this protobuff shit is pain of my existence

iam sorry about this question but just to make sure i have downloaded this .proto files

Пожалуйста, авторизуйтесь для просмотра ссылки.

{FILENAME} and using the protoc.exe for version 3.19.4 is that correct ?
and this protobuf-cpp-3.19.4.zip ( and used the cmake to generate the libprotobuf.lib


because iam currently getting this error while compiling the project
#error: This file was generated by a newer version of protoc
even ur

Пожалуйста, авторизуйтесь для просмотра ссылки.

repo is not compiling at all ( it used to compile just fine )

just https://yougame.biz/threads/321117/#post-3279785 is enough
mind the version!!! it's not 3.19.4 or whatever
see the post it even has links
the short version is:
1) dota uses 3.21.8(you need to use the same version if you need binary compatibility/interoperability - such as using dota2's in-memory message structures directly(and not just serialized messages))
2) you need the same protoc & libprotobuf versions
3) .proto files are basically meaningless textual garbage and they can't be used as-is - they're just .txt files; they describe "conceptual" layout of the message
4) you compile that textual garbage(using protoc) into actual C++ structures that define the in-memory layout of the message and serialization/deserialization helper functions. these structures internally still use some libprotobuf stuff, so you're going to need it too
(then you add those generated C++ files to your project)
5) you link against libprotobuf to allow for serialization/deserialization of messages and to allow those C++ structures to compile(they are generated by protoc in such a way that they depend on libprotobuf)
6) now you can serialize/deserialize pb messages as well as use their in-memory representations
7) messages can either be serialized(a bunch of "neutral" bytes to be sent over the network), or as in-memory structures(with pointers etc, not neutral and can't be sent over the network). google::protobuf::Message is the in-memory structure(the base type, at least), and when it's serialized it's just an array of bytes. serialization is the process of turning an in-memory structure(with non-neutral data that only your computer can understand - you can't send that over the network) into a neutral representation that can be understood by others(then you send it over the network, or store to disk, etc.). deserialization turns neutral data into an in-memory structure. netchan filter already receives deserialized in-memory messages, so you don't have to worry about serialization/deserialization - but libprotobuf already implements both, so if you needed to, you could do it without any extra effort. also, btw, that "MessageToJson" is also a form of serialization, just not to protobuf wire format but rather to JSON(you had an in-memory structure with a bunch of pointers and shit(they represent locations in YOUR memory - and I, for example, can't understand those pointers since I'm on a different PC and have different data in my RAM, obviously), then you turn that into something neutral(encoding the characters of the strings themselves, rather than just pointers that don't mean anything to someone else, and possibly encoding the layout(such as field names) of your message) that is easily understood/readable by others)
the point is, you need libprotobuf for a bunch of helper functions/structures, and protoc to compile textual-garbage-.proto-files into actual C++ structures

double check that you have 3.21.8
also wtf is this const auto s_pos = protobufText.find("\"message_text\":");
first of all this is not how you parse JSON(it's a context-free grammar and you need a PDA to parse it - not regexes and certainly not your shit). in general, if you ever need to parse something - then get a proper library... grammar is a lot more complicated than you think, especially with nested/balanced(opening/closing brackets, etc.) structures/symbols
second, you do realize you can just downcast the in-memory structure to the specific message type(after you check the id) and get your data directly from there? why do you think you even compiled the .proto files? that JSON stuff is there just for debug printing purposes, not for you to deserialize it(you already have a deserialized message!!!)
also 394 is for the outcoming chat message(the one you send when you hit enter)
you want 612(CDOTAUserMsg_ChatMessage)

send msg id 394 CDOTAClientMsg_ChatMessage [394] @ 1755855982690564
{
 "channel_type": 12,
 "message_text": "shit"
}

recv msg id 612 CDOTAUserMsg_ChatMessage [612] @ 1755855982717643
{
 "source_player_id": 1,
 "channel_type": 12,
 "message_text": "shit"
}

if (ser->messageID == 612)
{
    CDOTAUserMsg_ChatMessage* cm = static_cast<CDOTAUserMsg_ChatMessage*>(msg->GetPbMessage());
    if (cm->has_message_text())
    {
        cm->message_text();
        ...

as usual dude u are the best < 3

i was using protobuf 3.21.8, the compiler is still finding the older vcpkg protobuf headers that don't have always_print_primitive_fields .

so i removed it completely

1 more question please how can i send messages ?

