,MainMem+600)
registersymbol(Mem_PointerStats)
|
and i removed the unregistersymbol in second script otherwise i could activate it once but not twice
seeing your exemple have you tried to merge your script 2 and 3 ? did it still worked ? if yes i don't understand why mine wasn't
and perhaps the symbol isn't correctly unregistered when you activate script 2 without script 1 because it shouldn't know what foo+600 is
