Change multiple addresses at once

@0xAF This is an interesting feature request, thanks for submitting it!

I'm a little hesitant to implement such a feature as-is, due to the specificity of the issue you are facing (not sure of the benefits vs effort it would take to add it).

There's actually a way to apply the memory modification to all search results through the command line version of the plugin. Based on your GitHub profile, I think you should be capable of trying this before we go any further.

Try SSH'ing into your SteamDeck while playing your game, and do this:

cd ~/homebrew/plugins/memory-deck/
python3 main.py
<enter the process ID of the game in question, press enter>
<enter the value you are wanting to modify, press enter>
<keep searching for the value until you have a small set of results, I recommend doing something in the game to modify the value you are searching for to make it easier to find>

<once you only have the values you want to change, run the following>
setNewValue 12345

You can run exit to exit, or reset to reset the plugin CLI. Let me know how this goes for you, I eagerly await your reply!

Thanks!

@0xAF Actually, re-reading the code, it looks like it was actually changing all the search results at once anyways, which is kind of funny.

I'm updating the code to only change individual addresses instead, which might actually be a fix for your specific issue.

@HeyItsWaters Thanks for the suggestions. After some researching about the game, it seems it has a defense mechanism, which is not that simple. I gave up cheating and I will play it as it is. ;)

Thanks for the hint for the console version of the plugin. It would be good to mention it in the readme somewhere (I guess), so the advanced users could do some more stuff with the plugin.

I'm too busy to do some gaming and some testing right now, but I will checkout the console version of the plugin and I will come back with more suggestions or some PR (eventually).

I believe you're right about the effort vs benefit. So I would suggest to close this issue, unless you believe it should be discussed further.

Thanks for the great job on the plugin again.
Cheers!

Sounds good, I'll go ahead and close this one but we can re-open if needed.

Yeah I have issue #9 to actually document more stuff.
