 Posted: Tue Nov 01, 2016 9:56 pm Post subject: Automatically Update to Latest Cheat Table |
  |
|
Not an extension, but a useful script to make sure people are using your latest tables.
I use an external link on Google Drive to store the current version number.
The table itself keeps track of its own version number.
When there is a later version, it will prompt the user to download it. They need only click save afterwards.
Download AutoUpdate1.CT below and execute the Check for Updates script.
If you answer Yes to the prompts, it will automatically download AutoUpdate2.CT from here.
If you again Check for Updates, it will state you now have the latest version!

If I put this on my cheat tables, or on my trainers?
And that I put it online.
And that I put another version, online with more function, the others will be able to download them directly on the program?

Trainer might give some difficulties.
Not sure your antivirus software would appreciate an application downloading an EXE from the Internet.
Also, you probably can't save over a running executable.
It's still possible, just might need to jump through some extra hoops.

Hi, i'm Tarnum and i wanted to tell you that i made an interesting discovery, this "AutoUpdate1.CT" and "AutoUpdate2.CT" that you made allows you to automatically update to the latest version of the cheat table, for example, i have Age of Empires Definitive Edition build 97381 on Steam and i would like it to automatically update the version of the cheat table itself, that is 97381, where can I put this "AutoUpdate1.CT?" how does it work? once you've put it there, how do you automatically update the game's cheat table to the latest version, 97381? one answer, and thanks!

************************************************
I think @Zanzer provided an example for at least intermediate users.
That's why he posted a code example instead of explaining it.
Here's a more descriptive example of client-side code that updates ".CT" and ".CETRAINER."
What you need to do:
1) You need a Google account. Or, you can try another server that provides alternative features.
2) Create a new page in Google Docs.
https://docs.google.com/
(Click "Blank document" on the homepage.)
Give the new document a name in the top left corner.
Enter the information in the order listed, starting with blank lines.
Example:
-------------
12345
myGame_v2.CT
http://forum.cheatengine.org/download.php?id=119714
Click the "Share" button in the top right corner. In the window that opens, click "Restricted" under "Public access." Select "Anyone with the link." Confirm "Can view." Grab the link from the "Copy link" button and click "Done."
From the link you copied, take the section shown below ( ... Docs ID ... ) and replace it with the same section from the "version_url" given in the code.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/ ... Docs ID ... /edit?usp=sharing
3) After this step, your code is likely ready, and you can complete the following function to run when the table is opened or activated with a button.
Trigger the following function to run the code: checkVer(version_url)
************************************************
Here's the ready-to-use code:
(Edit the version URL as described above.)
| Code: |
local version_url = "https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YuhwVpUjjxNlDTcS2tMOaG_rbvMFkp3q2vyaUc3rBdk/export?format=txt"
local TABLE_VERSION = 1
local path = TrainerOrigin or MainForm --The last location where the user opened the table.
if path==nil then path = os.getenv("TEMP") end
print(path)
local version, newname, table_url = 0, "", ""
function loadTbl(tblUrl,name)
local http = getInternet()
local latest = http.getURL(tblUrl)
if latest ~= nil then
fullpath = path .. "\\" .. name
local file = io.open(fullpath, "w")
file:write(latest)
file:close()
loadTable(name)
else
messageDialog("Failed to load the new table!", mtError, mbOK)
end
http.destroy()
end
function checkVer(verUrl)
local http = getInternet()
local result = http.getURL(verUrl)
sl = createStringList()
if result then
sl.Text = result
for i=1, sl.count - 1 do
version = tonumber(sl[1])
newname = sl[2]
table_url = sl[3]
end
if version > TABLE_VERSION then
local answer = messageDialog("There is a newer version of this table.\nWould you like to download it now?", mtWarning, mbYes, mbNo)
if answer == mrYes then
messageDialog("Be sure to save the new table!", mtInformation, mbOK)
--print("Loaded Table start!")
loadTbl(table_url,newname)
end
else
messageDialog("You currently have the latest version!", mtInformation, mbOK)
end
else
messageDialog("Failed to find latest version!", mtError, mbOK)
end
http.destroy()
sl.destroy()
end
checkVer(version_url)
|
The meaning of the lines in the Google document:
0) "---------------"
This line is unused and required. If CE reads this document from the first line, it will give an error, and you must include the first line.
1) Version: If you add a new version here, the code in the table will be executed. Upgrade it if a new version is available.
2) Table name: Some users want to indicate the version in the table name. Fill in this section with the new version name. (.CT or .Cetrainer)
3) New version table URL: Insert the download link for the new version table here.
Process these four lines correctly in order. Trainer will read from line 1 and perform the matching.
Enjoy it!

just a fyi, loadTable can load tables from stream objects
so:
| Code: |
ss=createStringStream(latest)
loadTable(ss)
ss.destroy()
|
it's still recommended to save the table afterwards though

Your suggestion is better, @DB, thanks.
This way:
1) It opens the new version in the existing table.
2) It saves the existing table with the new version and name.
Note: Especially for ".cetrainers," set the timer to a delay of at least 3 seconds.
This way, it can better read the name of the opened table.
| Code: | local version_url = "https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YuhwVpUjjxNlDTcS2tMOaG_rbvMFkp3q2vyaUc3rBdk/export?format=txt"
local TABLE_VERSION = 1
local path = TrainerOrigin or MainForm --The last location where the user opened the table.
if path==nil then path = os.getenv("TEMP") end
print(path)
mf = MainForm
local sd = mf.SaveDialog1
local od = mf.OpenDialog1
local filefullpath
tr1 = createTimer()
tr1.Interval=3000
tr1.OnTimer=function(t)
filefullpath = sd.Filename or od.Filename or ''
print(filefullpath)
t.Destroy()
end
tr1.Enabled=true
local version, newname, table_url = 0, "", ""
function loadTbl(tblUrl,name)
local http = getInternet()
local latest = http.getURL(tblUrl)
if latest ~= nil then
fullpath = path .. "\\" .. name
ss=createStringStream(latest)
loadTable(ss)
os.rename(filefullpath,fullpath)
saveTable(fullpath)
ss.destroy()
else
messageDialog("Failed to load the new table!", mtError, mbOK)
end
http.destroy()
end
function checkVer(verUrl)
local http = getInternet()
local result = http.getURL(verUrl)
sl = createStringList()
if result then
sl.Text = result
for i=1, sl.count - 1 do
version = tonumber(sl[1])
newname = sl[2]
table_url = sl[3]
end
if version > TABLE_VERSION then
local answer = messageDialog("There is a newer version of this table.\nWould you like to download it now?", mtWarning, mbYes, mbNo)
if answer == mrYes then
messageDialog("Be sure to save the new table!", mtInformation, mbOK)
--print("Loaded Table start!")
loadTbl(table_url,newname)
end
else
messageDialog("You currently have the latest version!", mtInformation, mbOK)
end
else
messageDialog("Failed to find latest version!", mtError, mbOK)
end
http.destroy()
sl.destroy()
end
checkVer(version_url) |
