Find CNetworkMessages_AllowAdditionalMessageRegistration and CNetworkMessages_IsAdditionalMessageRegistrationAllowed

Locate CNetworkMessages_AllowAdditionalMessageRegistration and CNetworkMessages_IsAdditionalMessageRegistrationAllowed vfuncs in CS2 networksystem.dll or libnetworksystem.so using IDA Pro MCP tools.

Method

1. Load CNetworkMessages_RegisterNetworkFieldChangeCallbackInternal from YAML

ALWAYS Use SKILL /get-func-from-yaml with func_name=CNetworkMessages_RegisterNetworkFieldChangeCallbackInternal.

If the skill returns an error, STOP and report to user.

Otherwise, extract:

• vfunc_index of CNetworkMessages_RegisterNetworkFieldChangeCallbackInternal
• vfunc_offset of CNetworkMessages_RegisterNetworkFieldChangeCallbackInternal

2. Load CNetworkMessages VTable from YAML

ALWAYS Use SKILL /get-vtable-from-yaml with class_name=CNetworkMessages.

If the skill returns an error, STOP and report to user.

Otherwise, extract:

• vtable_numvfunc
• vtable_entries

3. Resolve the Two Adjacent Slots

Compute the candidate slots:

• allow_vfunc_index = CNetworkMessages_RegisterNetworkFieldChangeCallbackInternal.vfunc_index + 1
• allow_vfunc_offset = CNetworkMessages_RegisterNetworkFieldChangeCallbackInternal.vfunc_offset + 8
• isallowed_vfunc_index = CNetworkMessages_RegisterNetworkFieldChangeCallbackInternal.vfunc_index + 2
• isallowed_vfunc_offset = CNetworkMessages_RegisterNetworkFieldChangeCallbackInternal.vfunc_offset + 16

Validate that isallowed_vfunc_index < vtable_numvfunc, then read:

• allow_func_addr = CNetworkMessages_vtable[allow_vfunc_index]
• isallowed_func_addr = CNetworkMessages_vtable[isallowed_vfunc_index]

This adjacent-slot rule is required because AllowAdditionalMessageRegistration and IsAdditionalMessageRegistrationAllowed immediately follow RegisterNetworkFieldChangeCallbackInternal in the CNetworkMessages vtable.

4. Decompile Both Candidate Functions

Decompile both candidates:

mcp__ida-pro-mcp__decompile addr="<allow_func_addr>"
mcp__ida-pro-mcp__decompile addr="<isallowed_func_addr>"

Confirm allow_func_addr is the simple byte setter pattern:

void __fastcall sub_18009B330(__int64 a1, char a2)
{
  *(_BYTE *)(a1 + 1372) = a2;
}

Windows assembly example:

mov     [rcx+55Ch], dl
retn

Then confirm isallowed_func_addr is the matching byte getter using the same member offset:

__int64 __fastcall sub_18009B340(__int64 a1)
{
  return *(unsigned __int8 *)(a1 + 1372);
}

Windows assembly example:

movzx   eax, byte ptr [rcx+55Ch]
retn

The exact member offset may change across game updates. The identification rule is:

1. allow_func_addr writes one byte to this + <member_offset> (setter pattern)
2. isallowed_func_addr is the next vtable entry (allow_vfunc_index + 1)
3. The candidate reads and returns one unsigned byte from the same this + <member_offset>

If both conditions hold, the candidates are CNetworkMessages_AllowAdditionalMessageRegistration and CNetworkMessages_IsAdditionalMessageRegistrationAllowed.

5. Generate Function Signatures

ALWAYS Use SKILL /generate-signature-for-function with addr=<allow_func_addr> to generate a robust and unique func_sig for CNetworkMessages_AllowAdditionalMessageRegistration.

ALWAYS Use SKILL /generate-signature-for-function with addr=<isallowed_func_addr> to generate a robust and unique func_sig for CNetworkMessages_IsAdditionalMessageRegistrationAllowed.

Use the returned validated func_sig values in the next steps.

6. Write IDA Analysis Output as YAML for AllowAdditionalMessageRegistration

ALWAYS Use SKILL /write-vfunc-as-yaml to write the analysis results.

Required parameters:

• func_name: CNetworkMessages_AllowAdditionalMessageRegistration
• func_addr: <allow_func_addr>
• func_sig: The validated signature from step 5
• vfunc_sig: None

VTable parameters:

• vtable_name: CNetworkMessages
• vfunc_offset: <allow_vfunc_offset> in hex
• vfunc_index: <allow_vfunc_index>

7. Write IDA Analysis Output as YAML for IsAdditionalMessageRegistrationAllowed

ALWAYS Use SKILL /write-vfunc-as-yaml to write the analysis results.

Required parameters:

• func_name: CNetworkMessages_IsAdditionalMessageRegistrationAllowed
• func_addr: <isallowed_func_addr>
• func_sig: The validated signature from step 5
• vfunc_sig: None

VTable parameters:

• vtable_name: CNetworkMessages
• vfunc_offset: <isallowed_vfunc_offset> in hex
• vfunc_index: <isallowed_vfunc_index>

Function Characteristics

CNetworkMessages_AllowAdditionalMessageRegistration

• Purpose: Sets whether additional network message registration is allowed on the CNetworkMessages instance
• Binary: networksystem.dll / libnetworksystem.so
• Parameters: (this, bool bAllow)
• Return value: void

CNetworkMessages_IsAdditionalMessageRegistrationAllowed

• Purpose: Returns whether additional network message registration is currently allowed
• Binary: networksystem.dll / libnetworksystem.so
• Parameters: (this) only
• Return value: An unsigned byte / boolean flag loaded from the same member written by CNetworkMessages_AllowAdditionalMessageRegistration

Discovery Strategy

1. Reuse the existing CNetworkMessages_RegisterNetworkFieldChangeCallbackInternal YAML to obtain the authoritative slot index
2. Reuse the existing CNetworkMessages_vtable YAML to resolve the two adjacent vtable entries
3. Confirm the semantic pair:
   • setter writes this + <member_offset>
   • adjacent getter returns this + <member_offset>
4. Generate stable func_sig values from the resolved function bodies

This is robust because:

• The vtable adjacency (RegisterNetworkFieldChangeCallbackInternal followed by AllowAdditionalMessageRegistration then IsAdditionalMessageRegistrationAllowed) is stable and explicit
• The setter/getter pair must touch the same byte member
• The final YAMLs store both the resolved function signatures and the precise vtable metadata

Output YAML Format

The output YAML filenames depend on the platform:

• networksystem.dll -> CNetworkMessages_AllowAdditionalMessageRegistration.windows.yaml, CNetworkMessages_IsAdditionalMessageRegistrationAllowed.windows.yaml
• libnetworksystem.so -> CNetworkMessages_AllowAdditionalMessageRegistration.linux.yaml, CNetworkMessages_IsAdditionalMessageRegistrationAllowed.linux.yaml