it's easier to just invoke in-game functions/wrappers that send those messages, rather than directly constructing and sending messages yourself.
place a breakpoint at SendNetMessage(set a condition that the channel is the clientside one), do something that will cause the message to be sent by the game, and then just reverse engineer up the call stack from there. you can find SendNetMessage by xref "CNetChan::SendNetMessage: Trying to send message %s, which is an invalid category for this channel!\n"
also you should only invoke game functions from the main thread.

dude there is something new happened yesterday , iam unable to get the message_text anymore it keeps telling me error reading characters of string

but the other messages are retrived successfully

can't reproduce, everything works fine. debug your stuff. also this "error reading characters of the string" is probably because the variable isn't even constructed yet(don't forget that your messageText is NOT the message text. it's your own variable, to which you copy the actual message text. you're making a copy. and that copy hasn't been fully constructed yet)

The issue was libprotoc.dll needs to be placed inside the game folder

 

[Un1xCr3w]

do i need the libprotoc.dll , libprotobuf.dll and libprotobufd.dll files to be placed in my dota2.exe folder ?

if yes i need to know how can i get them

 

[Liberalist]

do i need the libprotoc.dll , libprotobuf.dll and libprotobufd.dll files to be placed in my dota2.exe folder ?

first of all, protoc is the .proto file compiler that turns .txt(.proto) garbage into .h + .cc files; you don't need it for anything else
second, libprotobuf is the actual library that contains serialization/deserialization/in-memory message helpers/arenas/etc. - you need it for google::protobuf::Message and everything related to it
third, C/C++ linkers(and everything else that uses them internally) allow static and dynamic linking(or a mix of both) - i.e. you can either directly embed a library's code into your executable(thus your executable will have a bigger filesize and will be more self-contained), or load that code at runtime from a separate file(by loading dll's); also you can have fully manual linking(LoadLibraryA/W(or GetModuleHandleA/W) + GetProcAddress etc. - what you're doing when you're calling the game functions is actually a form of manual linking) (no linker support - you're responsible for managing everything yourself)
fourth, *d.dll is usually the debug version(with all kinds of debugging features enabled/no code optimization(for easier debugging) etc.)(the d stands for debug)
if you want dynamic linking(i.e. you want dlls to be placed in the search path) - then compile libprotobuf in dynamic library mode(read libprotobuf's docs)
if you want static linking(no dlls, everything self-contained), see https://yougame.biz/threads/321117/#post-3279785
learn the C(++) build process and how it works
you feed source files(.cpp, .cc, .c) to the compiler, it outputs .obj(or .o) files, those can be packaged into .lib(or .a) archives - you then feed all .obj/.o and .lib/.a files to the linker and it produces an executable(PE/ELF/Mach-O); the linker is also responsible for non-manual dynamic imports(since those are a feature of the executable formats and the system's executable loader)
there are also build systems(ninja, make, msbuild) and generators of scripts for these systems(such as CMake) - MSBuild is a build system(the .vcxproj files are MSBuild scripts).

protoc version is :  3.21.8

you can just build from visual studio(instead of running msbuild) after you generate msbuild scripts(.vcxproj) with cmake
.lib/.a files are tricky - they're just archives of .obj/.o files, dynamic linking won't just magically work out of the box just because you're using an archive - you also need dllimport/dllexport(or similar) attributes on the functions themselves(then .obj/.o files will contain export stubs instead of actual code and the linker will figure out the rest) - most projects have a preprocessor flag or something for this - read the docs

Пожалуйста, авторизуйтесь для просмотра ссылки.

or just link statically why tf do you need dynamic linking?
compile the code yourself, either directly in your project, or pre-compile it in another project(libprotobuf.vcxproj) and put it into an archive(.lib), then provide that archive to the linker

 

[Un1xCr3w]

i dont depend on dynamic links i currently dont know how to get the .lib files and iam not good with visual studio builds

 

[Liberalist]

i dont depend on dynamic links i currently dont know how to get the .lib files and iam not good with visual studio builds

you get the .lib files by compiling libprotobuf yourself in a separate project(cmake generates .vcxproj files, you open them in visual studio, where you can change project settings if needed and compile) - this should probably be the default configuration, even - read the docs anyway; make sure that you're linking the CRT the same way as you're linking it in your project
or you can just directly build .obj files in your project on demand with the rest of your source files instead of pre-compiling them and packaging them into an archive, as I have linked a million times already

for msbuild it's as simple as clicking "add existing item" to source files in solution explorer, or editing the .vcxproj file(it's xml); the external include directories(for headers) are under VC++ directories in project settings
