zones.h for HoT expansion - problem generating

[uRit1u2CBBA=]

I looked through last expansion's threads, and found this post (http://www.showeq.net/forums/showthread.php?6402-Underfoot-Expansion&p=45545&viewfull=1#post45545) that has ksmith's perl script parse through eqgame.exe to generate information on the zones.

I tried this using the new .exe, and it's failing:


Use of uninitialized value within @stack in subtraction (-) at (eval 2) line 1.
Use of uninitialized value within @stack in subtraction (-) at (eval 2) line 1.
Use of uninitialized value in printf at (eval 2) line 1.
{non-ASCII symbols}
@ 001EDBC0 Unknown opcode: 66A3D853

Is there something that needs to be updated with the perl script (if ksmith is still with us?)

I ran the script on the old eqgame.exe from Dec '09, and it worked fine. It's just when I ran it against the new one.

Thanks.

All the zone names and numbers are in a constructor called "EQWorldData::EQWorldData". The address for it in the previous exe (sept 15) is at 0x6B87A0. The address in today's exe is at 0x6FA650. Within this function there are lines of code like this:


.text:006FA6F3 020 68 34 0C 8A 00 push offset aSurefallGlade ; "Surefall Glade" <--long name
.text:006FA6F8 024 68 DC 02 87 00 push offset aQrg ; "qrg" <-- short name
.text:006FA6FD 028 6A 03 push 3 ; int <-- zone id
.text:006FA6FF 02C 6A 00 push 0 ; int <-- expansion (ignore this)
.text:006FA701 030 8B CE mov ecx, esi
.text:006FA703 030 E8 C8 FA FF FF call sub_6FA1D0 ; EQWorldData::AddZone(EQExpansion,EQZoneIndex,char const *,char const *)


The important parameters are the second, third and fourth (zone id, zone short name, zone long name, respectively). It's a huge function and might take some time to do manually, but that's how I always do it. I'm tight on time these days so if someone wants to take a stab at it that would be great.

The byte pattern zones.pl uses to find EQWorldData::EQWorldData needed to be expanded to match the right place.

Around line 17 or so, where it starts with 'my $offset = find(' change it to be 'my $offset = find(split(/ /, "6a 07 68 c3 08 00 00"));'.

It's searching for the instruction 'push 0x000008c3' where 0x8c3 is the eqstr_us index for "South Queynos". South Queynos happens to be the first zone in the function. Take a look at it in a disassembler :)

The offset my scripts generate are off by 0x400000 because they're offsets into the eqgame.exe file and not into actual memory. When a PE (Windows) program is run/loaded, it starts at 0x400000 instead of 0.

[uRit1u2CBBA=]

What disassembler do you use? the few that I've tried crashed when I gave it the "eqgame.exe" file.

[Razzle]

I like using IDA, but it is what I have used the most.

[purple]

I always used ht.

[uRit1u2CBBA=]

I installed IDA and found the "South Qeynos" string in it, and still don't know what you all are looking at. oh well.

[purple]

I've never used ida before, but you're just looking for raw bytes, in particular 6a 07 68 c3 08 00 00. You probably just turn on the raw bytes view and then do a search. That's how it works in ht at least. Look at ieatacid's disassembly above. The red parts are the bytes that correspond to the commands on the right. This is what you're searching for.



.text:006FA6F3 020 68 34 0C 8A 00 push offset aSurefallGlade ; "Surefall Glade" <--long name
.text:006FA6F8 024 68 DC 02 87 00 push offset aQrg ; "qrg" <-- short name
.text:006FA6FD 028 6A 03 push 3 ; int <-- zone id
.text:006FA6FF 02C 6A 00 push 0 ; int <-- expansion (ignore this)
.text:006FA701 030 8B CE mov ecx, esi
.text:006FA703 030 E8 C8 FA FF FF call sub_6FA1D0 ; EQWorldData::AddZone(EQExpansion,EQZoneIndex,char const *,char const *



Like ksmith said, the script looks for pushing the South Qeynos string from eqstr onto the stack, which happens at the start of the EQWorldData constructor. In partricular, the byte string that is being searched for is push 0x07 and then push 0x000008c3 and it just so happens that this byte string only happens in the place we're looking for.

