I was wrong earlier. Looks like you actually need IDA 6.8 to open it. Scient says it's not possible to downgrade the database.

[scient]

Yeah, unfortunately after going from one version to the next you can't downgrade. Also, there are a lot of features that 6 adds that improves the analysis which are not part of 5.

Is there nothing we can do to make the info more generally accessible?  -We very much want people looking and commenting and all that, and nobody much being able w/o some Svensgaard action is obviously a barrier to participation we could really do without...

[scient]

I know IDA supports exporting a lot of the disassembly information into a MAP file (File>Produce File>Create MAP file).  You can then import this into OllyDbg. I forget if Olly needs a plugin or if it supports this natively. You won't get some information and it won't be as nicely presented to go through statically, however it would be better than nothing.  It should make the debugging information more readable. That's the only solution I can think of since there is no going back from 6.x to 5.x. My old 5.x database is really out of date and wouldn't be useful at all.

Please?

Tomorrow evening or this weekend I'll play around with it and get some instructions on how to get the map file (along with file itself) working with OllyDbg. I have only done it a few times before since I do most of my debugging straight in IDA now.

Sorry for delay, I got caught up finishing a training presentation for work.

So the plugin I have used in the past to load sigs and map files from IDA into OllyDbg is GODUP. There are plenty of others that do the same thing so take your pick. You can then load in the labels and any comments. I haven't done much commenting so that won't be as useful however it can't hurt. Most of my work has been more to make the disassembly readable in IDA so you don't need comments. The labels you would at least get the function and class names mostly in. It is not as pretty as IDA but better than nothing. Anyone wanting to do a deep analysis on SMACX binary I strongly encourage to use IDA so you benefit from all the analysis information I have gathered such as structures and enums which are key.

Okay. I took a gander through the new file and added the comments for the areas in my file that did not match the values in the file. A significant amount of the new information appeared in the Path finder algorithm section.

hi im playing a game with Hive using Scient last patch on a Smac vanilla improved with what required, xp patch and official v2 patch for smac. Is it normal in social engeneeeing efficency value dont go under 0 whatever negative change i go to make ?

edit : hive is immune in efficency, didnt remember
