Hello DB,

Is there anyway to save cheat engine's memory record/script only?

The goal is to save a barebone version of a table to be shared with
other players and strip the table of say
<UserdefinedSymbols>
<Structures>
<LuaScript>
etc. that is not essential to running the script.

If possible in CE 6.7 could you include a menu option to save only the
barebone/minimum save for sharing purpose?

Thank you.

I'm not sure this needs to be a feature... just open the ct file in a text (or xml) editor and delete the parts you don't want... or just select what you want from the address list, copy them and then paste them into a new CE instance / text file and save it. Unless you're doing this dozens of times a day it doesn't seem like a big issue.

Though it's possible someone could create a lua script that would remove most of those things from a table and simply add it to an autorun file that runs it when you click a button like I did for duplicating a scan tab.... hm,

Code:
for i = 0, getStructureCount() do
  getStructure(i).removeFromGlobalStructureList()
end
should work for removing structures (at least in theory, I haven't tested it)

I don't see any way to automatically remove symbols but
Code:
mv.Menu.Items[2].Item[20].doClick()
should open the userdefined symbol list and let the user remove them...

I also don't see anyway to get the table luascript or or comments (without enumerating every address at least)... at least not that's mentioned in main.lua (though I could have skipped over it even with keyword searches, there's a lot of information in there lol)

the barebone minimum depends on the person you ask.

if your AA or lua scripts reference structure offsets by name then the structures have to stay

there is a menu option to delete all structures though

^ It will cause problems if CE didn't save that data. Removing them yourself isn't that big a deal as the xml files are simple text files

That makes a lot of sense.
I didn't know you could use structure items as a labels in scripts.

I already made a script that removes list of tags and its contents from ct tables.
I was thinking that if this functionality was part of CE core, then
I don't have to micromanage code maintenance across CE updates.

Thanks a lot DB and friends.
