cannot parse dictionary at <address>

[rpelorosso]

I couldn't reopen the previous one as I wasn't the one who closed it.

@mrmacete I'm sorry I had to create this again :( Although the commit fixes the issues with sym.Vista.wimpy, I've found that there are still a couple of files than can't be extracted, such as:

[0x00000000]> s sym.ReyesAnimation.json
[0x0464a016]> =!pDj
gg_value_carve: unsupported type 1
gg_value_carve: error on array item 0
gg_hash_carve: could not carve value
gg_value_carve: error on array item 0
gg_hash_carve: could not carve value
gg_value_carve: error on array item 60
gg_hash_carve: could not carve value
cannot parse dictionary at 0x464a016
[0x0464a016]> 

Please let me know if you need any more information, and of course, grazie mille! :)

[mrmacete]

hey! no problem at all.

to figure out what type ids correspond to, it's necessary to go into the game executable, reverse that part and figure it out ;)

i'll take a look into type 1, then. Feel free to do the same if you're into reversing.

[mrmacete]

it turns out type 1 is the NULL object, i'm on it!

[mrmacete]

added support for NULL type here, plus fixed a small regression: https://github.com/mrmacete/r2-ggpack/commit/203ad791da2bddb0d2e4325705e2293c2e802479

please confirm it works for you and feel free to close this one ;)

That's so amazing, thank you @mrmacete ! sym.ReyesAnimation.json can be extracted now :) There's seems to be a regression, however, as sheets from Texture Packer seem to have problems while exporting, for example:

[0x00000000]> s sym.RansomePickingBerriesSheet.json
[0x04529b24]> =!pDj
gg_hash_unserialize: wrong signature 0x7266227b
cannot parse dictionary at 0x4529b24
[0x04529b24]> s sym.CassieSheet.json
[0x004be3a1]> =!pDj
gg_hash_unserialize: wrong signature 0x7266227b
cannot parse dictionary at 0x4be3a1
[0x004be3a1]> s sym.CassieSheet.png
[0x004c278a]> =!pDj
gg_hash_unserialize: wrong signature 0x474e5089
cannot parse dictionary at 0x4c278a

thank you so much!

[mrmacete]

oh, that's not a regression, because =!pDj is only for GGDictionary types (i.e. wimpy files).

for other types i suggest you to explore standard r2 printing / dumping commands, just type p? to see them (all printing commands start with p).

For example:

[0x00000000]> s sym.CassieSheet.json
[0x004be388]> psz 17385~{}
Do you want to print 1936 lines? (y/N)
{
  "frames": {
    "breach_mid_body1": {
      "frame": {
        "x": 857,
        "y": 2,
        "w": 26,
        "h": 49
      },
      "rotated": false,
      "trimmed": true,
      "spriteSourceSize": {
        "x": 22,
        "y": 46,
        "w": 26,
        "h": 49
      },
      "sourceSize": {
        "w": 64,
        "h": 100
      },
[...]

if you're going to write stuff to files type w? and wt? to see what radare2 offer, and / or you can use the dump scripts provided in this repo.

[rpelorosso]

You are right! My bad! Sorry for the noise. In fact, this:

[0x004be3a1]> f~sym.CassieSheet.json
0x004be3a1 17385 sym.CassieSheet.json
[0x004be3a1]> s sym.CassieSheet.json
[0x004be3a1]> wtf sym.CassieSheet.json 1738
Dumped 1738 bytes from 0x004be3a1 into sym.CassieSheet.json

Works like a charm. It looks then, that everything is working fine. I'm closing this Issue. Thank you so much! :D

[mrmacete]

bella! ;)
