Details

When calling certain functions a process handle is required. This is found by calling the openProcess function on a process.

Data Types

Some functions also require a dataType parameter to denote the type of data being read or written. This can either be a string, or a constant from within the library:

Data Type String Constant
byte "byte" memoryjs.BYTE
int "int" memoryjs.INT
32 bit signed integer "int32" memoryjs.INT32
32 bit unsigned integer "uint32" memoryjs.UINT32
64 bit signed integer "int64" memoryjs.INT64
64 bit unsigned integer "uint64" memoryjs.UINT64
dword (uint32) "dword" memoryjs.DWORD
short (int16) "short" memoryjs.SHORT
long (int32) "long" memoryjs.LONG
float "float" memoryjs.FLOAT
double "double" memoryjs.DOUBLE
boolean "bool" memoryjs.BOOL
boolean "boolean" memoryjs.BOOLEAN
pointer "ptr" memoryjs.PTR
pointer "pointer" memoryjs.POINTER
string "str" memoryjs.STR
string "string" memoryjs.STRING
vector3 "vec3" memoryjs.VEC3
vector3 "vector3" memoryjs.VECTOR3
vector4 "vec4" memoryjs.VEC4
vector4 "vector4" memoryjs.VECTOR4

Vectors

When using the vector3 or vector4 data types, the library expects certain standard forms.

Vector3 is a data structure of three floats:

const vector3 = { x: 0.0, y: 0.0, z: 0.0 };

Vector4 is a data structure of four floats:

const vector4 = { w: 0.0, x: 0.0, y: 0.0, z: 0.0 };

Functions

readMemory(handle, address, dataType[, callback])

  • handle - the handle of the process, retrieved from calling openProcess
  • address - the address in memory to read from
  • dataType - the type of data being read
  • callback - has two parameters:
    • error - error message (if one occurred)
    • value - the value read from memory

returns (if no callback provided): the value read from memory

Reads the memory at a given address.

// synchronously
const value = memoryjs.readMemory(processObject.handle, address, dataType);

// asynchronously
memoryjs.readMemory(processObject.handle, address, dataType, (error, value) => {

});

writeMemory(handle, address, value, dataType)

  • handle - the handle of the process, retrieved from calling openProcess
  • address - the address in memory to write to
  • value - the data to write to memory
  • dataType - the type of data being written
  • callback - has two parameters:
    • error - error message (if one occurred)
memoryjs.writeMemory(processObject.handle, address, value, dataType);
