Alright, so I'm doing a Byte search and I have three addresses I'm looking for.
A which = 1
B which = 2
C which = 3

Now, I don't know what A, B, or C's addresses are, (they change all the freaking time), but I DO know B's address is A + 1A4 & C's address is B+44C.

So, is it possible to find everything with this knowledge alone?

That is, could I check the offset addresses of all A's initial search results for matching values down the line?

Set the scan type to Grouped and search for:

That..seems like exactly what I was looking for thank you!

Next time you can use "dissect data" ("structure dissect").

There is special feature which can help generate groupscan command.

Example:
at offset 0 - playerID (0 - NPC , 1 - you, 2 - enemy )
at offset C - health (float)
at offset 10 - health max (integer)
at offset 24 - armor (float)
at offset 28 - armor max (integer)

let's say armor is a rare thing. So, skip current armor value, but, use max armor in scan.

Select those and rightclick and choose generate groupscan:

You will get:

Press OK.

You will see this:
4:1 w:8 f:100 4:100 w:20 4:100

Thanks, that saved me a headache- couldn't seem to type up the group command right.

If you want to see the end-results, it's in the Battle Brothers thread under Single Player Cheat Requests.
I'd post a link but my post count's too low.

Anyway, Thanks again! Very Happy

The "skip nr of bytes" part is tricky. Formula is: decimal(offset2-offset1-valuebytesizeatoffset1 )

at offset 0 - playerID
at offset C - health (float)
at offset 10 - health max (integer)
at offset 28 - armor max (integer)

Creating command:

4:1
w:8 (C-0-4 = 8 hex = 8 dec)

f:100
(10-C-4 = 0, so, we do not use skip)

4:100
w:20 (28-10-4 = 14 hex = 20 dec)

4:100

It is much simpler to just use "generate groupscan command" from dissect structure.

I also recommend "out of order" feature (with "must be type aligned"). You can easily find a lot of useful structures.

I successfully used for weapon statistics. If we can see what exact stats are, example:

You can try some values.

Block size - with trial and error, sometimes 128 is good, and sometimes you need 512 or even bigger