Before, it wasn't searching on as much detail. I assume that the old version only searched for 6a 07 68 c3 08 without the 00 00 on it. It matched an earlier incorrect byte pattern. We're just searching raw bytes, so it's possible to match incorrectly because the same byte string is in the middle of some other assembly. Adding the extra 00 00 on the end made it only match once at the place we wanted, so the script worked again. The secret to pulling data out of the exe like this is finding a byte pattern that doesn't change between compiles and then navigating the assembly to find the data you want. That's why ksmith's x86opcodes perl script is useful. Once you've found your offset, it will let you walk the assembly calls to pull information out.

I also use ht, but that's because I do most of my work on linux. Not having IDA's scripting capabilities meant having to write some crazy perl scripts.

In zones.pl, you'll notice that I'm overriding the behavior of a number of different opcodes since the script is only interested in the arguments to call (0xe8). Rather than calling another function in the exe, it dumps the stack and de-references some pointers. The evaluation of EQWorldData::EQWorldData then continues normally until ret (0xc3) at which point zones.pl exits. The other opcodes that are overridden have no effect on the information zones.pl needs, so it was easier to make them noop than it would have been to implement them.

If you change the 'if (0)' on line 229 of zones.pl (r131) to 'if (1)', it will let you step through each instruction as it's evaluated. For example, here's what it looks like when it's adding North Queynos to the zone list:


eax: 00000000 ebx: 00000000 ecx: 00000000 edx: 00000000 ebp: 00000000 esi: 00000000 edi: 00000000 esp: 00000000
| stack: [ 0, 0, 0, 7, 8c4, 8a1c64, 8a1c5c, 2, 0 ]
002fb44e op_e8 call imm32 [ e8 ed fa ff ff ]

> n
2 2244 qeynos2 North Qeynos

Read the stack from right-to-left to see the arguments passed. The 0x8a1c... are offsets into memory where the strings 'queynos2' and 'North Queynos' are.

[fransick]

Looks like something changed with RoF... my main PC crashed and I lost my disassmbler.

Not sure how I would adjust zones.pl but hoping someone still lurking here will be able to make something of it. In the meantime, updating by hand for RoF zones.

[BlueAdept]

I will take a look at it. I use olly debug. It is finding the correct offset. I will try to figure out what it is doing from there.

As best I can tell things are a little different now that Sony played with how they compile eqgame.exe.... half the zone table looks like it used but the first half includes a lot more stuff than it used to. I grabbed an old eqgame.exe from 9/2010 and zones.pl worked like a champ. When I disassembled the old exe, the zone table was uniform from start to finish unlike the current exe. Guessing that is part of the problem.

I ended up pulling everything by hand and updating zones.h that way. Working on a few final opcode updates and should be ready to test and, with luck, upload an update. I've mapped about 2/3 of playerprofile packet using r6express' zonemgr code as a start. So much data shifted around that it was just too hard to map it all out just looking at logs. Only things missing that get's spit out to the console is Exp and AAexp. Still hunting for those.

With all the work that's been done over the years, I was surprised to find a new hunk of data in playerprofile... accountCreateDate. Not the date the toon was created but the actual date the account was activated. Still not a programmer but slowly putting some things together.

[BlueAdept]

Im sorry to say but it is beyond my capabilities to fix. It is the right offset, but wrong memory location.

[fransick]

Well I commited some changes to SVN last night... haven't had time to compose a post in the announcements section yet. Feel free to download and test. I discovered that leveling caused a CTD so I had to disable the opcode for the time being. The data struct is right so the two areas I feel pretty confident working with (opcodes and structs) are not the culprit so will take some time for me to figure out what is up there. Looks a lot like the Exp opcode that's been causing me to CTD for months now.

[rogues]

Awesome, can't wait to try it out. If it helps, the CTD on levelling was happening pre-VoA.
