Cheat Engine

Hello there, I want to make scout for manager game like football manager. There are about 4000 players in every save file. I want to list all of them at once.

I want to make a lua script searching 1 byte values in succession (1 alignment)
The groupscan command with cheat engine is :

[Dark Byte]

something like this should work

[faizangmc]

not returning anything. though it seems that its searching the values as pc slows down for some seconds after clicking on execute.

This also not returning any results? Whole script :

[Dark Byte]

you need to call FL.initialize() on the foundlist you're using (i forgot that in my example)

so get rid of that second FL=createFoundList(MS) line (which creates a new one overwriting the active list)

[faizangmc]

Not displaying anything still
Im using cheatengine 6.3 r2314

Full script :

[Dark Byte]

What is FL.Count?

And what do you do with results? return results in lua engine will just say it's a table, not the content

Ok i edited my whole post because i have made a lot of changes to the script i earlier posted. Have a listview box that correctly displays the searched addresses in one column and the number of address in another column.
Working like a charm.

Now i just need to apply offsets to the addresses to list player info like "Name" "Surname" in separate columns.

Also add a proggressbar object till the start of search and end of it.

How do i apply offsets to the addresses? Almost there.

EDIT : OK, have attached more images. for easy explanation of what i want to achieve. One image is the screenshot of player's data structure.
2nd image is the resulf of what i get after executing the script of CE.

OK, now I have some time.

Take any player, and give me addresses of all things (from that player) you want to be present in the list.

I will calculate all offsets.


For example, I see at address:
- 150435d7 there is 191 80 125 138 thing
- 150435ec there is DOB
- 150435f4 there is Nationality

Give more addresses

Well, my "Cricket Captain 2013" trial ended, so I had to find registry entries and hidden files to reset that "few days trial" thing from elicense.

Indeed, there are 4031 players. I added simple filtering option (pattern match, you can try "mmad" )

Latest custom builds of CheatEngine:

Anyway, here you can check this unfinished script:
(it can only read few fields, and no save option for now)

ok. I have attached a .CT file in pm to you. Added batting ability and bowling ability editbox. (Rest we dont need to add controls to edit. Editor will be used to edit in detail) This much controls for editing are enough for scout. Instead I was not even expecting this. You added something unique to it a kind of scout + mini editor combo! And loved the filter thing too. Works perfect!

Can we filter it according to nationality too?

Only thing is i tried to list the BatAbility in separate column in listview but coudnt

The command addItems is only for two columns. How do i add a third column?

Also will it be possible to display Nationality in the the listview as Strings like Australia instead of the codes? We do not need to make it editable. Only read only.

One more thing I want to ask, is it possible to edit Batting Ability of ALL players at the same time? Like I select all players, change batting ability to 2000 and click on save. It makes Batting Ability of all players to 2000 with one click?



Thank you loads mgr.Inz.Player


EDIT : ok, I got how to add columns. Now only the following remain :
1) Sortable columns
2) Nationality Filter

Done : Changing Batting Ability all at once (I got this to work too though not the way I wanted. Like with a button click. But directly inserted two lines in btnReload function you can see it I have made it a comment. Works fine that way)

So now only 2 things left i.e. most important being sortable columns anyway using combox with column names, destroying the list. rebuilding it. Or if clickable columns if available. Anyway. Plus Nationality filter. rest done
