Let's say I was playing a game called "game.exe", and wanted to find my health address/pointer/ECT,

How would I search ONLY within "game.exe" module? And not some other module like soundManager.dll or irrelevant?

- Thanks Penguin for answering my last post, I appreciate you!

I don't know what ECT is, but addresses of values and pointers to values are different.

If you're searching for a value and for whatever reason you're certain it's in a certain module, click the box immediately under "Memory Scan Options" in the main form and select the module there.

If you're doing a pointerscan, you can use the "Base address must be in specific range" box (self explanatory). Note that this won't speed up scans. CE starts from the pointed-to address and works backwards toward the base address. (it could save time writing results to disk, but that shouldn't be a bottleneck if you're using multiple pointermaps as is recommended)

Easy check out my img: select your game in that drop down and CE will scan only in that memory range...

Thank you, this helps mostly to reduce manual work when searching through pointermap, to filter modules. Sometimes I would have like 3000 pointerscan results and more then half would be irrelevant in some other .dll

Thanks!
