Dump File Reader

Hello beloved, dead, community,

Reading dump files using Visual Studio is a pretty handy thing for developing, but Joymax wanted to include even more information about previous events. Storing an entire trace into the dump file would easily exceed the average hard drive capacity of 2005. Joymax chose the way of the potato, aka. the easiest way. Instead of using the a userstream for storing their data, they simply appended a really basic text-log to the end.

I've written a tool that extracts the additional data Joymax appended to the dump files.

It also produces a file with all these messages. If you open it with an editor capable of processing EUC-KR or CP-949, you'll get correct encoded messages you can simply paste into Google Translate.

Note that not all dump files contain such data. Some might result in dumping endless lines of nonsense.

Source Code

Code:

#include <cstdio>
#include <fstream>
#include <Windows.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>

template<typename T>
void read_binary(T& buf, std::fstream &f)
{
	f.read(reinterpret_cast<char*>(&buf), sizeof(T));
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	if(argc != 2)
	{
		MessageBox(NULL, "Invalid Parameter Count. Please drag your dump-file onto this binary.", "Error", MB_OK | MB_ICONERROR);
		return -2;
	}

	std::fstream f;
	std::ofstream out;

	
	// Open Dump File
	std::cout << "Opening Dump File: " << argv[1] << std::endl;

	f.open(argv[1], std::ios::in | std::ios::binary);

	if (!f.is_open())
	{
		std::cerr << "Can not open dump file" << std::endl;
		return -1;
	}


	// Open Output File
	std::string outfilename = argv[1];
	outfilename += ".txt";

	std::cout << "Writing Log to : " << outfilename << std::endl;

	out.open(outfilename);

	if (!f.is_open())
	{
		std::cerr << "Can not open output file" << std::endl;
		return -2;
	}

	// Seek to end (there is the offset)
	f.seekg(-4, f.end);

	// Read Offset
	int pos = 0;
	f.read(reinterpret_cast<char*>(&pos), sizeof(pos));

	// Jump to offset
	f.seekg(pos, f.beg);

	// Read Number of Debug Messages
	int dbgnum = 0;
	read_binary(dbgnum, f);

	std::cout << "Number of Messages: " << dbgnum << std::endl;
	out << "Number of Messages: " << dbgnum << std::endl;

	// Read Timestamp
	SYSTEMTIME t;
	read_binary(t, f);

	std::cout << std::setw(2) << std::setfill('0') <<  std::setw(2) << t.wDay << "." <<  std::setw(2) << t.wMonth << "." << t.wYear << " " << std::setw(2) << t.wHour << ":" << std::setw(2) << t.wMinute << ":" << std::setw(2) << t.wSecond << std::endl;
	out << std::setw(2) << std::setfill('0') <<  std::setw(2) << t.wDay << "." <<  std::setw(2) << t.wMonth << "." << t.wYear << " " << std::setw(2) << t.wHour << ":" << std::setw(2) << t.wMinute << ":" << std::setw(2) << t.wSecond << std::endl;


	// Read Number of Debug Messages
	int start = 0;
	read_binary(start, f);

	// Dump Messages
	for (dbgnum; dbgnum > 0; dbgnum--)
	{
		int stamp;
		short len;
		char buf[0xFFFF];

		read_binary(stamp, f);

		read_binary(len, f);

		f.read(buf, len);
		buf[len] = 0;

		std::setprecision(6);

		std::cout << std::setfill(' ') << "[" << std::setw(12) << std::fixed <<  ((stamp - start) / 1000.00) << "] " << buf << std::endl;
		out << std::setfill(' ') << "[" << std::setw(12) << std::fixed <<  ((stamp - start) / 1000.00) << "] " << buf << std::endl;
	}


	f.close();
	out.close();

	getchar();
	return 0;
}

Tested for ISRO, VSRO, CSRO. Not working on Beta-Client. Feel free to report bugs. There are some.

for the csro-r client you'll have another block with system info at the end ;) it's just a string + offset, the debug messages block start offset is right before the system info block, the rest is the same :D

here's some c# code

Code:

using (var stream = new MemoryStream(fileBytes) { Position = size - 4 })
using (var reader = new BinaryReader(stream))
{
    var offset = reader.ReadInt32();

    stream.Position = offset;

    if (reader.ReadInt16() == 21327) // "OS" string
    {
        stream.Position = offset;

        var osBytes = reader.ReadBytes(size - offset - 4);
        var osString = Encoding.GetEncoding(949).GetString(osBytes);

        // print os

        stream.Position = offset - 4;

        offset = reader.ReadInt32();
    }

    stream.Position = offset;

    var msgCount = reader.ReadInt32();
    var sysTime_Year = reader.ReadInt16();
    var sysTime_Month = reader.ReadInt16();
    var sysTime_DayOfWeek = reader.ReadInt16();
    var sysTime_Day = reader.ReadInt16();
    var sysTime_Hour = reader.ReadInt16();
    var sysTime_Minute = reader.ReadInt16();
    var sysTime_Second = reader.ReadInt16();
    var sysTime_Milliseconds = reader.ReadInt16();
    var startTime = reader.ReadInt32();

    while (msgCount-- > 0)
    {
        var msgTime = (reader.ReadUInt32() - startTime) / 1000;
        var msgSize = reader.ReadUInt16();
        var msgBytes = reader.ReadBytes(msgSize);
        var msg = Encoding.GetEncoding(949).GetString(msgBytes);

        // print msg
    }
}

Sadly doesn't work with isro 1.065 (2006 client) dump files. :(

It had helped me so much in parsing data :/

anyway gj :)

here is my dmp files if you want to test <3
