# Cheat Engine Hot Reload Manager User Guide

## 1. Overview

**Hot Reload Manager** is a Cheat Engine Lua script tool that provides a top‑level **"Hot Reload"** menu on the main menu bar, allowing you to:

- **Add** any Lua script to the management list (via file dialog selection).
- **Check/Uncheck** scripts to decide which ones participate in reloading.
- **One‑click reload** all checked scripts without restarting Cheat Engine.
- **Delete** individual or all scripts (only removes the list entries, does not delete files on disk).
- All settings (script list, check states, last opened directory) are automatically saved and restored after restarting CE.

This tool greatly improves the efficiency of script development and debugging, especially useful when writing multiple script plugins or modules.
If you do not plan to develop or debug your own Lua scripts, there is no need to install this script.

## 2. Installation and First‑Time Use

### 2.1 Installation Steps
1. Place the `ReloadManager.lua` file into Cheat Engine's `autorun\custom\` directory (if the `custom` folder does not exist, create it manually).
2. Restart Cheat Engine (or manually execute the script once in the Lua engine).
3. The **"Hot Reload"** menu item appears on the main menu bar.

### 2.2 First‑Time Use Workflow
1. Click **"Hot Reload" → "Add Script..."** and select the `.lua` file you want to manage.
2. Repeat to add multiple scripts as needed.
3. Each script name has a checkbox in front of it; clicking on the script name toggles its check state (checked = participates in reload).
4. After modifying scripts, click **"Reload Selected Scripts"** to re‑execute all checked scripts.
