Heroes and castles 2 hack code#

What will happen next is we'll use arrays of bytes (signatures) from these Lua APIs to find them in our binary (RelicCardinal.exe)ДЇigured why not. The game was most likely compiled with MSVC2017/2019, so maybe we're lucky. So all we need to find now is a 5.3 build of Lua somewhere on the net, preferably with debug symbols. Looked through the string references aaaaand:

If you take a look inside the game folder you will see there's no 'luaX.X.dll' (e.g.: lua5.1.dll) there, so this means whatever's used from Lua is part of the game's code (was compiled as part of the code = inlined). The version doesn't need to be matched 1:1, but you need to have good skills at spotting where exactly are these Lua APIs inlined in the game code. several Lua APIs that help with string/script execution (hence why we need to know the first bullet)ДЄfter those are determined, you can google up 'lua binaries download' and find the ones matching your version.In order to run commands inside game's Lua Engine we want to find several requisites: Peachy, eh? So while fuckers are battling over who's got the bigger e-penor or insinuating others stole from them, I do this practical crap. And with this viewer in hand I've opened up Data.sga to see this:

So it turns out the for Company of Heroes 3 also works for this title. Then I googled 'zenhax age of empires 4' and found this. Then I opened up that 'sga' file in a hex editor and saw this: And checking through the folder hierarchy, I found this: Pretty much like in this topic: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=17693.Д«ack to that 'data:dev/a' -> looking at that word 'data' I deducted that it should be inside some data file. We can also dump a list of all internal commands. the game is using Lua Which means that, pretty much like in Watch Dogs or Far Cry, we can hook it and execute our own Lua commands. I then wanted to see if there's any common words like 'cheat', 'god', etc. Then I opened up the executable in ењ†4dbg and searched for all string references. As many of you know, they're also the ones who've created Company of Heroes (1, 2, 3). Then I noticed the developer: Relic Entertainment. A more in-depth search shows version 5.0 (wiki). I didn't even look at the developer name. Was curious to know which Engine this game was built with. Without any further ado, listing what this topic covers and the knowledge behind it. What you can run with this UDF is shown in the next post.

will close the UDF window and deactivate 'Toggle Console UDF' script.

it doesn't work like a 'return result' log-type of window (just prints a copy of your input).

purple memo box is used to display what you've executed.

I recommend writing the script in Notepad++, copy-pasting it here, then Shift+Enter.

you can scroll it though horizontally and vertically.

no, you can't enlarge the memo box to your desired sizes.

Shift+Enter key combination will execute what you've typed.

you can use Enter to move to next line and type some more.

white input memo box at the bottom is used to type in text:.

Then activate Toggle Console UDF script and this window will show up:

Open Cheat Engine 7.1+, target the game (File > Open Process > Processes tab > RelicCardinal.exe) and open/load the table you've just downloaded.
