Cheat Engine

[emperor]

Just a little report here. Maybe if considered important enough a small change in the gui change could be done.
Firstoff : an explenation what AAT is.
AAT halts a game and brings the favorite cheat tool to the front. (the favorite cheat tool being CE is obvious and only natural isn't it?)
Now ...after scanning and finding a value it's obvious that i wanted to find pointers for the game...because always after an hour playing the address is changed when another game is joined (this is an online RPG). I thought fine and clicked on find what writes to this value...but bad luck. Once i was back in the game to make the value change and switch back to the CE i was unable to do anything. The reason is obvious: as long as that "find what writes to this value" thing is active clicking on other parts of CE results in a signal tone, and not being able to do a thing unless the search for what writes to this address is stopped and closed. But now that CE is in front of it, how am i supposed to add the opcode to the address list and close the find what writes to this value search? Um yeah...
okay this is unimportant. Just pointing out minor problems that occur when using cheat engine in order to give Dark Byte a feedback.
After all this is not the fault of CE, this is the fault of AAT being used ...i know. Maybe an AAT like switching fuction would be awesome?
CE already has Pausing and showing in the foreground, however in anti tab protected games i can hardly judge that...as all anti tab games I know do not work when the process is created with CE and setting the target process with CE is sort of impossible without having CE in the foreground.
edit: oh no...after all it turned out like a feature request. This is NOT. Just telling people about combining CE with AAT. It works, i recommand it if you don't want to use the network version. Just finding Pointers doesn't work but that isn't too bad.

Doesn't the option of ce to hide the foreground windowhide all windows work in those games ?

Anti tab protected games, those i am talking about kill themself ASAP once they are minimized or anything other than themselves is shown on the screen. That is why AAT freezes the game before doing so. Maybe freezing the game would be possible with CE as well however in CE you have to select the process what does not seem to be possible without seeing CE before. Maybe a hotkey like "set current foreground window as target" would be enough to successfully freeze an anti tab protected game and use CEs foreground function to bring it to the foreground.

Here is the way i found:
In aat,select the as default cheat program something else than CE.
Then let it switch to that program and freeze the game. Then switch to CE and work as always. There will be no problems then as long as you switch to CE every time you freeze with AAT.
Too bad that the game i was trying to cheat had 34 addresses with the value that was supposed to be the pointer's value so i was unable to find the pointer after all ( )

I may win for the most epic necro of all time, but this post is listed in CE's main documentation, without any mention of what "AAT" is. Not too surprisingly "AAT" brings up piles of Star Wars links and nothing at all about this app.

A link to this program's development page would be useful, or at least it's full name.
