[ANY-dev] Raw Entity Dump

<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: postbit_external -->
<div><font size="7"><b>DO NOT INSTALL ON A LIVE SERVER</b></font><br /><br />There might be a million of these floating around, but I couldn't find any. So here's the million-and-first tool of this nature. ;P<br /><br />It simply registers a console command <b>red_dump</b> which allows you to dump the raw data of an entity (or the first instance of an entity with a specific classname) to a file.<br /><br />I was inspired to make this after seeing how wizards like voogru and FlaminSarge found all sorts of hidden props for various entities. Since I personally can't get a better way to do so up and running (i.e. I don't have a TF2 SDK with the sentry class) and I'm too VAC paranoid to use a program that reads memory, I figured getting a raw hex dump of entities would be the best way to go.<br /><br />This plugin is only intended for a test server and it does not even do things like safe file path checking. Misuse could possibly crash a server. So don't blame me if you failed to read the giant text at the start of this thread.<br /><br /><font size="5"><u><b>USAGE</b></u></font><br />red_dump [entityIdx OR entityClassname] [bytesToDump] [filepathRelativeToServerGameDir]<br /><br /><font size="5"><u><b>EXAMPLES</b></u></font><br />red_dump 23 8770 tfplayer.dmp<br />red_dump obj_sentrygun 2832 tfsentry.dmp<br /><br />Only tested in TF2 but I don't see why this wouldn't work on any Source game.<br />Also only tested with SM 1.5.X but it's probably good for many older versions.<br /><br /><font size="5"><u><b>HOW TO USE</b></u></font><br />So first you'll want to figure out the classname (NOT net classname) of whatever entity you want to discern state changes under normal circumstances for. I'll use obj_sentrygun of TF2 and a known net prop as an example. You need to have a current dump of all net props as well, so you can determine a good limit for reading an entity's data. (I think attempting to read beyond an entity's bounds may cause an error)<br /><br />With obj_sentrygun, I saw that the highest offset was a 4-byte integer at position 2828:<br />Member: m_hAutoAimTarget (offset 2828) (type integer) (bits 21)<br />so I set my bytesToDump to 2832, though I could easily experiment with something higher if I wanted to. (there could be hidden props beyond 2832)<br /><br />So I bound a couple keys on a server with just bots, went as engie with the Wrangler, and these are my two keybound commands:<br />red_dump obj_sentrygun 2832 tfsentry1.dmp<br />red_dump obj_sentrygun 2832 tfsentry2.dmp<br /><br />I know the prop for a wrangled sentry is m_bPlayerControlled (offset 2780). I built a sentry and once it was complete, I did my first dump. Then when I wrangled the sentry, I did my second dump. I then opened both files in HxD (my favorite hex editor) and went to offset 2780. The difference couldn't be more clear:<br /><img src="http://www.pamelabow...sm/red_dump.png" border="0" alt="" /><br /><br />So if I wanted to find some hidden netprop, I could use HxD's diff feature, or a dedicated binary diff program, and figure out where my desired hidden prop is by dumping before and during the state change I want to emulate by code. :D<br /><br />I hope people will find this useful.</div>
