Debugging symbols for signature search in IDA #1107

Open

Description

@dragokas

Hi,

since Reactive Drop is open source project, is it possible to put debugging symbols (.pdb) for the main binary (server.dll) in SteamCMD downloadable location in the next build?

The reason: to improve integration with SourceMod. At the moment some gamedata signatures are broken, and require manual fix with IDA.
Pairing with server.pdb would make searching process much more faster.

Thank you.

    @BenLubar Unfortunately IDA failed to find the required PDB file.

    IDA Log:

    PDB: using PDBIDA provider
    PDB: downloading https://symsrv.reactivedrop.com/server.pdb/5A96B6337FCB0B2DFFCBFF8A4D2545DC1/server.pdb => C:\Symbols\server.pdb\5A96B6337FCB0B2DFFCBFF8A4D2545DC1\server.pdb
    Could not find PDB file 'server.pdb'.
    Please check _NT_SYMBOL_PATH
    

    _NT_SYMBOL_PATH environment variable:

    SRV*C:\Symbols*https://symsrv.reactivedrop.com
    

    server.dll received with server installation this way:

    @echo off 
    
    set "STEAM=%~dp0SteamCMD"
    set "GAME_DIR=%~dp0ASRD"
    set "APP_ID=563560"
    
    set "STEAM_USERNAME=anonymous"
    set "STEAM_PASSWORD="
    
    md "%GAME_DIR%"
    cd /d "%STEAM%"
    call steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir "%GAME_DIR%" +login "%STEAM_USERNAME%" "%STEAM_PASSWORD%" +app_update %APP_ID% validate -overrideminos
    pause
    

    Here are my server.dll hashsum:

    server.dll	MD5	8277855195963164FBD0692FA7189F8A
