I am trying to get started with sockets, my first goal is to create 2 trainers that run on different pc's in the same local network, where

the server's trainer form has a text field
the client's trainer has a label

And as soon as I enter something into the server's textfield, the text appears in the client's label.

My problem: I have no idea on how to do it. I googled around and read that I need to look into sockets, so I downloaded http://cheatengine.org/temp/ce_luasocket.rar, extraced it in the CE main folder and ran the 32bit version of CE as administrator. (my pc is 64bit but DB said in this thread that you need to use the 32bit version, for whatever reason).

I used

Try check the date of *.dll inside zip/rar, it is not for ce 6.5 if before late 2015.

Also try check the lua variable package.cpath, it is a string of paths ';' separated, check if the dll is in one of path.

btw, ce lua dll module may need custom made/compiled.

bye~

That did the trick, finally works!
Thanks everyone

For everyone who stumbles about this thread because he has the same problem:
Step1: Download CheatEngine 6.4
Step2: These are the socket files you will need
Step3: run the 32bit version of CheatEngine, even if your computer is 64bit
