how do you use -p correctly?
I keep getting an error
- error in src\extra\xalloc.c line 618: xdbg_malloc()

Error: memory allocation problem
Not enough memory resources are available to process this command.

and it seems once i get this I have to restart the process I was scanning to make it work again.

I am using a script like this.

Code:

endian big
for 
set MEMORY_FILE binary ""
FindLoc OFFSET string \x55\x6E\x69\x74\x79\x46\x53\x00\x00\x00\x00 0 ""
goto OFFSET
getdstring NULL 0x1E
get SIZE long
print "%OFFSET% %SIZE%"
log MEMORY_FILE OFFSET 0x400
putvarchr MEMORY_FILE SIZE 0x400
get SIZE2 asize MEMORY_FILE
print "%SIZE2%"
string NAME p "x." SIZE
if SIZE < 0x2000000
log NAME 0 SIZE MEMORY_FILE
endif
next

-p is used only for authorizing the usage of processes, for example if you use:

quickbms script.bms process://file.exe

it will ask you to specify -p

quickbms -p script.bms process://file.exe

QuickBMS 0.9.2 is now available.

The problem is not directly related to quickbms but in Windows not liking multiple consecutive path delimiters.

For example:
- WORKS: "res/file.png"
- DOES NOT WORK: "res//file.png" or "res\\\\\\file.png"

Basically it's a problem happening probably only the 0.1% of times but I'm happy you found it

It will be fixed in 0.9.1

Ah I have seen your last edit, the problem with the utf8 folder is known and will be fixed too.

The problem is fixed. Thanks once again.

i need help im currently using windows 10 acer laptop and well everytime i try to open reimport.bat it opens for about 0.5 sec then crashes ive also tried other reimport.bat but the same thing happens, if you guys know any solutions or alternative please reply

@angeloyt
Can you post a screenshot with the details of the error?
you should probably have both an output from quickbms (in the black window) and one from Windows.

Then try this simple test, open reimport.bat and add -9 at the end, for example:

Code:

quickbms.exe -G -w -r -9

Relaunch reimport.bat and tell me if it crashes.

If it doesn't crash it means it's a bug in one of your drivers or monitoring tools, this senseless behaviour has been fully documented some times and not related to quickbms, you can find info in section "6) Notes" of quickbms.txt

Why such case gives error?

Code:

set WORD string "test"
set TEST long 0

aluigi, posted Wed Dec 12, 2018 1:37 pm (41306)

Because test is recognized as variable.
In quickbms variable names and variable contents are handled in the same way when read from the script because they are interchangable and quotes are optional.

The following are both the same:
set WORD string test
set WORD string "test"

Some versions ago I introduced a double check to avoid that a quoted text may be used as variable name in other locations:

Code:

- Variable 1 ("test") at line 2 is constant but the script tries to edit it.
  Do you want to continue anyway (y/N)?

Okay then. Not a big deal. Though sometimes qbms rules are really weird...

aluigi, posted Wed Dec 12, 2018 2:10 pm (41310)

I agree with you.
The reason is that quickbms started in 2009 for supporting the original mexscript language where test and "test" are the same.
That's also why there are no escaped strings by default except where specified (search cstring in quickbms.txt).
And what about "idstring FILENUM TEXT" where all the other commands have FILENUM as last argument?
Overall everything works well and these small weird things don't give much problems, at least to me after over 2000 scripts

Almost forgot about another issue. From my experience getvarchr doesn't accept signed types. Why? This forces me to make variables negative manually each time when I need it.

Also code like this doesn't work as expected:

Code:

set VAR signed_short 0xFFFF
print "%VAR%"

I expect VAR to be -1, but it shows 65535. It seems like signed types work only with get command.

signed variables where added only for the Get command.
Added to my TODO for the next release.

Because you are recursively calling the function dice_filesystem tons of times consuming all the stack.

Nested functions should never be invoked with the "1" argument that keeps the variables, except if there is a real reason for that.

In your case doesn't matter since with or without 1 it gets called forever.

alright, so i decided to go from this

Code:

      if flag_02 == 0x01
         get value variable4 filenum
         callfunction dice_filesystem 1
      elif flag_02 == 0x02
         get value variable4 filenum
         callfunction dice_filesystem 1

to this

Code:

      if flag_02 == 0x01
         get value variable4 filenum
      elif flag_02 == 0x02
         get value variable4 filenum

because this whole "callfunction dice_filesystem" didn't work out too well regardless of "argument" and could force the interpreter to call it quits for larger(as in, beyond 1-3MB) .sb/.toc files anyway
and thanks to you no the bug has been fixed and the script can actually handle said files now

I think your code (without 1) was correct because that's how Arrays and Dbojectes should be handled in the Frostbite engine.
I use the same in my frostbite.bms script but I guess this NFS uses a slightly different format, after all TOC/SB are ever a mess.

slog command adds extra backslashes

Code:

input text: "\b\l\a\h\-(\\)"
slog NAME 0 SIZE
output result: \\b\\l\\a\\h\\-(\\\\)

aluigi, posted Sat Dec 15, 2018 5:55 pm (41418)

It seems all correct and the backslashes have been correctly escaped.
Slog creates escaped strings because often the strings contain line feeds, for example with multi-line dialogs.

I am having a problem with findloc
quickbms_4gb_files.exe -p dissidia.bms process://dffnt.exe c:\output
I don't think findloc can scan 64bit processes.
if I use this code
findloc OFFSET string "GMPK1"
print "%OFFSET%"
it never finds a value
and if I manually do this
set TMP longlong 0x297ab9c0000
print "%TMP%"
goto TMP
savepos TMP
print "%TMP%"
1st result 2850442444800
2nd result

quickbms and quickbms_4gb_files are 32bit tools, therefore they can't access 64bit processes.

I will never release a 64bit version of the tools because the first requirement is maintaining compatibility with any older OS and system.

longlong doesn't seem work with the "put" command either.

aluigi, posted Thu Mar 14, 2019 5:32 am (45751)

you need to use quickbms_4gb_files.exe for 64bit fields.
Just tested and the output is correct.

I just noticed that tcc (the embedded C compiler) is crashing, I'm investigating what's causing this issue.

Update: ok it was my fault (sort of), everything works perfectly

good bug, it's related to the c_structs feature and freeing some old pointers.
use math in your script at line 25 and 28 and it will work
