Dune: Spice Wars +11 (Cheat Engine Table)

[KUDr]

Got a chance to try Dune: Spice Wars and here is the result (should work on future game versions until devs make some brutal changes into code):

How to use it?
- Open the table in CE, open the game process and select cheats you want to use (you will see a lot of logs as the code is dynamically generated from your game's metadata), enjoy

• ent.Faction:getCachedResNetProd (add static resources, i.e. water)
  • You can set what resources you want to add (open _plus to see options) or populate all (_plus -> Initialize values), or just use the default values that are populated automatically when the cheat is activated.
• ent.Faction:addRawResource (add collectable resources over time)
• ent.Refinery:getHarvestRate (you must have some refineries)
• ent.Entity:hurtBy (God mode, Disadvantage of AIs against free villages)
• ent.Unit:getSpeedModifier (faster units)
• ent.Unit:isWormTarget (your units are not targeted by worms)
• ent.Army:addSupply (your armies will never run out of supplies)
• ent.Structure:updateRecruitment (faster recruitments of units except militia)
• logic.Upgrades:update (fast building construction)
• ent.Structure:addReconProgress (faster recon of ?)
• ent.HegemonyData:setProd (Hegemony +10000)

Those weird names for cheat entries are names of class:method (basically function) where the cheat was implemented.

Note:
This table does not use any static addresses or AOB scans. It simply locates the game metadata (types, fields, methods) and uses them to generate the code (C header files) so that the cheat code (regular C files) should always work with whatever game version you have.

Therefore when you will request update(s), please specify table version, game version, which option does not work and what are the symptoms (incl. the logs from the Lua Engine window).

How to use this cheat table?

1. Install Cheat Engine
2. Double-click the .CT file in order to open it.
3. Click the PC icon in Cheat Engine in order to select the game process.
4. Keep the list.
5. Activate the trainer options by checking boxes or setting values from 0 to 1

Version history:

D4X.03.001.R.CT (2022-06-27)
- fixed "update" method not found in class "logic.Upgrades" reported by @russel5

D4X.00.051.R.CT (2022-06-14)
- fixed "ERROR types not found" reported by @dental

D4X.00.047.R.CT (2022-06-12)
- added new cheat: ent.HegemonyData:setProd (Hegemony +10000)

D4X.00.043.R.CT (2022-06-10)
- changed the type of value fields under ent.Faction:getCachedResNetProd -> _plus from 2 bytes to 4 bytes to allow for larger values (i.e. ultra fast research), and the values are automatically initialized upon activation of the cheat

D4X.00.042.R.CT (2022-06-10): First prototype (10 options)

[russel5]

Thanks for this table, seems all works on latest version.
One request. Can you add fast research abilities. Thanks again.

[KUDr]

@russel5: thanks for your reply. It works also on 2 versions before the current one. And should work many versions after.
Regarding your request:
activate option 1: "ent.Faction:getCachedResNetProd (add static resources, i.e. water)"
- open "_plus" below it
- search for "09 - Knowledge" and set it to 1000 or even more
This should modify your knowledge production which should influence the speed of research.
Please let me know if it worked for you.

[KUDr]

There is now a new version (D4X.00.043.R.CT) that has changed the type of value fields under:
ent.Faction:getCachedResNetProd -> _plus
from 2 bytes to 4 bytes
and automatically initializes values that have some meaningful impact on the game, because some values seem to only add "+###" to the resource stats, but have no real impact on actual values (i.e. don't actually add resources)

@russel5: The "09 - Knowledge" now automatically initializes itself to 100000 which makes research so fast that whole trees can be researched within a few seconds. To make it easier, you can set the game to not pause in menus. (ESC -> Options -> Gameplay -> Pause game in menus -> Off). Then Pause the game, Go to research, select 3 boxes, un-pause for a second or two and they are now researched. Continue so until everything is researched.

So yes, fast research is there.

This is awesome table. Thank you so much!

Yes, works perfect. Thank you.

Anyways to add hegemony? Btw, trainer is amazing, ty.

[KUDr]

Anyways to add hegemony? ...

Good question. I don't know.

When I played, I always had to switch off Hegemony as a winning condition, because I gained too much off it. I was usually over the last threshold (10k) within 5 minutes of gameplay. So I didn't think about cheating Hegemony.

My way of thinking was to make it easy to play, not to win passively. However, if you think it is good to have a way to cheat it, please explain me why and will do my best to add it (i.e. as a new option).

[KUDr]

New version: D4X.00.047.R.CT
- added new cheat: ent.HegemonyData:setProd (Hegemony +10000)
- - in the Hegemony details the new value can be seen as modified "Researched Developments" value (I had to choose one or it would modify several ones - so I took the "Researched Developments" because it works for any faction type)
- - the added value (10000) can be modified under "Settings" group.

@browdybrembo: please try it and let me know if it works (and please don't forget to tell me why would you need it)

Anyone else getting '??' for the Value to everything under "ent.Faction:getCachedResNetProd (add static resources, i.e. water)"?

I checked 'COMMON (Activate/Deactivates all cheats)." I also tried checking 'Initialize values" and I get this message in the Lua Engine window:

"MR (id=246) is now current"
"MR (id=246) is no longer current"

My troops still gets killed by dust storms. They sometimes are invincible against enemies but other times not. I'm not sure what's different that changes this state.

Anyway, I tried it on two versions of Dune with similar results:

0.1.20.15299
0.1.19.14734

Otherwise, this seems like the best Dune table so far.

- Update -

I see error messages in the Lua Engine window when I try to enable any of the cheats:

MR[id=050] is no longer current
MR[id=303] is now current

new mr (id = 304) instance created
MR[id=304] is now current

That's probably why it's not working but I don't know how to fix it.

[KUDr]

@dental: Hmm. MR (id=246) is Memory Record #246 "Initialize values" under "_plus" under "ent.Faction:getCachedResNetProd (add static resources, i.e. water)".
This MR is no longer needed as the values of resources added by "ent.Faction:getCachedResNetProd" are initialized automatically.
However, the values under "_plus" should never show ?? if the "ent.Faction:getCachedResNetProd" is active (checked).

EDIT: Ahh now I see it: ERROR: No types found
This is fatal problem. This means that the game metadata used for everything was not found by my code.

What version of windows do you have? I tested it only on my W10 and it may be related to memory management.

Can you please try to restart the game and also CE and then when still in main menu MANUALLY activate only those 11 records directly under COMMON (without activating COMMON itself)? Do you still see this error? If yes, click in the Lua Engine window text, press CTRL+A to select everything, copy (CTRL+C) and paste it (CTRL+V) into email to me. I will PM you the address.

[KUDr]

@dental: I can't send you PM with my email:
"Some users couldn’t be added as they have disabled private message receipt."

So try to send me PM with whole the log. Or post it somewhere and then post the link here.

[KUDr]

@dental: attached is a modified table file, where I widened criteria for metadata search. Could you please try it?

[dental]

I'm on Win10 21H1 (19043.1741). Cheat Engine 7.4.

It's the same outcome with the new table.

I don't want to flood this thread so here's the start of the ua log:

I think maybe there's a permission issue or something. Maybe it doesn't like it when I run using the built-in administrator account?

Enabling single options at the main game menu results in the same 'No types found' message.

I hope the partial log helps.

Here's the log part when enabling the single option at the end:
