I'm working on a custom build for SRB2, and I'm working on figuring out a crash that happens when trying to use bots.
I just figured out how to use the Visual Studio debugger, which is great! Only problem is, though, the reports it generates look like this:
As I am not a computer, this means very little to me. I don't know what is at any of these addresses or what the game might have been trying to do when it crashed. I'm not even sure whether these addresses are pointing to something in RAM or on the disk or somewhere else entirely.
Apparently, the reason that it looks like this instead of something that my human brain can make use of is because of a lack of a symbol file. To my understanding, symbols are the names of functions and variables and the like, and the .pdb/symbol file contains information about what symbols correspond to which memory addresses, which seems like exactly what I need.
The thing is, there doesn't seem to be a .pdb file for SRB2 anywhere. There's one for zlib, whatever that is, but not one for SRB2. Which is an issue, considering I assume the issue here is with SRB2.
Is there a symbol file for SRB2 out there? Would I be able to generate it myself, somehow?
