 Posted: Tue Mar 04, 2014 7:38 pm Post subject: Byte Reading Error/Mistake |
 |
|
I'm now trying to rewrite my table as a LUA script and I'm getting weird results with readBytes. When I look in the memory viewer the memory block I'm looking at says 2C CB F3 00 but when I readBytes that I get back 112, 135, 105, 0 or 0x70, 0x87, 0x69, 0x00
Here is the entire LUA - it's a bit messy because I've been trying stuff out but I'm stuck. I did comment the error location with "-->READBYTES ERROR HERE" to make it a little easier to find. Note that I'm not getting an error in the script; it just isn't functioning the way I expect it to.
| Code: | function GetDesc(index)
return lookupTable[index]
end
function DEC_HEX(IN)
if IN<=0 then
return '0'
end
local B,K,OUT,I,D=16,"0123456789ABCDEF","",0
while IN>0 do
I=I+1
IN,D=math.floor(IN/B),math.mod(IN,B)+1
OUT=string.sub(K,D,D)..OUT
end
return OUT
end
function HexDumpBytes(IN)
for _,String in pairs(IN) do --> for each entry and entry in the table IN do..
local Hex = DEC_HEX(String) --> convert each byte and byte that stored in the IN Table
if Hex:len()==1 then
Hex = '0' .. Hex --> Just incase, making the bytes 2 character length
end
IN[_] = '0x' .. Hex --> Making it writeable
end
return IN
end
function CreateRecord(index, address)
local List=getAddressList()
local NewRec=List.createMemoryRecord()
local baseOffset = index*8
local valueOffset = baseOffset+4
local baseAddress = "00"
baseAddress = address
NewRec.setAddress(address)
NewRec.setOffsetCount(1)
NewRec.setOffset(0, valueOffset)
local lookupAddress = '[' .. baseAddress .. ']+' .. baseOffset
lookupVal=readInteger(lookupAddress)

NewRec.Type=vtDWord

readBytes(PlayerAddress,4,true) means "return the 4 bytes at address PlayerAddress" and should give 2c cb f3 00.
readBytes("["..PlayerAddress.."]",4,true) means "read the 4 bytes at address PlayerAddress, interpret this (2c cb f3 00) as an address, and return the 4 bytes there (=at 0x00f3cb2c)".
