Cheat engine?

[Ainsley Harriot]

So after playing ffx again after so many years I totally forgot about the trauma's it gave me. You know what I am talking about. The chocobo race, the butterfly mini "game" and the mind killing lightning dodges. So I heard some things about cheat engine helping you not to lose your mind. So I was wondering, is this legal? Can using cheat engine get you banned? And if not, please, please help me out here, where can I find the things for cheat engine. My mother has the mental institution on the phone right now because im down to a gibberish speaking pile of ♥♥♥♥ right now, doing nothing else then crying in a corner with the chocobo song in my head after trying to get the 0.0.0 score for 5 hours straight. I do not know how I ever managed to get this done on the ps 2. And please do not come with the "git gud" ♥♥♥♥.

Why? Because writing a script is more fun than this tedious challenge. Plus I did it twice on PS2 and PS3, and I'm NOT doing it again.

The script - AutoIt - :

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; Script Start ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

#include <Misc.au3>

Global $on = 0
Global $pix1

While 1

If _IsPressed("21") Then $on = 1 ; Page Up
If _IsPressed("22") Then $on = 0 ; Page Down


If $on = 1 Then

$pix1 = PixelGetColor(680, 380)

If $pix1 > 0xCD0000 Then

Beep(200, 100)
Opt("SendKeyDownDelay", 50)
Send("{C}")

EndIf
EndIf

If _IsPressed("24") Then ExitLoop ; Home

WEnd

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; Script End ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;



Or for the lazy, an already compiled version:

How to use it:

1- Run FFX and go to the Thunder Plains.

2 - Extract and run the exe. The script has no GUI, just some Hotkeys:

Page Up = Enable the script, the script starts disabled.
Page Down = Disable the script, only enable the script in game, diable it otherwise.
Home = Terminates the script.

3- Go to the game, and enable the script by hitting Page Up, USE THE KEYBOARD TO MOVE. Using the pad will NOT work.

4- Run around or find a place where Tidus jump in place infinitely, a beep will sound with every strike to tell you that the script is running and enabled.

5- Done, don't forget to hit HOME to close the script after you are done, and do not Alt-Tab the game without disabling the script.

This comes with no guarantees Blah Blah Blah, you can reach 199 then the thunder will strike you in real life Yada Yada Yada.

This worked for me in every part I tested it in, if it does not work for you in any part of the map you tried, then change the PixelGetColor coordinates to the middle pixel of your screen, or change the color 0xCD0000 if you have different brightness not suited to this value.

You can run that script or you can just simply edit your dodge number in cheat engine to 200 walk to the inn and grab your stuff. Note that if you edit your dodges right to 200 you will only get the sigil, but thats all you should want anyway.

anyone got a link to the cheat engine table for the dodges?

why dodge 200 lighting bolts in a row or try to finish the chocobo race with 0 seconds when you can just skip all the work and jump straight to the reward

Thats sounds nice Ryouma17, I looked at it and download CE, but how does it work excactly? I tried opening ffx while it runs, clicked the items I wanted but nothing happened

But do they count as being gotten? Because the way they work, if you just cheat them in, it doesn't trigger the flag that you really got them and they're useless. Same with the Al Bhed Primers.

the prize for cheating is you dont get the archivments

[Kaldaien]

Banned from what, lol?

You bought the game, they don't care what you do with it after that as long as it's not violating any copyrights.

Read the tutorial for using CheatEngine

Thats your first step

[chrcoluk]

I dont want a CE table to add the items thats lame, I want CE table to do one of 2 things.

Either dont reset the dodges to 0 on a failed dodge.
Or make it so you can set the dodges manually.

Hopefully someone makes a mod so this still needs work from the player but also makes it much more reasonable e.g. allow 10 failed doges before reset or reduce dodges needed by 90% or something.

[orthostatic]

OP: Given their lackluster attention to customer service, the perceived statistics suggest that you can run CE without much to worry about, apart from possible malware. These are single-player games, so they'd probably turn a blind eye unless other players felt compelled to report you for doing it in multiplayer environments.

It is trivial to detect memory access vectors such as ArtMoney or CheatEngine, and it's equally plausible that such detection would only be actionable if you were ever reported by another player, at least for single-player games like FFX. In other words, you won't know if they caught you until it becomes actionable, so bear that in mind if you ever get tempted to run those apps in multiplayer environments, as that might obviate warnings and lead to immediate ban-hammer.

Personally, I'm more worried about the CE installer requiring administrative privileges to install when it can run portably. The author's stance on "trusting downloadable executables" is laughably removed from reality, and seems like an attempt to convince people that his unsafe download is actually safe.

How run the .exe??? I keep getting a .rar file and there is no option to extract or run or anything.

A .rar file is a compressed file similar to a zip file. Use a program like WinRar or similar to open/uncompress.

[Kaldaien]

Just a proprietary format that doesn't perform well. I cannot for the life of me understand why .rar is even used in modern times. It should be as obscure as .ace is and anyone wanting better compression than .zip offers should just use lzma (.7z).

you only get banned if you try to use Cheat Engine on the ONLINE games..... anything not online you are fine to use.....
