CBaseAnimating::LookupSequence
 

Hello everyone, I am really confise with the IDA Pro scripts for extracting memsigs, I dont know why i have that problem with extracting only on CBaseAnimating::LookupSequence function, even if i use it on the old version with the proper function names, but with other function i dont have problem, so when i run script in this function i have that error : "Ran out of bytes to create unique signature.", in new .so or .dll you can find it by the string : "LookupSequence" and use the function with that string like xref to find the proper CBaseAnimating::LookupSequence function, but in even new library the script fail on this function, so anyone know why some sigs dont want to extract in CS:GO . any reason and what i can do with that? may be i have wrong IDA version ? Thanks a million, i will appreciate any help with that issue.

The function is too short to generate a unique signature. You'll have to come up with a different way of getting the function address.

Thanks for reply, Do I have any possibility of find address in different way? Which are those ?

Re: CBaseAnimating::LookupSequence
 

Finding somewhere that calls it and pulling the address from there is one possibility.

Do you have any practicle examples how i can do it ?

Re: CBaseAnimating::LookupSequence
 

The general steps are:
1) Find a function that calls your target function and have a look at the assembly (with opcodes enabled).
It should look something like this:
The XX is the call opcode and the YY YY YY YY is the relative address of the function you're looking for.

2) Extract that YY YY YY YY bit and add it to the address of the instruction after the call to get the absolute address of your function

This is a bit convoluted and most of the time unnecessary. What exact function are you trying to get and why? If you're just trying to call the function then it's probably easier to just recreate the contents of that function yourself.

Thanks for help, I will try to you the lookkupseq function which only require I'd of seq, because I a, just lazy to recreate the all main function just because of one parameter difference )
