You can download script for text search and edit it as you want.

The text search I don't think works with "padded" strings. 

Can't have a "padded" toggle,which would basically double the range ? Or allow manual range selection? 

 

This app is getting so amazing....  Thank you for all your time and hard work. Much appreciated.

What you mean by "padded"? UTF-16?

"s.t.r.i.n.g"

"s t r i n g" 

"s_t_r_i_n_g"

The only thing is you might not know what the characters are between each letter until you finally find something. 

[Enyby]

It is UTF-16.

Every second char is zero. For example:

We have plans for add this for easy search.

Now you can search as mixed mode:

"microcircuit" will be:

"m" 00 "i" 00 "c" 00 "r" 00 "o" 00 "c" 00 "i" 00 "r" 00 "c" 00 "u" 00 "i" 00 "t" 00

So I HAVE to pause the process?

I was already testing it, but EXTREMELY slow (unpaused). 

What sucks is typing out the whole string. Lol

[Enyby]

If your string placed in Java heap then you need pause process or garbage collector move string and your replacement destroy java heap and crash app.

If it placed in C code, then, usually, it is not necessary.

Yes, search for string larger for 8 bytes can be very slow. We have plans of improve it in future.

You can copy

" 00 "

part and past it over every chars. it can be more faster. Or make template and re-use it.

In future we allow simple mark checkbox "UTF-16" and input string in usual way.

What about code in Anonymous? 

Ahhh, I think string length was like 20 or 30.

For now I think I'll convert ascii to hex and add like 1 "0" to it and search length remain under 8.  

 

Also, HUUUUGE thank you for GG now remembers which memory region you used on each game. That is soooooooo helpful. If I revisit a game, I'll forget what memory range I used in it

[Enyby]

Java heap only. All the rest is usually statically in memory, so while you do the replacement does not jump from place to place. Usually. But some games can move data, so for them you must also pause the process, otherwise you can change something wrong.

This not understand.

Values I tend to work with are static... 

 

The part you don't understand.. Instead of me doing this

"m" 00 "i" 00 "c" 00 "r" 00 "o" 00 "c" 00 "i" 00 "r" 00 "c" 00 "u" 00 "i" 00 "t" 00

I'll do a byte search of this

6dh;69h;63h;0;72h;6fh;63h;69h::30

It's faster, it will get similar results. 

[Enyby]

Script is more slower, but more precise. But in another things result can be similar.

@Enyby

Feature request :

Pointer navigation undo/travel back. (long press value and have option to travel back/undo pointer nav) 

Ex: 

Long press value,  goto pointer. 

Long press another value at that location, goto pointer. 

Want to go back and navigate from another pointer instead. (undo/travel back). 

I know I could save address. Navigate. Goto save. Goto address location then choose another and goto pointer. 

I think with games that are utilizing pointers more, having an undo or travel back could be useful. 

Thoughts?

Thank you

[Enyby]

We have plans about that. History in memory editor. With buttons back and forward. Also this history can be choose in go to dialog.
