Script always returns a 0 value

[verminor]

Hello fellow members,

Today I finally took the time to get into memory reading using AutoIT, but for some reason I keep getting a 0 value as result.

Since I thought I probably did something wrong I decided to watch a tutorial and did exactly what the guy in the video did, but I kept getting the 0 value.

I'm actually starting to believe that it's OS related, since I use windows 8.

This is the script I tried:

#include <NomadMemory.au3> ;because you need this for _memread functions

$Address = 0x00690380
Dim $Offset[2] = [0, 0x0]

while 1
$Process = _MemoryOpen(ProcessExists('Tutorial-i386.exe'))
If Not @error Then
$Value = _MemoryPointerRead($Address, $Process, $Offset)
If Not @error Then ToolTip($Value[1],0,0)

_MemoryClose($Process)
EndIf

Sleep(100)
WEnd

If anyone experienced the same issue and found a fix for this I would really appreciate if you could share it

Thanks in advance,

Vee

I don't really know anything about this, but have you tried using #RequireAdmin?

Still doesn't work :S

verminor,

I have never used this udf but the following seems pertinent.

I don't see any verification that

(ProcessExists('Tutorial-i386.exe')

will return a pid and how do you know that

$Address = 0x00690380

is within this address space, assuming that it exists?

Well, even this simple script doesn't work:

#RequireAdmin
#include  ;because you need this for _memread functions

$PID=WinGetProcess("Tutorial-i386.exe")
$hMem= _MemoryOpen($PID)

while 1

$Mem_Read = _MemoryRead('0x' & '001FF4B0', $hMem)
ToolTip($Mem_Read,0,0)

Sleep(100)
WEnd

_MemoryClose($hMem)

verminor,

You are still not testing for the existence of the program you are after.

like

if processexists("some name") then ...

That doesn't make any difference, lol.

Ok, good luck
