Add 64-bit reads/writes to tools that manipulate memory

Open vadosnaprimer opened this issue 5 months ago • 2 comments

With lua this was impossible on 5.1 but 5.3 has 64-bit integers. Other tools like mem watch/search/hexeditor seem to always have been able to do this, but I guess low demand made it not happen.

In Doom a bunch of variables are 64-bit, and obviously in some other cores too, so it looks useful to extend the API.

Which tools exactly is this targeting? Is this for the lua api only, or are there other apis that need 64-bit functions?

Lua, mem watch/search, hexeditor. Basic bot I guess too.

Maybe there's some other tool where you can choose data size for addresses that I'm forgetting.
