 |
|
I've recently picked up L.A. Noire from the back of my shelf again, and decided to do something about the 30fps cap. Cheat Engine gives me the power to do so, and I'm trying to create a basic trainer to shift between 30 and 60fps for personal use.
However, the trainer won't always work. It's quite random actually. While I'm in no way an expert on this matter, I think that the trainer can't figure out which process to target, as L.A. Noire has 2 processes running under the same name, for whatever reason. Only 1 of them is attached to the main window though.
Is there some way I can make the trainer figure out which one of them it is?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

The trainer picks the newest process with the specific name. If the trainer sees the old one before the new one has been created it'll open the wrong one.
So try to make it that you only run the trainer after the game has fully loaded
Alternatively, learn lua and use a timer that constantly opens the newest process until it has verified that the current process is correct (by checking some bytes)

Alright, I didn't know that. I've got some experience with LUA from Gmod, so I'll definitely explore my options here.
Thank you for your reply.

As DB wrote. Do timer thing.
If there are always two processes with the same name. And the newest one is the right one, use script below instead of strings_add(getAutoAttachList(), "processname")
Example, it opens second calc.exe:
| Code: | processname = 'calc.exe'
function openRightProcess()
local processlist=createStringlist()
local count=0
local entry=nil
local name=nil
getProcesslist(processlist)
for i=0,strings_getCount(processlist)-1 do
entry = strings_getString(processlist,i)
name = entry:sub(10)
if name == processname then count = count + 1 end
end
object_destroy(processlist)
if count==2 then
timer_setEnabled(timer1,false)
openProcess(processname)
end
end
if timer1~=nil then object_destroy(timer1);timer1=nil;end --not needed in final release
timer1 = createTimer(nil,false)
timer_onTimer(timer1,openRightProcess)
timer_setInterval(timer1,1000)
timer_setEnabled(timer1,true)
|
Edit:
added more universal function. Just in case someone finds this topic.
| Code: | function openRightProcess(processname, howmanyprocesses, whichprocess)
local processlist=createStringlist()
local processnameLower = processname:lower()
local timer = createTimer(nil)
timer.Interval = 100
timer.OnTimer =
function (t)
local tmp={}
getProcesslist(processlist)
for i=0,processlist.Count-1 do
if processlist[i]:sub(10):lower() == processnameLower
then tmp[1+#tmp]=processlist[i] end
end
if #tmp>=howmanyprocesses then
processlist.destroy()
t.destroy()
openProcess(tonumber(tmp[whichprocess]:sub(1,8),16))
end
end
end
-- openRightProcess(string processname, integer howmanyprocesses, integer whichprocess)
-- howmanyprocesses = 2 means it will wait for 2 processes with the same name
-- whichprocess = 1 means first one, whichprocess = 2 means second one
openRightProcess('calc.exe',2,2) |
