I want to use TCP functions, which does not seem possible with getInternet().

Check LuaSockets info page here:
http://w3.impa.br/~diego/software/luasocket/introduction.html

It includes info on how to use the other aspects of it.

Yes that's exactly where I look.
But my problem appears in the first line :

Any updates to this? I am trying to make a p2p server using the Luasocker UDP function.

compile luasocket with the lua 5.3 sourcecode in the ce git repository (or at least the .lib files)

Thanks for the reply, DB. Before I continue, I must apologize if my compiling methods listed here are unorthodox, but here I go:
I tried your advice by compiling the luasockets dll with CE's Lua53 library. However, it still returns an error same way as the old version.

Error:error loading module 'socket.core' from file 'C:\Program Files\Cheat Engine 7.0\clibs64\socket\core.dll':
The specified module could not be found.

Since this is my first time messing around with all these compilations, my knowledge is limited and I probably made a lot of mistakes along the way. Let me know if I did anything wrong with these steps:

1. Compiled .dll and .lib files using the Lua53 src and include files from git repo. However I had problems with lua.c and wmain.c files while compiling (unresolved external symbol _main), so I removed them.

2. Linked the luasocket project downloaded from github with the self made CE dll and the lib files from step 1, and compiled the dll.

3. Moved mime and socket dll into cslib64 folders and ran the "require socket" script, got the error.

I am using VS2019.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time

are you compiling for the proper cpu architecture? (e.g 64 bit x86)
The lua searchpaths are set correct? (LUA_PATH and LUA_CPATH)

Thanks for the quick reply, DB.

I compiled it in x64 release for both the CE Lua53 dll and the Luasocket core dll.

As for the LUA_PATH and LUA_CPATH, I just left it at default while compiling. The path I got from using this command is listed below:
print(package.path..'\n\n'..package.cpath)

;C:\Program Files\Cheat Engine 7.0\lua\?.lua;C:\Program Files\Cheat Engine 7.0\lua\?\init.lua;C:\Program Files\Cheat Engine 7.0\?.lua;C:\Program Files\Cheat Engine 7.0\?\init.lua;C:\Program Files\Cheat Engine 7.0\..\share\lua\5.3\?.lua;C:\Program Files\Cheat Engine 7.0\..\share\lua\5.3\?\init.lua;.\?.lua;.\?\init.lua;C:\Program Files (x86)\Lua\5.1\lua\?.luac;?.lua;C:\Users\username\Documents\My Cheat Tables\?.lua

C:\Program Files\Cheat Engine 7.0\?.dll;C:\Program Files\Cheat Engine 7.0\..\lib\lua\5.3\?.dll;C:\Program Files\Cheat Engine 7.0\loadall.dll;.\?.dllC:\Program Files\Cheat Engine 7.0\?53.dll;.\?53.dll;C:\Program Files\Cheat Engine 7.0\clibs64\?.dll;.\clibs64\?.dll

The core.dll is placed in clibs64, which is present in the cpath.

I would like to apologize if I misunderstood the path/cpath question

I think I managed to compile lua 5.3.
But I can not compile luasocket. I got an error C1083 'lua.h' : No such file or directory.
I think this is related to the Lua.props file and the UserMacros part of it. Which files should I put to which path ?

Make sure you have the proper path to Lua setup for luasocket to find Lua 5.3's code/headers properly. Getting 'lua.h' not found means that it cannot find the Lua src to reference while compiling. Depending on the compiler you use, this is done usually as an include file reference path.[/quote]

I am using VS2019, and I linked the luasocket source code with the LUA53 header files by following the steps in this video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TALXtup2CjI
The LUA53 dll and libs are the files that I had compiled from the LUA53 source code that was found inside CE's git repo.
But the dll I compiled is not working, so I hope someone could correct me on my compiling methods.

Thanks for your time.

I finally managed to compile luasocket. But it does not work.

I have the same error as descatal. I noticed that my .ddl are much smaller than those compiling for the previous version on the previous page.
I keep digging Confused
