This will count the amount of bytes in a given AOB. Useful for readmem function and perhaps others. I felt that the process could be more simplified without having to manually count the bytes for a given AOB so made this.
Installation
Copy
byteCounter.lua to
X:\Program Files\Cheat Engine 7.2\autorun folder, where X is your main drive and restart Cheat Engine.
Usage

If this helped in any way, I would appreciate it if you could rate this post.
Thanks to all here that have shared their knowledge with this community. Without it, I would not have been able to accomplish this extension.
Thank you

Might I suggest having the output show both decimal and hex. So it can be used to calculate offsets for AOBs scripts as well.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've updated to reflect that

Hi
,
so I was just browsing the tools topics, and I saw
AOB SIGNATURE GENERATOR AND SCANNER by
ShyTwig16, and there was a way to determine how many AOBs in the selection so I tried to use those functions with your code, here the results.
Code: Select all
function countBytes()
local dv_address1 = getMemoryViewForm().DisassemblerView.SelectedAddress
local dv_address2 = getMemoryViewForm().DisassemblerView.SelectedAddress2
local startAddress = math.min(dv_address1, dv_address2)
local startAddressBytes = getInstructionSize(startAddress)
local endAddress = math.max(dv_address1, dv_address2)
local endAddressBytes = getInstructionSize(endAddress)
local length = endAddress + endAddressBytes - startAddress
if length > startAddressBytes then
ShowMessage('Bytes at Start: ' .. startAddressBytes .. ' (0x'.. string.format("%X", startAddressBytes) .. ')\nBytes at End: ' .. endAddressBytes .. ' (0x'.. string.format("%X", endAddressBytes) .. ')\nAOB Length: ' .. length .. ' (0x'.. string.format("%X", length) .. ')')
return
else
local sBytes = inputQuery('Count bytes in AOB', 'Selected Address has: ' .. startAddressBytes .. ' (0x' .. string.format("%X", startAddressBytes) .. ') Bytes\n\nEnter bytes to count: ', readFromClipboard())
if sBytes ~= nil then
_,count = sBytes:gsub("%S+","")
local hex = string.format("%X", count)
ShowMessage('The AOB has '..count..' bytes.' .. '\nDec : ' .. count .. '\nHex : ' .. hex)
end
end
end
function addByteCountMenu()
local parent = getMemoryViewForm().Component[113].Items
byteMenu = createMenuItem(parent)
parent.add(byteMenu)
byteMenu.Caption = 'Byte Counter'
byteMenu.ImageIndex = 74
byteMenu.OnClick = countBytes
end
addByteCountMenu()
if you select only one line
