Instead of having the AoB search the entire process, which fucking takes forever, it'd be nice to specify a section of memory for which to scan.

Basically, it would look like this.

AOBScan( foo, FF ?? FF ?? FF ??, game.dll, 0x46000)

Where game.dll is the place to start, and 46000 is the length to stop looking, IE game.dll+0x46000.

Just a suggestion.

Only with LUA for now:
http://forum.cheatengine.org/viewtopic.php?t=559987

I've used something similar for Borderlands2 - Rarity Chances Revealer and Borderlands2 - Blink:
createMemScan() + memscan_returnOnlyOneResult() + memscan_firstScan() + memscan_waitTillDone() + memscan_getOnlyResult().

For those variable types: "vtGrouped" and "vtByteArray"

I learned about this technique over a month ago.
Before, I somehow missed this returnOnlyOneResult option when I read the descriptions inside main.lua file.

Before, I used only:

createMemScan() + memscan_firstScan() + memscan_waitTillDone() + createFoundList() + foundlist_initialize() + foundlist_getAddress() or foundlist_getValue()

And:
- AOBScan(x,x,x,x) + strings_getCount() + strings_getString()
- AOBScan("aobstring", protectionflags OPTIONAL, alignmenttype OPTIONAL, alignmentparam HALFOPTIONAL) + strings_getCount() + strings_getString()

One misunderstanding...

This "technique" is available in CheatEngine since "Jan 15, 2012", as a new LUA function.

http://code.google.com/p/cheat-engine/source/browse/trunk/Cheat%20Engine/LuaMemscan.pas ? r = 1 1 7 4

changelog:
"implement a bunch of new lua functions
Split memscan and foundlist from the main
luahandler.pas into separate units"

So, I should have written earlier:
"I learned about this technique we can use in CE6.2, over a month ago".
