Has this ever happened to you?
Just when you were testing it but had forgotten to save your script simba crashes.
Well. There goes all your unsaved work. What now? Redo it.
Who wants to redo all that work? Not I, so with a suggestion from @n3ss3s, I bring you...
How to recover your lost simba script after a crash!
To do this youre going to need a few things...
1. A simba that is in this... state.
Yes, we still want the process running so DONT DONT DONT close it out.
2. CheatEngine or any other memory editing software (i used cheat engine because... its the first thing i thought of)
I think thats it.
Lets start this tut off.
Step 1.
DONT CLOSE OUT THE SIMBA WINDOW!
Step 2. Open cheat engine.
(That means double clicking on this icon)
And you should get something like this.
Step 3. Attach Cheat Engine to the hung Simba process.
To do this, click the little computer button in the upper left hand corner...
A window like this will now be open.
Find Simba on it and click Open.
Not Much will change on the interface, just make sure youve got something like this at the top.
Step 4. View the Memory.
Now... Half way down or so, go ahead and click the Memory View button.
Now... youll have something like this.
Now.. what the eff is all this crap?
Well... Your script is in here... Somewhere, we just need to find it.
Step 5. Find your script in the memory
So. Click Search at the top and click Find Memory.
Now youll have this little bad boy.
This is where it gets a little tricky...
Youll need to think back to your script... What was your first line after all your includes? Dont know?
A good idea is to try to use your username as a search because... well thats near the top.
In my case, i had the var "EmailAddy" in my declare players, so ill search for that.
Wait a second and shazam!
There it is!\
Lets write this memory address down.
In my case, it is 04AE72A3
So... Now you can either scroll down manually... or search again to find the end.
Your script probably ends in "End." so search for that...
And there it is again!
Lets copy down the address. 04AEA0FA
Step 6. SAVE YOUR SCRIPT!
This is the easy part.
Click file -> Save Memory Region.
Youll get a window like this.
Now just paste your 2 memory addresses in and click save.
Save it where ever you want and then navigate to it.
Open it up in notepad or whatever and...
THERE IT IS!!!
Copy and paste it out and into your re-opened simba with the script.
GREAT SUCCESS!
(hopefully ill go through and make this look better, but for now. here it is)
