Hi this is the only place I know where to ask if I broke the rules guide me where else I can ask about it
I wanted to get the text out of the lua game and I tried looking myself by using hex, array of bytes in UTF-8 and also using a CE (My CE's version is 6.7) plugin Hook Any Text but every time I did so it always search for a new memory address for each text line
Can somebody help me get the text out of this game at the same time as it appears on the screen, I have no idea how to do that... any help much appreciated

This is a general game made with the LOVE engine. It's self-contained meaning they pack the resources into a zip file and append it to the exe.
You can extract the assets, including all the Lua scripts, by pulling the zip from the exe.
Quick steps to do that with this file:
- 1. Download a hex editor.
- 2. Open the TEST.exe file in the hex editor.
- 3. Go to offset: 0xD800 (hex) (You should see the letters 'PK' here in the data.)
- 4. Copy everything from 0xD800 to the end of the file.
- 5. Create a new file in the hex editor and paste what you just copied.
- 6. Save the new file as test.zip
At that point you should have a valid .zip file with all the games assets. All the Lua scripts are non-compiled for this game so you can just open them in a text editor to view them. _________________

This is great but... what do I have do with "dialog.lua" it cannot be displayed at the same time as I play... this doesn't answer my question
