Cheat Engine

I'm using Structure Dissect on a .net game (Rogue Legacy). Using the latest DotNetDataCollector (july 6 2014), it seems the descriptions of the fields could be wrong.

See attached screenshot of the structure as example. The values and types all seem correct, but the descriptions are weird. Offsets 0014 and 0018 for example are called "Explosive_Expert" and "Icicle" but I'm almost certain they're supposed to be width and height. Same with offsets 0048 and 004C, should be X and Y positions (a Vector2 struct).

Comparing it to the decompiled source code they don't match up, some fields are missing and others appear multiple times.

Thoughts?

(P.S. DotNetDataCollector is fucking awesome though... did not discover it until I'd already been at it several hours with an older version of CE, and after upgrading and suddenly seeing the text 'RogueLegacy.RoomObj' in the Structure dissect it blew my mind .)

Not really sure, I know that the entries with _2 are part of a vector (2nd part of the 2 field vector with the same name)

You restarted cheat engine after replacing the dotnetdatacollector exe's ?

do you know if the original one does it show it like this as well ?

Yep restarted computer a few times just to make sure.

I went back to the old DotNetDataCollector (the one packaged with the CE 6.4 download), uninstalled CE and removed folder, reinstalled CE. Aside from not showing the superclass fields (which was fixed in the later version of DotNetDataCollector) the descriptions look the same. See attached screenshot.

The entries with _2 are interesting, I count 5 of them in my first screenshot that occur in the superclass, and when I look at the source code the superclass also has 5 Vector2 fields. So it looks like it gets that right, just like almost everything else. Just the description part that's odd.

I added the decompiled code of both classes (RoomObj and it's super GameObj) in case that helps any:
pastebin(dot)com/7zbU4gKX
pastebin(dot)com/4KVchvHd

i havn't checked the class yet, but am i correct in assuming the weird names(excluding the_2,3,4...) show up only in fields declared by the superclass(es) ?

[Novakin]

I hadn't noticed before but you're right. The fields from the class itself (after offset 0074) have correct descriptions but the fields from the superclass (before offset 0074) are the odd ones.

Would it have anything to do with the fact that the superclass is from a different dll / assembly?

class (RoomObj): E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Rogue Legacy\RogueLegacy.exe
superclass (GameObj): E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Rogue Legacy\DS2DEngine.dll

[Dark Byte]

it's possible it's referencing the string index in the wrong assembly. i'll add it to the stuff that needs to be checked

Ok, thanks!
