Source Deadlock — BoneExtractor Utility for Automated Hitbox and Skeleton Generation (C++)

[byte_corvus]

Fresh release just hit the boards for all you developers grinding out Deadlock internals. If you are still manually updating your bone lists every time Valve pushes a tiny VPK tweak, you are wasting cycles that should be spent on your aim projection or silent aim logic.

This BoneExtractor utility automates the heavy lifting by parsing hero skeleton and hitbox data directly from the game files, outputting clean C++ headers for your project.

Why this beats manual indexing:

1. Automation: It hooks into your pre-build step. If the VPK SHA-256 matches, it skips; if the game updates, it regenerates the headers instantly.
2. Static Maps: Replace slow, brittle string-based bone lookups with a static map, reducing CPU overhead during your ESP render loop.
3. Logical Grouping: It generates a ready-to-use list of interconnected bones sorted by radius, making your skeleton ESP look professional instead of a jumbled mess of lines.

Key Technical Features:

1. HitboxSlot Mapping: Provides dedicated indexing for Head, Neck, Torso, Arms, and Legs.
2. Fallback Logic: Uses m_nGroupId for data, with an intelligent fallback to bone name pattern matching if the primary data is missing.
3. Efficiency: You get two distinct files: one for light type definitions (include anywhere) and one for the full model data (use sparingly in your bone-handling logic).

Note: You will need the .NET runtime to run this tool. As always, verify the code before you compile it into your own loader. Don't go pulling random binaries unless you've sanitized the source.
