Cheat Engine

Mike Scott · Posted: Sun Jan 23, 2011 3:33 pm Post subject: Hi. . . another question?

I can hack games and whatnot with CE pretty well, imo at least.

But I can't get others to. They want to hack them, but they can't or won't use cheat engine. Is there some way to put the hacks into a .dll or an .exe to give them to others?

If so, could someone link me to a tut?

Thanks in advance guys Smile

They think CheatEngine is a virus or what?

But, for specific games you can create a .dll which needs to be injected, or create a trainer which is just an .exe for a game.

But I would really recommend them to use Cheat Engine instead.

You'd need a bit more than a tut to do anything but a CE trainer.

You'd need experience in programming and how memory hacking works, in order to create a .dll trainer.

Creating a CE trainer is pretty self explanatory. Search for a tut.

yeah, i've read a bunch of trainer tuts. But I DL'd the newest version of ce, so no trainer maker Sad

I downloaded game trainer studio, but I can't seem to find any tuts on it.

When You are starting to write AA scripts, other trainer makers will not support the special functions of the Cheat Engine AA scripts. Like aobscan and other extra stuff.
So if You stick to using a trainer maker, then You have to use the CE trainer maker or just don't use any advanced feature for scripting which will make Your work much, much harder.

alrighty. I've downloaded the older version of CE and now have trainer maker! yay?

Anyways, i'm making one for mahjong titans and i'll post it soon, yaaay.

EDIT: I made my first trainer. It's for mahjong titans. But it doesn't do anything. . .

When you hit launch, go to program files, microsoft games, mahjong, Mahjong.exe, then it comes up with the game and all. . . but it does nothing. . . someone help?

I tried to attach it, but the extension exe is not allowed...and I can't post urls

You don't need to use the Launch button.
Just start the game and the trainer in any order.
The trainer will find the game if You have filled out the "Process" correctly, when You have created the trainer.

If You have used static addresses or pointers, they may not work in every cases so that could be another reason. The best way is to use code injection in most cases.

oh, I see. . . I can't program, so code injection is a bit out of question.

It isn't hard with CE. If You can beat Step 7 in the CE tutorial, You just need to know a few commands.

You can find some help for it here:

Usually code injection is an easier method than finding a good pointer. So if You know pointers already, this may work as well for You.

pointers are a trouble point for me for some reason. I followed the CE tut, and several on forum tuts. And i've gotten one pointer :/

I'll look at the link, thanks Smile

darkjohn20 posted a great concise tut on using Visual C# to build trainers.
http://forum.cheatengine.org/viewtopic.php?t=530207

Using the base code he posted I fully made a trainer for the CE Tutorial, well nearly. I've gotten it up to Step 7 so far, have made it change the machine instructions, now just working on the jumps. It's a very nice wrapper though.

The source he includes in this tut is easily copied. You could create trainers in C# with little programming experience. It won't be as sure fire as using the Trainer Builder in CE, but you can sure make it look good. Plus I'm sure if you have questions you could ask in the programming section.

thanks mate, i'll look at it too.

@Geri
I followed your vid tut for pointers. I found out what i was doing wrong, and now I can do them fine Very Happy

thanks again!

lol, in my mind, if it works, then it's a good trainer.

I've been working on my trainer, but it's really difficult. I keep entering in my addresses, adding the buttons and hotkeys, then it doesn't work.

The whole, changing addresses thing is starting to piss me off.
