Ugly Autoloot

Setting this up should be straight forward, it's primarily just toggling a setting within cheat engine, adding my script to it then adding the .bat path to Steam's launch properties, the result will be the script opening, running and closing when the game exits seamlessly (hopefully).

This is a rather ugly, ham-fisted attempt to recreate a working autoloot.txt patch for edf 5 I did for my own personal use, I figured I'd upload it for others in case they were looking for something similar and Lootmaster wasn't what they wanted.

I spent about 12 hours bashing my head against a wall, with the assistance of the Gemini llm to attempt to reverse engineer the scripts for 4. 1 and 6 that already exist, this resulted in failed aob scans, to crashing on crate spawns to straight up crashing on mission load. So, I gave up with that and tried to mimic the effect by using a cheat engine table I found which did exactly what I wanted, but wanted it to auto run, so I generated a functional lua script and wrote a batch file which can be plugged right into Steam's launch properties to make it run everything all at once, nice and quiet, so nothing interrupts the game as it launches and it goes away when you close the game.

Everything I have made is included in the zip, linked in the Requirements as well as the Readme file is the author's original . CT file, which is the core of this to actually function. I just made some pretty wrapping paper basically.

This should be compatible with pretty much everything, I haven't tested it with much since I primarily run vanilla, but I doubt there's anything that modifies the crate IDs.
