So I have a trainer I want to compile to exe. So when I tried to open the compiled exe there was an error popping up. I knew this was working fine when not compiled.

Code:

Error:[string "require 'Ifs'
module 'Ifs' not found:
no field package.preload['lfs']
no file 'C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\Temp\cetrainers\CET12D.tmp\extracted\lua\lfs.lua'

no file 'C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\Temp\cetrainers\CET12D.tmp\extracted\clibs64\lfs.dll'
no file '.\clibs64\lfs.dll'

i've already put require 'lfs' on the very top of the but no luck. Can someone please help?

I've put lfs. It's the font that why looks like that. I've already put it all on the tablefile and its working but when I compiled it to exe that's the error im getting.

That's clearly an I (uppercase i), not an l (lowercase L)

Press Ctrl+F in your browser and see for yourself

If they look the same, consider changing the font you code with

first of, LFS is already part of CE's installation so you can just do lfs.currentdir()

(the lfs dll is in <cheatenginedir>\clib*\lfs.dll)

as for why the lfs.dll from the package doesn't work is because it's not compiled for ce's lua implementation. It expects to find a lua53.dll, which isn't there. There's only lua53-32.dll and lua53-64.dll

you need to compile lfs yourself and make it link against these dll's

It looks like "lfs" is already defined in CE.

Code:

function lfsAttr(aa)
attr=lfs.attributes(aa)
if attr then
--file/folder exists
if attr.mode=='directory' then
print("folder exists")
else
print("It exists, but is no folder")
end
else
--file/folder does not exist
print("Does not exist")
end
end

scriptFile = getCheatEngineDir() --..'autorun'

local a1=(scriptFile..'myFolder')
local a2=(scriptFile..'languages')

print("********* a1 **********")
lfsAttr(a1)
print("********* a2 **********")
lfsAttr(a2)

Code:

local path
if getTempFolder then
path=getTempFolder()
else
path=getCheatEngineDir()
end
lfs.mkdir(path.."editing-ceaascripts") --assume it works, or it already exists
path=path.."editing-ceaascripts\\"

--printf("initial path=%s", path)

Is this correct?

Code:

local path
if getTempFolder then
path=getTempFolder()
else
path=getCheatEngineDir()
end
lfs.mkdir(path.."clibs64") --assume it works, or it already exists
path=path.."clibs64\\"

printf("initial path=%s", path)

Cause when I compiled it and ran the program it said this

Code:

Error:[string "PROCESS_NAME = 'xxxx.exe'.,."]:244: attempt to index a nil value (global 'lfs')

its different from the last time

when you compile the .exe you can add files to the package and assign what subfolder they should be in. Do that there clibs64 is already in the searchpath _________________ Do not ask me about online cheats. I don't know any and wont help finding them. Like my help?

@DarkByte tests many bugs you encounter and if it doesn't say "This is a feature that needs to be fixed", it means that only you encountered it and gives you ideas to try different solutions.

My suggestion is; Try your code (.exe or whatever) on a different PC with a clean CE installed.

Also, the folder creation code I gave you in your previous question does not use "lfs". Have you tried it? (See your previous questionnaire.)

Yes still the same. there's an error. It just need to load the file to package in order to work .

Yeah I will try on another pc and beta test it to my friends see if there any abnormalities. Anyways thanks for the tip
