Hi,
I'm trying to write a simple lua script (which I cannot do so) to be able to save my table settings.

My table looks like this:

I don't understand exactly what you want or what you are trying to change.

You can use the code below and evaluate what you need.

Don't forget to add a few things to the address list.
All registration, upload and exchange were associated with the address list.

Hi, thank you for the reply. I'll try to explain it carefully. I figured it was quiet simple, but maybe I'm wrong...

I have a table that I added a lot of drop down list items (71 to be exact) to select from. If I select my drop down list and put the item that I want on each line (71 of them) and then close my game / table it will all reset to 0:Empty instead of saving what I selected on each one.

Is there a way to save my drop down list selection so that I don't have to input them each time I play the game?

I read that you could do so in menu.lua, however I cannot figure the coding out. Most of what I find is all about trainers and not tables. Can I do this in the menu.lua or if not, how do I do this if it's possible?

Here is some of what I have in the drop down menu to select from to give you and idea:
0:Empty
1:Coins
2:Bones
3:Iron Ore
4:Metal Flint
5:Dwarven Stone
6:Ancient Tablet
7:Wood
8:Inscribed Rupture Quartz
9:Cloth
10:Plank
11:Iron Ingot
12:Fiber

First of all thank you for all your effort and time, I really do appreciate it!

I've used your lua codes, however I don't quiet understand them fully. I get the pop up window, but it only has 3 slots to put stuff. Is this for each address that I highlight? It's it only 3 materials select out of the 71 total?

Oh and can I add the other 68 materials to the list as well? Do I put " or ' because I noticed that you have both?

[AylinCE]

Since I wasn't sure what you wanted, I gave examples so you can pick what works for you.

I have to ask a few questions;

1) In my last code I used 3 ComboBoxes containing your entire list (The list you last gave.)
You want this in 71 pieces instead of 3?

2) You never mentioned the address list.
a) Do you record the address activation in the table, whether it is empty or full, and want it to be the same on reloading?
b) How does your dropdown list or ComboBox have to do with the address list?
c) I won't ask about the "[..] IDs" how you managed to write string/text to a 4 byte registered address.
Are "[..] IDs" required in your list? Or are you just using subregisters in the game?

3) Does the ComboBox in the table in the second picture in your first post have 71 items?

4) Do you want to add a new entry to your drop-down list or delete the existing entry and save the last list?

5) If there is a code similar to the question you asked in the code examples I gave, how would you use it or is it possible to copy and share which part it is?

[Enferno33]

They're 71 different materials that I have addresses (pointers) for in the drop down list. I only listed a few to give you an idea of what I was doing. Can I post screenshots here or send them to you?

I'm very limited on knowledge when it comes to this as I am just now learning.. So, I didn't actually make / write or whatever needs to be done with the drop down menu, I copied it from another table and somehow it worked and I don't see any script(s) or lua coding anywhere... makes no sense to me, but it does in fact work.

Let me post some of it to you and you see.... I right mouse clicked on the table and opened in notepad++...

This said I wasn't able to post url's / screenshots or talk about such things on here yet but if somehow I can get them to you or the table itself I will, to give you a better outlook if this doesn't make sense.

Again, I posted on several forums and you're the only one to write me back and I am VERY much appreciated of your time and effort!

[AylinCE]

Ok. Thanks for your kindness.
CEF leaves no logical question unanswered or unresolved.

CE has a menu option like this; Save the table (table with .CT extension) and continue to use the saved address pointers when you open it again.

Your drop-down list contains only material names, no addresses, pointers, or new values for replacement.
What is the benefit of a list with only material names in this case?

Let's throw away the code examples I gave, what exactly do you want to save and restore?

1) I want to save and load the current address list addresses and pointers.

2) I want to transfer the addresses and pointers from the address list to the drop-down list.

3) When I select the process of my game in CE, I want my table or table to be automatically added (loaded) to the address list or drop-down list.

4) I want to edit the material names in my drop-down list and save and load the final layout.

5) All of them.

7) None.

I want to do it step by step like this. I open my table...

[Enferno33]

Oh wow!

Ok, so I have the pointers to everything and saved. Those work.

