 Posted: Sun Mar 10, 2019 10:08 am Post subject: Memory address value to GUI for flightsim gauge |
 |
|
Hello everyone,
I'm a flight simmer and new to the CE world. I'm blown away by this awesome app. I'd like to use CE to read in-game values that are not displayed to the user, without changing them.
I'd like to build a gui as gauge on top of my flight simulator of choice (let's call it MySim.exe). Think head-up display. My tool of choice would be autohotkey, because that's the only scripting language I use regularly, and because it can do borderless, transparent GUIs that stay on top of my windowed game.
As proof of concept I'd do a turn indicator:
The source value
- I've hunted down the value of interest using CE
- The value is stored as "double value" in the first two "??" of following array of byte (AoB): ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? 31 BD 41 3A 3A C1 3F 28 F3 7B 62 4A 22 D5 BF
- I don't have a pointer, just the AoB shown above
- The value is <0 when turning left and >0 when turning right
What my script should do:
- Grab the value 10-30 times per second
- Convert the value to decimal format
- Round the value to 2 decimals
- Feed the value into one or two gui(s) that display(s) a bar. If the value is 0.00 +/- a tolerance interval of 0.1 no bar should be visible. If the value is positive, the bar should "grow" to the right depending on the value (cutoff at +10.00). If the value is negative, a bar should grow to the left (cutoff value at -10.00)
What's the best way of pulling this off?
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

creating a transparent form is easiest done by setting AlphaBlend on a form lower than 255, or use form.setLayeredAttributes
first do an aobscan to find the address
then create a timer with interval 33 (30 times a second)
in the OnTimer event of that timer call readDouble(address)
then convert it to a string. easiest is string.format("%.2f",doublevalue)
as for the bar try a progressbar, or else a paintbox or image

Just a basic sample using a progress bar as mouse movement indicator.
| Code: | f = createForm()
f.height = 30
f.width = 200
f.position = 'poScreenCenter'
f.caption = 'PB Test'
pb = createProgressBar(f)
pb.left = 0
pb.width = 200
pb.height = 30
pb.Min = 0
pb.Max = 200
pb.Position = 0
z=createTimer(nil)
z.Interval=100
z.OnTimer=function(z)
local x, y = getMousePos()
if x > 500 then
pb.Position = pb.Position + 10
if pb.Position > 200 then pb.Position = 200 end
else
pb.Position = pb.Position - 10
if pb.Position < 0 then pb.Position = 0 end
end
z.enabled = true
end
function stopResponse()
z.enabled = false
z.destroy()
end
f.onClose = stopResponse |
If using an image or progressbar itslef as indicator, then better use image width / progressbar width as an indicator instead progressbar position.

Thanks guys, I've just tested Corroder's bar and it looks promising.
How can I feed in the AoB data instead of a mouse axis?
Can the window be made borderless and always on top?

just an illustration :
- using an image as progress bar (gauge bar)
- the form set to transparent
- the form set always on top
| Code: | --- ==================================================== FUNCTIONS & VARIABLES
function exit()
closeCE()
return caFree
end
---1. First do an aobscan to find the address
--aob2scan = '?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? 31 BD 41 3A 3A C1 3F 28 F3 7B 62 4A 22 D5 BF'
--local memscan = createMemScan(nil)
--memscan.OnlyOneResult = true
--memscan.firstScan(soExactValue, vtByteArray, rtRounded, aob2scan, '', 0, 0x7fffffffffffffff, '+X', fsmNotAligned, '', true, true, false, false)
--memscan.waitTillDone()
--local addr = memscan.Result
--memscan.destroy()
--assert(addr, 'no results found')
---2. then create a timer with interval 33 (30 times a second)
---3. in the OnTimer event of that timer call readDouble(address)
---4. then convert it to a string. easiest is string.format("%.2f",doublevalue)
--function rddbl()
-- dblvalue = readDouble(addr)
-- dblval = string.format("%.2f",dblvalue)
--end
--t1 = createTimer(nil, false)
--t1.Interval = 33
--t1.Enabled = true
--t1.OnTimer = rddbl
--- ==================================================== GUI
f = createForm()
f.BorderStyle = 'bsNone'
f.FormStyle = 'fsSystemStayOnTop'
f.width = 500
f.height = 30
f.Color = '0xFFFFFF'
f.OnMouseDown = function() f.DragNow() end
local LWA_COLORKEY = 1
local LWA_ALPHA = 2
f.setLayeredAttributes(0xFFFFFF, 255, LWA_COLORKEY|LWA_ALPHA)
f.onDoubleClick = exit
ggImg = createImage(f)
ggImg.Width = 10
ggImg.Height = 30
ggImg.Left = 0
ggImg.Top = 0
ggImg.Picture.loadFromStream(findTableFile('pb2.png').Stream)
ggImg.onDoubleClick = exit
--- ==================================================== TESTED P.BAR IMAGE
z=createTimer(nil)
z.Interval=100
z.OnTimer=function(z)
local x, y = getMousePos()
if x > 500 then
ggImg.Width = ggImg.Width + 10
if ggImg.Width > 500 then ggImg.Width = 500 end
else
ggImg.Width = ggImg.Width - 10
if ggImg.Width < 10 then ggImg.Width = 10 end
end
z.enabled = true
end
function stopResponse()
z.enabled = false
z.destroy()
end
f.onClose = stopResponse |
NOTE :
replace 'pb2.png' file and filename with your own 'progress bar' image
