DropDownListLink issue. I DisplayValueAsItem option doesn't transfer. II how to remove DropDownListLink from memory record? Looks like I have to manually remove it from CT/XML file. III other thing... Here are the steps: add memory record (description e.g. "dada" ) with this dropdown list: 1:a 2:b 3:c add another memory record with this dropdown list: 10:ten 11:eleven 12:twelve So far so good. Now change dropdown list so it is a DropDownListLink to "dada", then reopen dropdown window, you will see the old list and options. Also old options override new options from linked dropdown list from first memrec. There's are workarounds to third issue: you can highlight then cut and paste memrec, or save CT file and load it again. _________________ Dark Souls II Item Swap and Item List My Borderlands2 tables Recent CheatEngine builds

Some bugs I've noticed:

Open Cheat Table With Lua Script Causes UI Bug

Opening a table that contains a Lua script will cause the popup to happen to ask if you want to run the script. While this is open, the CE process button appears to jump between the top bar and the address list area as the colors change.

Editors Do Not Honor Tab Size
Editors such as the cheat tables Lua script editor do not honor the tab settings in the preferences. If set to the default 4 spaces per tab, pressing tab only inserts 2 spaces. Also if you tab multiple times, the results seem entirely random. Sometimes it will tab 2 or 4 spaces, other times it can tab over 100 spaces.

If you code a function such as:

Code:

function test()

end

Then place your cursor on the blank line between the function and end, press tab, it will tab about 10 spaces. The tabbing seems to be very inconsistent and very random rather than honoring the users settings.

Same issues happen while things are highlighted, or the cursor is placed in varying places such as before a word, mid word, etc.

Another bug I've noticed is when adding special auto-assembler scripts with Lua functions in them, Lua stuff is called incorrectly at the wrong times.

Here is a quick step by step to reproduce this bug:

- Create a new table.
- Create a new Lua script for the table.
- In the script, define something such as:

Code:

function TestFunction()
print('TestFunction was called.');
end

- In the address list, create a new auto-assembler script. (CTRL+ALT+A)
- In the auto-assembler script, enter:

Code:

[ENABLE]
{$LUA}
TestFunction()

[DISABLE]
{$LUA}
TestFunction()

- Assign the script to the cheat table.

At this point TestFunction will be called twice. Edit the script again, click OK. It will call the function twice again. Visually, this looks like the function will only be called when the script is toggled on and off. (Which does work in that way.) But, it is being called no matter what the context is or how the script is written. It will always call the function which is not ideal.

Added these bug reports to the Github issues.

the second one is not a bug, you need to add a

Code:

if syntaxcheck then return end

or some other code that makes the syntax check pass

this is because lua can be used to define addresses in the script, and if it's skipped the addresses would be undefined and thus fail the syntax check

I think focus is out of place in Open Process window. Now we have this 3 tabs: Applications, Processes, Windows. Good thing CE remembers which one was selected last. But focus is not remembered - one cannot start typing to filter to the right process. Instead one has to click in the list of processes first.

Did you miss this?
All I do is double-click the process I want - no typing/scrolling needed.

Yes, I missed that. Perhaps this is some kind of solution. Double-click is not that great because new processes tend to be on the bottom, so one has to scroll a bit. Filtering was ideal...

Hello, dark byte, would be glad to communicate with you about the question of ce6.7 language file, I see on the homepage of the Chinese language translation is not complete, I use ce6.7 six Po language files, word-for-word translation into Chinese, I hope you can adopt my language files, I always insist on ce each version of the translation of documents, hope the ce software is getting better and better!

Dunno. I see three processes most of the time so I don't need to scroll at all...

I found an odd bug. I am thinking it's LUA-related. So, install CE 6.7 and add customAOBInjectionTemplates.lua v1.3.1. Now, pick any line of code and use 'Csimbi's AOB'. First press enter, then enter random string. Now, check the generated code vs the instruction you highlighted. They don't match (I added to pics to illustrate the selected instructions vs. the ones generated by the LUA script). CE itself works fine, but not this particular template. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with LUA, but I can't figure it out. Must be a compatibility issue with the new LUA releases or something. Could someone have a look? When I enter this address manually: "DungeonSiege.exe"+1AC43E - replacing the default DungeonSiege.Rules::ChangeMana+2B5 offered by the script's prompt (before the first enter), then it works fine. Could it be an address translations issue somewhere? Thanks!

@Csimbi

Could you check something? Highlight instruction in memoryviewer, then execute below Lua script. Probably generateAOBInjectionScript sometimes doesn't like address string from getNameFromAddress.

Code:

selectedAddress = getNameFromAddress(getMemoryViewForm().DisassemblerView.SelectedAddress)
stringlist = createStringlist()
generateAOBInjectionScript(stringlist , 'theTest', selectedAddress)
print(stringlist.Text)
stringlist.destroy()

}

This is correct:

Code:

DungeonSiege.Rules::ChangeMana+2B5

Without symbols, it is:

Code:

DungeonSiege.exe+1AC43E - D9 86 80000000 - fld dword ptr [esi+00000080]

And not:

Code:

"DungeonSiege.exe"+7ED17: 44 - inc esp
"DungeonSiege.exe"+7ED18: 0F 95 C0 - setne al
"DungeonSiege.exe"+7ED1B: C3 - ret
