[Release] Trickster Hack

[MaXiMiUS]

Currently configured for: Trickster 2.22.5

What it does: Makes hacking Trickster stupidly easy. It launches Trickster, runs KiKi's UCE, automatically starts the game and attaches KiKi's to the correct process, and loads a .CT file from the UCE directory.

Full instructions on proper use are included, as well as source code. This *should* be completely n00b friendly, and it's extremely convenient even for those that DO know what they're doing. Try it out!

PS: Read the damn .TXT files, especially BEFORE RUNNING.TXT. Seriously. That's all I can say about that.

PPS: If you don't like scary error messages, DO NOT USE Fast Drill!

1.7c
- Updated OTHER.TXT and .CT file for Trickster 2.22.5. Also added
  one new cheat, the Drill Life Span Killer, which supposedly makes
  any terrain only use 1 durability from your drill, even if you're
  using the wrong type of drill.

1.7b
- Updated OTHER.TXT and .CT file for Trickster 2.21.3. All of the
  cheats should be working, but if any aren't.. let me know.

1.7a
- Minor bugfix to hotkey cheat activation, where Trickster Hack
  tended to get stuck waiting forever for a window to close, when
  the window never got it's request to close.
- Minor improvements to the hotkey system and font size detection.

1.7
- "Updated" OTHER.TXT and .CT file for Trickster 2.20.8,
  No actual changes were made, since nothing changed.
- Major changes to the ActivateUCE() function. Trickster is
  AMAZINGLY annoying in full-screen.
- Issues with non-existant cheats taking forever to be enabled
  should be fixed.  Also fixed a typographical error involving
  cheat descriptions for hotkeys ALT + F9, through F11.
- Added two new hotkeys! Check out HOTKEYS.TXT for details.
- Should now be able to handle Trickster being outdated, this
  is untested, though. I'm just going to assume that it works.
- Guaranteed to be some other undocumented changes..

1.6b
- Minor revision to add handling for other, non-Trickster
  active windows while attempting to activate the UCE.
- Minor revision to the Initalization process, UCE is now
  closed before the registry is updated.

1.6a
- Updated OTHER.TXT and .CT file for Trickster 2.20.5, ;-)

1.6
- Did some more testing, and fixed some bugs I found. There
  was one bug in particular I couldn't figure out how to fix:
  if your keyboard, for some odd reason, stops allowing you
  to type in Trickster, press CTRL+ALT+DEL -- this should fix
  your problem, at least temporarily. I currently don't know
  how to fix this issue, it seems to be a bug in AutoIt3.

1.5e
- Minor revisions that attempt to make the MouseClick()'s
  more accurate.

1.5d
- Streamlined how Trickster is launched, it now bypasses
  the regular Trickster Launcher. You'll have to keep the
  game updated yourself.
- Experimented with getting this to work on Vista. Doesn't
  look like it's going to work any time soon, sorry.
- Other miscellaneous tweaks ;-)

1.5c
- Several revisions to the font size code, and the hotkey
  system. It should now handle Extra Large Fonts and very
  low resoltions (such as 800*600) properly.
- Other miscellaneous revisions..

1.5b
- Added some more.. technical documentation.
- Added three more "slots" for hotkeys.
- Streamlined the Initalization process through the use
  of a .reg file, which bypasses the  "First Time User"
  tutorial the UCE tries to run.
- Added hotkey descriptions, which now display when you
  use a hotkey.
- Updated all of the available cheats, making sure they
  all work properly.

1.5a
- Added the option to disable built in hotkeys, and the
  automatic .CT file loader.
- More revisions to the ActivateUCE() function.
- Minor revision that should make the font size detection
  more reliable.

1.5
- Added three more "slots" for hotkeys.
- Added hotkey shortcuts to launch the HOTKEYS.TXT file.
- Minor revision to ActivateUCE() function.
- Documentation updated and revised.
- Other small miscellaneous changes.

1.4d
- Continued improvements to hotkeys; this should be the
  last change I make to them.. unless I add more hotkeys
  in the future.

1.4c
- Further revisions made to the font size code. I really
  wish this would just work properly already!
- Improved (or rather, added) support for hotkeys in full
  screen.

1.4b
- Attempting to provide better support for slower computers
  with increased MouseClick and MouseClickDown delays.
- Adding support for other font sizes, through detection.
- Some other miscellaneous code cleanup.

1.4a
- Fixed a serious error with the hotkey system that
  effectively made it completely useless.
- Various other improvements..? I can't remember what
  else I've changed.

1.4
- Updated .CT file to include some new cheats.
- Added the Hotkey system; currently still in testing.
- Updated documentation.

1.3
- Fixed reported issue with the kerneldata.dat file.
- Redesigned initalization process, it should be much
  easier to understand now.
- Rewrote and streamlined the script.

1.2
- Improved, and added new configuration options.
- Added preliminary support for other languages.
- Added error checking, the program now tests to see
  if certain files exist before it tries to run them.
- I want to say "various other improvements.." but I
  think I've listed them all.. ;-)

1.1b
- Several improvements to "cleanup" routines.
- Updated and revised documentation.

1.1a
- Minor bug fix involving the .CT file loading.

1.1
- Fixed the "Always on Top" bug.
- Finished commenting .au3 script.
- Various other improvements.

1.0
- First public release.

Please report any bugs you notice! Thanks.

The amount of feedback I'm getting is just incredible!

/sarcasm

Seriously though.. I know people are downloading this.. none of you have any feedback?

[elcmab]

i tryed but it did not work

[MaXiMiUS]

That doesn't exactly tell me much. Did you read the .TXT files at all? Did it give you any particular error message or problem?

Edit: I should probably clarify: I can't really fix problems if I don't know about them. I don't have access to an army of QA testers, just a couple friends with different computers. So far I've gotten it working for all of them, so I've stopped updating until someone else starts explaining why they think it isn't working for them.

kk ima test it and check 4 problems if i find anything ill post it

Edit: Nice this works, except sometimes your keyboard shortcut keys don't work, to fix click ctrl, and and also after a while ur game freezes, its probably the d/c from the reload hack, but for some reason i can still see people moving and idk if thats d/c

Edit2: Addy's are patched after update

[MaXiMiUS]

1.6a released in response to Trickster 2.20.5 being released. All of the cheats are updated, and should work with Trickster 2.20.5.

[cocos111]

First off...let me just tell you that I am a major noob at this. I have NO clue what I am supposed to do. You are probably going to tell me to read to TXT files but i tried and it didn't really help. Can u just quickly post a tutorial for a super noob? I cant even run the .exe. I really want to use these...thanks

The TXT files *are* the tutorial. I can't really make it any more simple than it already is. Believe me, I've been trying to.

[cocos111]

Hmm...well is there a certain order to read the TXT's?
