Cheat Engine

[mgr.inz.Player]

I was intrigued by this topic: http://forum.cheatengine.org/viewtopic.php?t=544107

For now, all CE6 standalone trainers are extracting all needed files to: %temp%\cetrainers\CET{random}.tmp\extracted\

getCheatEngineDir() leads to above temporary folder.

and io.open("file.txt", "r") opens file.txt inside "extracted" folder


But how to get the trainer real path and use it? I made small modification to standalonephase2.dat file
([url=link down]download[/url]) (copy/paste/overwrite original) (backup original)
(DIFF)


Modified standalonephase2.dat causes additional file named TrainerRealPath.txt (yes, it's a pretty lame name ) to be created inside extracted directory - just after you launch your trainer but before it unpacks the needed files.


Now with this Lua code and standalonephase2.dat you can get trainer real path:

Interesting!
Can you re-upload the files?

In 6.2 it's a variable named TrainerOrigin

Thanks!
Gonna test it now.

[mgr.inz.Player]

@Mother of hack, Indeed. What DB wrote.

@all
The above standalonephase2.dat is now useless.

But, I'm using standalonephase2.dat to do other things for me
Creates file with pids of all currently running processes + information about parent process for those. I just read that file with io.open("processes.txt", "r"):read()



As for saving trainer settings, I've made class (Lua class or whatever it is called in Lua) for such things. Saving window position, size, user preferences, etc.
I will create new topic for this when ready, probably with name: "LoadSaveOptions".

It's finished in 90% (Apr 15, 2012). It's almost universal/flexible. I can add more entries inside "settings" window with ease, all controls buttons are created automatically...

Here is trainer with "LoadSaveOptions" class:

To do:
- 5% - custom hotkeys (when I find some free time)
- 5% - testing, testing, ... (-//-)

Any chance to have look in the source of it? .

hi mgr.inz.Player and CEF ..

without saving files on the table,
Is it possible to record in Trainer?
So "MyPath = getMainForm ()", like "findTableFile ('record.txt')".

I designed a game.
progress in the game, I'm recording.
With the above code it will be exposed recorded files.
I don't want them to edit the .txt file on the Desktop.

Is it possible to record inaccessible file?
Thanks.

write a binary file, and/or use compression/encryption. might be able to make it hidden with shellExecute... should be able to put it in %userprofile% / SavedGames or something if you wanted, just because the default path is the table/trainer location doesn't mean you can't give an absolute path when opening the file.

I suppose you could also use the registry via the settings lua stuff but it seems locked to the CE key /shrug.


afaik there's no easy way to overwrite saved table files and resave the trainer.

[AylinCE]

Thanks for the answer @FreeER
I think I can set the absolute path: "Temp" or "CE Autorun".
3 existing files will be saved.
I think I can put them in one folder.
I tried encryption, but the restore doesn't produce the same result.

What I'm trying to tell you is more clear here.
Please open the game and try to play.
On the table: "Win List", Level and xp records will come.

( A game open to development and in the beginning. )

Without using VB, I will only work with CE Lua.
Thanks in advance for all your ideas.

As far as I can tell, I do not claim "expertise".
I used VB, and I admit it's more advanced than CE Lua.
But my goal is: CE Lua's boundaries,
Except to interrupt or correct the game,
see if you can do a lot of different things, and show them.

I remember that copyright infringement and CE and CEF were warned.
There is much labor here; CE is causing people to be involved with codes.
This is a beautiful mission for the future.
Or so I think.

I agree: I still can't write code,
But that doesn't stop me from creating different issues.

Gifs, MP3 Player, Trainers, Games.
These and more are just steps.
Objective: Coding with fun.
Don't focus on cutting the game, time is running out.
Different topics lead to great goals.
Note: You may think I'm in the wrong place!
But to spread it, CE is a pretty good start.

I repeat: I will not give up CE Lua Script.

I exaggerate too much?
In my eyes, numbers and letters dance in harmony,
Each code seems to trigger a different life.
CE is a meaningful coding tool and spreading honor.

You were saying how @Corroder;
Cheers!

and solution ..
and again @mgrInzPlayer code.


The following code allows you to record all available transactions.

The full game has done. Using CE Lua. (See how, NOT JUST VB)
