 |
|
Hi, if doing a scan manually for 4byte/exact value: '1075734118', then I got the results. It same if I make a scan for double value: 0.0111, I am also got the results. But if I am doing with Lua:
-- scan 4byte:
| Code: | local memscan = createMemScan()
local foundlist = createFoundList(memscan)
memscan.firstScan(
soValueBetween, vtDword, rtRounded,
"1075734118", nil, 0, 0xffffffffffffffff, "+W-C",
fsmAligned, "4", false, false, false, false)
memscan.waitTillDone()
foundlist.initialize()
local values = {}
local value = foundlist.Value
for i = 0, foundlist.Count - 1 do
values[value[i]] = true
end
foundlist.destroy()
memscan.destroy()
for i in pairs(values) do
print(i)
end |
-- scan double value
| Code: | findValue = 0.0111
memscan = createMemScan()
foundlist = createFoundList(memscan)
protectionflags = "-W*X-C"
memscan.firstScan(soExactValue, vtDouble, rtTruncated, findValue, nil,
"0","7fffffff",protectionflags,
fsmAligned,"4",
false, false, false, false)
memscan.waitTillDone()
foundlist.initialize()
if foundlist ~=nil then
local addresses = {}
local address = foundlist.Address
local values = {}
local value = foundlist.Value
cnt = 1
for i = 0, foundlist.Count - 1 do
addresses[address[i]] = true
values[value[i]] = true
print(cnt.." Address : "..address[i].." - Value : "..value[i])
cnt = cnt + 1
end
foundlist.destroy()
memscan.destroy()
else
showMessage("No results found");end |
I don't get the results for both scan above. Did I made something wrong?.

This looks like you copied and pasted code you didn't bother reading or understanding.
4 byte:
| Code: | local memscan = createMemScan()
memscan.firstScan(
soExactValue, vtDword, rtRounded,
'1075734118', '', 0, 0xffffffffffffffff, '+W-X-C',
fsmAligned, '4', false, false, false, false)
memscan.waitTillDone()
local foundlist = createFoundList(memscan)
foundlist.initialize()
local values = {}
local value = foundlist.Value
for i = 0, foundlist.Count - 1 do
values[value[i]] = true
end
foundlist.destroy()
memscan.destroy()
for i in pairs(values) do
print(i)
end
|
double:
| Code: | local memscan = createMemScan()
memscan.firstScan(
soExactValue, vtDouble, rtTruncated,
'0.0111', '', 0, 0xffffffffffffffff, '+W-X-C',
fsmAligned, '8', false, false, false, false)
memscan.waitTillDone()
local foundlist = createFoundList(memscan)
foundlist.initialize()
local addresses = {}
local address = foundlist.Address
local values = {}
local value = foundlist.Value
for i = 0, foundlist.Count - 1 do
addresses[address[i]] = true
values[value[i]] = true
print(('%d Address : %s - Value : %s'):format(i+1, address[i], value[i]))
end
foundlist.destroy()
memscan.destroy() |
(are you sure you want rtTruncated, and not rtRounded or rtExtremerounded?)
Edit: mixed up preferred alignment: 4 byte should be 4, double should be 8

Yes, you are right. The script I copied from one of old my CT files and that works before. I do not have special programming skills that I get from school, courses or universities. Everything I do is trial and error. But I do not bother reading, especially for the codes/scripts that I try to use and I am not shy to ask some experts when I do not understand.

| Code: | roundingtype: Defined the way scans for exact value floating points are handled
rtRounded : Normal rounded scans. If exact value = "3" then it includes 3.0 to 3.49999999. If exact value is "3.0" it includes 3.00 to 3.0499999999
rtTruncated: Truncated algorithm. If exact value = "3" then it includes 3.0 to 3.99999999. If exact value is "3.0" it includes 3.00 to 3.099999999
rtExtremerounded: Rounded Extreme. If exact value = "3" then it includes 2.0000001 to 3.99999999. If exact value is "3.0" it includes 2.900000001 to 3.099999999

The value '1075734118' I try to find is without floating point and will only one result. So, what is better rounding type your suggestion?.
Thank you so much for help.

The rounding type parameter is only used for floating point types. It won't affect the 4 byte scan, but you should still set it to something.
For the double scan, what rounding type to use will depend on what the game is doing to the value. Generally, rtRounded is probably the default rounding most games use, rtTruncated is sometimes used, and rtExtremerounded should always work regardless of what the game does but might give more results than you want.
Also, I mixed up the alignment arguments on the scans. It's fixed now.

Thanks, @ParkourPenguin, it fixed now. I just change your code in this line.
from:
| Code: | | ....fsmAligned, '8', false, false, false, false).... |
to
| Code: | | ....fsmAligned, '4', false, false, false, false).... |
according to manual scan setting.

Not quite. I saw many 8byte and double values at addresses not 8byte aligned.

I've heard about it happening a long time ago but haven't seen it happen in the past decade. Then again, I haven't been looking.
Unless you're running something esoteric like an emulator or a really old game, most software written for contemporary 64-bit systems will do what both Intel and AMD recommend and use 8-byte alignment for doubles.
