Quake Wars, Quake 4 and Prey PDB(Debug Symbols)

[icecoldduke]

Using a custom pipeline process, I created PDB files(debug symbols) for Quake 4 and Prey. It looks like the process captured 45% of the Quake 4 functions and 70% of the Prey functions. I created these PDB's by creating function signatures in Doom 3 vanilla using the GPL code, and the ETQW demo pdb files that Splash Damage released with the demo.

 

If anyone is interested, I posted a bit more about it here along with the links to the generated PDB files:

I don't really understand what you can do with these files, but thanks for keeping us updated!

If someone is developing a quake 4 or prey mod, and they want to do code injections to add graphical features or debug a engine side crash, instead of navigating a sea of addresses, they have function names that match the addresses. 
 

so this resolves 0x440022 which doesn’t mean much to anyone to a function name like R_RenderSomethingCool

The Quake 4 Mac OS version actually contains debug symbols(they weren't stripped out). Using that I was able to figure out most of the interface bits to Quake 4 toolsx86.dll.

I have been perfecting my function map hashing process. Using the Quake Wars 1.0 demo PDB file(yes the PDB debug file was accidently included in the 1.0 demo), I was able to match 10,000 out of 11,500 functions in the Quake Wars 1.5 retail SDK executable. The PDB file I created can be loaded in visual studio.
