[Debugging NetMessages]

Hello, I am interested in what goes into a Simulation Command Message but am having difficulties debugging.

I am using Visual Studio 2012 on Windows with the vc2012 build of the most recent commit. When I try to debug NetMessage.cpp with a breakpoint in CNetMessageFactory::CreateMessage and step through where pNewMessage gets initialized, I cannot see pNewMessage. pNewMessage does not show up in autos, locals, or when I put a watch on it. Is there a way to see the message being constructed?

[Recording Game Commands]

This is exactly what I needed. Thank you!

[Recording Game Commands]

This does appear to be what I'm looking for. I don't know how they're hashed, though. Can I turn these hashes back into commands?

Also, out of curiosity, is this generated real-time or dumped after the game?

[Recording Game Commands]

Hi,

I am interested in recording the commands that I give in game.

This format seems to make sense: Turn X, unit list Y was given command Z at destination W.

My first approach is to look at NetMessageSim and catch the messages before they send to pull apart my commands. My problem here is that I can't seem to make any sense of the "command" stored in the RootedValue tmpData. (CSimulationMessage::Serialize in NetMessageSim.cpp)

My second approach is to pull the packets that I send. Here, I seem to be able to get the command type, time of the packet sending, and number of units. I cannot, however figure out the destination from the packets.

Example packet: http://imgur.com/0fXkCIq

You can see that there are 9 units being moved with a walk command; I just can't figure out how to get the x and z coordinates of the destination or what the units are. I can see that x and z are there but I have no way of knowing. For my purposes, location of the command may be sufficient.

Does anyone have any idea how to get the destination of commands?