One thing that I should mention about this game. It has a set of addresses, 1-71 (what I use to get the materials) and it works like this: Whichever material that you loot next is what gets the next address. Meaning that if I loot "Coins" first it gets assigned to the first address. If I look "Wood" first it gets signed to the first address and so on... If you create a new character then there is no way to predict which material you'll loot next... It could be different each character if that makes sense. If each material had it's own address this wouldn't be an issue, but that is why I needed the drop down menu with each material on each address.

1) I want to save and load the current address list addresses and pointers. <--- I figured this out already and have pointers saved.

2) I want to transfer the addresses and pointers from the address list to the drop-down list. <-- Not quiet sure how this would work being that I have 2 addresses. One for the name and One for the address.

3) When I select the process of my game in CE, I want my table or table to be automatically added (loaded) to the address list or drop-down list. <--- I *THINK* this is what I'm looking for here. When I select the process to start the game for the day, I want it to automatically load the drop down list that I save, if that is possible.

4) I want to edit the material names in my drop-down list and save and load the final layout. <--- I created the drop down menu names and already know this part.

I think all I need is number 3, please -- To save my drop down list and reload it each time.

Don't despair because I'm late.
I'm just not at home and can use the time I have left from work.

I will offer you two separate codes, use the one that works for you.
(I think the second code will be more attractive because if your CE-Lua knowledge is weak, you may have difficulty in editing it to your liking.
If you're not satisfied with the current state, my next code will be a little more global.
Namely; Transfer all the addresses in the address list to a form list, write the current value next to it (Label), create a box to write the new value (EditBox), and leave a button at the end to replace it with the new value.
If there is a wish, let this be my next project.)

Code 1:
You can leave the following code in a file with the ".lua" extension in the CE-->autorun folder, and when you select the game process, you can open and use the table with the .CT extension.

[Enferno33]

Thank you very much for this!! No worries about the being late part, I understand you have a life and cannot be here 24/7 I'm going to try to learn this for myself.

I have a few questions regarding both codes...

1) On the top table can I change the "C:\My Cheat Tables\yourCheatTableName.CT" to another location? Also do I put a .ct cheat table in here or a .lua or .txt? When I make it do I just put the drop down list or the entire .ct cheat table?

2) On the top table would it be like this? ("ProjectAlpha-Win64-Shipping.exe"+06A0A988) -- and do I put anything in "count" on this one? collectgarbage("count")

3) On the bottom code you have the first six with ' and the rest with " > which would I use (example a) or b)) to add the rest?
a) 'Plank', 'Iron Ingot', etc
or
b) "Fire Shards", "Goblet Scraps", etc

[AylinCE]

1) Take the path of wherever you saved your .CT table and change it in the code.
Right click on your registered .CT, select "Properties", you can get the full path in the "General" tab from the menu.
Replace the path I gave as an example in the code with it.

2) ("ProjectAlpha-Win64-Shipping.exe") this should be it.
Take whatever full name appears when you select the game process in CE and add it.
"+06A0A988" I think this is the memory you are working with in the code after the process is selected.
(The same name.exe is valid in both codes)

3) I don't understand this.
Your entire list in code,
setfrmTbl1 = {'Empty','Coins','etc.','etc.'}
list into this table.

For the second code:
Copy the code, open the current page containing the addresses, open a new tab from the lua script cheat table menu and paste the code.
Edit code: Add your entire list to the table.
Replace notepad.exe with game process.
Now run the code.
To connect the DT to the game, select your game from the process list.
You probably won't reply "yes" to the warning and have your address list deleted.
Click the "Save" button on the opened form and then click the "Load" button.

If everything went well, you will see the code on first use and know what it does.
If that's what you want, copy the last edit, put it in a .lua file, and drop it into the CE autorun folder.

[Enferno33]

Thanks again!!

The first code keeps opening a new CE.exe with the table over and over every time I select the process. I'm not even sure why this would be necessary? ..

The second code opens up a window when I launch the process. When I click save it puts addresses up with I'm assuming the offsets? .. I'm guessing that whatever line I choose to type which material will save this and then when I click load it will load the last list that I selected?

Either way, I think the second one will work if it works like this. I will play around with it more and see if it works like this.

Again, thank you very much for all of your time and effort, this is way more than I could have ever asked for and I am very grateful!!
