That one is going to be a bit nasty.

Try using FFI::Pointer#+

e.g.
0.upto(tis[:len]).each do |i|
  s = FM::FTexFtItemT.new(tis[:val] + (i * FM::FTexFtItemT.size))
  # do stuff with s here
end


Alternatively, you can use Pointer.new(FTexFtItemT, tis[:val]) to
create a new pointer with a different type_size (the size used to step
along it using the [] method).

e.g.

val_array = FFI::Pointer.new(FM::FTexFtItemT, tis[:val])
0.upto(tis[:len]).each do |i|
  s = FM::FTexFtItemT.new(val_array[i])
  # do stuff with s struct here
end

It wouldn't be that hard to create a bit of a helper class to do this,
since its a pretty common thing ... and some enterprising induhvidual
might want to do that and submit it for inclusion in say ... NiceFFI.
