.CEA to .DLL or any method to Auto-Load any Auto Assembly Scripts?

To be honest. Over the years I am without doubt, in surprised that no one has done something like this.
A little bit about me and what I do.
I've been learning ASM and how it works for almost 4 years by now and I've been effectively using Cheat Engine as my main tool for disassembly and tracing routes to figure out values of memories and pointers.
I've played over 3 games. All online, 2 Small Projects, 1 Major Addiction.
For 2 years I've tend to struggle on most of my edits due to Restriction of Bytes (e.g: If I need to do MOV EAX,5 but I cannot because MOV EAX,EBX is 2 bytes and I cannot overwrite the other OPs that are required) and because of this
most of my edits was pretty rough(had to recode this 3 times over the past year)
Then I joined another game, I was introduced to a new level of game hacking where
I could make my own custom assembly .
Because of this higher level of game hacking. I've been heavily interested in Auto Assembly and it's beautiful simplified language that opens so much problem solutions to my hobby.
However. I stumble upon a small flaw within auto assembly.
Over the past 3 years, I've been playing a game where it's environment does not require the use of trainers or "switches". The community calls this a "patcher" where we would turn our assembly edits on/off via .ini. The proxyfied DLL will do all the work required to patch over the assembly at game boot.
Therefore. Because I stumble upon this environment, I wish to keep pursuing to what I have been living for years. as much as I love to make these scripts and obtain the motivation to do so. The fact that I have to manually load my .CEAs everytime I boot the game is a Major Turnoff. I am not use to "trainers/switches" and I cannot get used to them since I feel great discomfort. I personally prefer my scripts to be automatically loaded, especially if I will start making around >10 of these scripts.
...but Cheat Engine does not have this ability...at least to the best of my knowledge...
It frustrates me. A lot.
I see that cheat engine has the ability to save as .EXE, but not .DLL But even then, what's worst is that in order to even use the scripts. I have to use a "hot key" to activate the script first. Which is lame. If I want to use the .exe, I want to make sure that .exe will automaticly load my scripts instead of pressing CTRL+SHIFT+1 to activate 1 out of 5 scripts. I was actually thinking of Reverse Engineering my .exes to do that. But loading a .exe manually might as well be the same behavior as loading my .cea scripts manually.
It's getting late. I can only pray that Dark Byte will respond to this message and hope that he will give me a definite answer for my solution, if not then other solutions related to it. I fucking love Auto Assembly's beautiful simplified coding language but I cannot withstand it's non ability to automatically load itself at game boot.

you don't have to use hotkeys to activate the patches. You can use lua which will automatically activate the cheat entries that do the patches after the process has been opened

When you say that. Do you mean that I still have to use the button with the blue monitor on the main cheat engine window in order for the .lua to activate?
Because that's still kinda manual to me.
//EDIT: Ugh. I still can't use URLs

you can use the auto attach feature of ce(which can be configured using lua as well)

I see. I guess it's time to learn LUA then, such a shame tho since CE's AA Language is beautiful.
So I know that Cheat Engine automaticly translates my AA Script into .lua

But the question is. Where can I go find the generated lua script so I can modify the way the .exe loads?
Also another thing. Certainly I have the Auto Assembly Script on the Cheat Table (Checked on the Checkmark box) and CE auto attach the game's .exe program.
CE was able to successfully attach the .exe but was unable to automaticly launch the AA script on the cheat table. I would have to unmark it and remark the check to make it work. Which is a turn off.

@DarkStep29: Is your game's exe packed or encrypted? Because if the bytes you modify are present as is in the .exe file, you can simply apply your AA script on the file (use file->open file). Just remember that:
-you cannot use the alloc command over a file (use the free trailing bytes at the end of the code section instead). There is a lot more padding zeroes at the end of the code in a running process than in the file, but you can still find a few hundred bytes there. If your script needs its own variables, you can either place them at the end of the section that holds the game's static variables (there are padding bytes there too), or make the code section writable (one byte to change in the PE header).
-all locations must be aobscan-relative.
Side note: CE saves the file as soon as the script is activated, so don't look for a "save modified file" button.

The game's EXE is packed with Themida, it takes only 2 seconds for it to be unpacked in memory upon execution

register for an an auto attach, and in funtion onOpenProcess() start a 2-3 second timer that when triggered will go through the addresslist and activate the entries

Did some basic research on that, and tried to make the .lua script myself. But I stumbled upon a problem when I try to execute it

declare onOpenProcess as a function, not ()
instead of openProcess, use the autoAttach mechanism (else you have to run it after starting the game, but do delay it a bit in case it opens before it's extractedl
also, i recommend keeping your lua script simple and stay with what you're used with.
so keep the patches in aa scripts in the table and just let the lua script walk through the table and set Active to true

How would I do that?
I got the whole LUA gotten down and the script work but how do I make the lua auto load when cheat engine attaches the program?
Here's my script right now

It's already saved in a .CT format.

| Code: |
function delayedActivation(t)
al=getAddressList()
for i=0, al.Count-1 do
al[i].Active=true
if (al[i].Active==false) then
print("Failure activating entry "..i)
--return
end
end
t.enabled=false
end
function onOpenProcess()
print("Opened a process")
t=createTimer(nil)
t.Interval=3000 --3 seconds
t.OnTimer=delayedActivation
t.Enabled=true
end
getAutoAttachList().add("game.exe")
|
you can this to the end of the script to make the .ct launch the game for you.
| Code: |
shellExecute([[pathtogame.exe]])
|
tip: If you have normally installed CE, and rename the .ct to .cetrainer you can doubleclick it and the script will run automatically
