scanmem VS protontricks

As other comments say, this is missing packed unions, which is the best solution I've found while writing a memory editor.

See: https://github.com/scanmem/scanmem/blob/c6045a8677f37a51b976...

Recently, as a personal learning project, I decided to write a small virtual memory scanner PeepingTom, similar in behavior to ScanMem, or Cheat Engine.

Use gameconqueror. It's the easiest solution I could find. GitHub

as the issue states, it is on their roadmap apparently. gc/scanmem on the other hand states they won't: https://github.com/scanmem/scanmem/issues/301

It's not the same, but give scanmem a try. It comes with a GUI program called GameConqueror. Unfortunately it's very limited in comparison to Cheat Engine but it might do what you want!

For Linux there are alternatives such as scanmem, which will also work with Proton games (Windows games running on a compatibility layer on Linux called "Proton"). There are also some additional hints under https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamPlay/comments/g3bhwz/cheat_engine_with_steam_proton_games/ you could look into.

Game Conqueror is a Cheat Engine alternative for Linux, but there are no Flatpak or AppImage.

GameConqueror works for Linux native games as well as games within WINE. Obligatory "please don't use cheats on people in multiplayer unawares" message.

I am trying to install GameConqueror on Tumbleweed. Scanmem is in the official repos which is nice, but GameConqueror is extremely painful. I built from code and nothing worked, so I made this GitHub issue. It still does not work because the link brings me to an installer. Using YaST 1 click installer says error in the package, and there doesn't seems to be more of them to download.

Just played games on Linux for the first time. It's way easier than I originally thought since Proton is integrated into Steam client. Can even run non-Steam games through Steam client but had to use protontricks to add dependencies like Visual C++ redistributables.

We'll be needing Protontricks to install those packages into our Proton session of our game (each steam game has their own one). You can install it here https://github.com/Matoking/protontricks.

Try to run the mod manager in the game prefix by using protontricks.

ALSO if a mod has some kind of external dependency, like if it specifically mentions needing VisualC or .NET Runtime, Protontricks will be a lifesaver for installing these into Proton prefixes. Might not need it often, but could come in handy to know anyways.

I'm learning a bit more about Proton. You can install Protontricks and then run protontricks 824270 and it should install stuff for you.

You can try protontricks with protontricks 1730590 winhttp (1730590 is The Entropy Centre's Steam App ID, that I just looked up on protondb)

That might be a problem, you could try to install native d3dx9 and xact to the game's wine prefix using winetricks or protontricks. I'd try d3dx9 on it's own first.

But I suspect that you'd find it much easier and more convenient to just use protontricks for this.

install it in the game's proton instance with protontricks
