 |
|
| There is no other way to run CE 6.6 cheat table / trainer by using CE 6.4, except by editing the script cheat table ?

You could also alter CE to prevent it from not loading newer tables. Try and locate within Cheat Engine the following check:
| Code: | | https://github.com/cheat-engine/cheat-engine/blob/master/Cheat%20Engine/OpenSave.pas#L375 |
Adjust the check to allow older files. Just keep in mind newer features in cheat tables will land up causing issues or crashes.

| You can alter the table or CE itself. Whether you do that manually or automatically with a script/patch is up to you. If you're the one creating the trainer, you can generate using the 'gigantic' option.

Thanks atom0s and ++METHOS,
the link bring to view and get 'OpenSave.pas', as part of cheat engine source script. But I don't plan to make my own version of cheat engine, beside I don't know about Lazarus / free pascal scripting. I've checked in main.lua and only found "getCurrentCEversion".
My question as in topic, because when i made a CE Trainer and share to some friends, some of them have complain in case they can't run the trainer with older CE version (lower than CE 6.6).
But the way, I've tried to save my cheat table (by CE 6.6) as gigantic stand alone exe file, uninstall CE 6.6, install CE 6.4 and run the exe trainer, it work with no issue.
So, this is my solution for now, anyhow may I suggest to DB to adding "Allow old CE version" in CE Setting for next CE update.
Regards...

The problem with that is new features might cause issues or crashes.
There is also no reason to keep using older CE versions, the upgrade is free.

The link I gave was not with the intention of you making your own version of CE. It was showing you the code that is handling the check for version differences and what to look for while debugging to bypass the check.

Here is a table for both x86 and x64 versions of CE. This was tested on CE 6.2. Anyway, if you decide to make a patch, this should get you started. I have not thoroughly tested this and it really is not a good way to patch this, but it's a quick job. It may not work across other versions.

I got the point and thank to make me clearly understood which part of the script that handling CE version.
I guess most cases that given errors while executing cheat table made use CE version lower than 6.6 because different lua syntax 5.1 vs 5.3 and to fix the errors, need to writing syntax properly as how use in lua 5.3.
++METHOS, thank for file, i will try it later. Because I am not installing other CE version except version 6.6 on my machine right now. I am use CE 6.6 custom build 16.10.31 by mgr.
Regards

| Yes, real problems mostly arise when dealing with tables that have LUA in them, due to version differences. You can bypass this check to be able to keep the table open, but as previously stated, you run the risk of additional errors/crashing.

The most common problem is: people were using some old things.
Old even for Lua5.1. For example table.setn, table.getn and gfind ( https://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#7.2 )
The most common problem for me was:
| Quote: | The main difference between Lua 5.2 and Lua 5.3 is the introduction of an integer subtype for numbers. Although this change should not affect "normal" computations, some computations (mainly those that involve some kind of overflow) can give different results.
The conversion of a float to a string now adds a .0 suffix to the result if it looks like an integer. (For instance, the float 2.0 will be printed as 2.0, not as 2.) You should always use an explicit format when you need a specific format for numbers.
(Formally this is not an incompatibility, because Lua does not specify how numbers are formatted as strings, but some programs assumed a specific format.) |

Right, mgr.
So, sometime we need to change global name space to adaptation lua command, example :
| Code: | gfind = string.gmatch
s = "hello world from Lua"
for w in gfind(s, "%a+") do
print(w)
end
-- [[
hello
world
from
Lua
]]
local t={}
for matchedValue in gfind("alphabet and numbers 1234-4321", "a") do -- Search for a in that string
table.insert(t, matchedValue)
end
print("The letter a was found " .. #t.." times.")
-- The letter a was found 3 times. |
from samples above, we able to apply for lua script written use lua 5.1 / 5,2, I mean rather than having to replace one by one each of "lua command" that is incompatible with latest version of lua, more effective and are very helpful especially for long lua script. Right ?

CE 6.5.1 and CE6.6 has already many backward compatibility fixes:
Link:
| Code: | //5.2 backward compatibility:
s.add('math.log10=function(v) return math.log(v,10) end');
s.add('loadstring=load');
s.add('unpack=table.unpack');
s.add('package.loaders=package.searchers');
//5.3 backward compatibility:
s.add('math.pow=function(x,y) return x^y end');
s.add('math.atan2=math.atan');
s.add('math.ldexp=function(x,exp) return x * 2.0^exp end');
s.add('math.mod=math.fmod');
s.add('string.gfind=string.gmatch');
(...)
lua_getglobal(luavm, 'math');
i:=lua_gettop(luavm);
lua_pushstring(luavm, 'frexp');
lua_pushcfunction(luavm, lua_frexp);
lua_settable(luavm,i);
lua_pushstring(luavm, 'cosh');
lua_pushcfunction(luavm, lua_cosh);
lua_settable(luavm,i);
lua_pushstring(luavm, 'sinh');
lua_pushcfunction(luavm, lua_sinh);
lua_settable(luavm,i);
lua_pushstring(luavm, 'tanh');
lua_pushcfunction(luavm, lua_tanh);
lua_settable(luavm,i);
|
Almost all of them were added two years ago. string.gfind=string.gmatch 11 months ago.
math.mod=math.fmod 14 days ago. So, official CE6.6 doesn't have this one. Only newest custom builds.

just add this to your autorun folder in 6.6
| Code: |
string.gfind=string.gmatch
math.mod=math.fmod
