[mezzo]

Could someone explain (or point me in the right direction) how I am supposed to read in a linked list in a target program ?

I figured out that the structure for an inventory item is 48 bytes big and that the first 4 bytes of each structure is a pointer to the next inventory item.
The last inventory item has all zeroes in the next_item_pointer field (end of LL)

I also located a static pointer that always points to the first item (first node on the linked list).

I suppose LUA needs to parse each node as it is variable how many nodes (inventory items) are present at any time.

(target program is nethack for windows)

if anyone has any code snipets, advise or pointers where I should look for info on how to do this in CE, that would be greatly appreciated.

I'm no wiz coder, but there is no need to dumb it down I can handle it.

Look into readInteger
use readInteger to read the pointer and use that as the pointer for the next block

For the rest use readBytes, readFloat, etc... to read entries of the current block

As for programming it look into examples. LUA supports while loops so you can do the check if the next (or current) block is null there

example:
