Hey,

I need to run my script from the command line with args for a dynamic analysis of the script.
But when I do that I get errors because of the CE specific functions which don't exist in Lua itself.
Is there any way to do something like this, without removing all CE Lua functions?

Greetings,

Define those CE-specific functions yourself at the top of the script?

Won't they replace the CE functions?
I still want to be able to use the functions when used with CE.

Create a separate file called "defines.lua" where ever you're testing your script.
Then include the following at the top of the CE script:

Sounds reasonable Very Happy

So I have to define the CE functions in defines.lua, right?

I've made suggestion to mgr.inz.Player for a command line interface to ce lua
http://forum.cheatengine.org/viewtopic.php?p=5639395&highlight=#5639395
but seem not a right moment at the launch of new ce 6.5 at that time.

I tried make one, but it is buggy and inadequate, not even the arg variable for the script parameters.

At least it is possible, and should be easy for experienced programmer~

The attached trial use MemoryMap to communicate between ce and the command line interface.

Need ce 6.5.

Attached zip is in the table file, extract to ce directory with relative path;
