How to Debug HB with Visual Studio

Hello,

I'm answering here my own question :

Do any one knows how to debug CC with Visual studio ? It was working a few months ago, attaching the debugger on HonorBuddy.exe and opening a CC.cs for example and placing in it a break point.

Did Something change on HB that prevents it from being debugged this way anymore? (security measure against *****s for example?)

In fact, it IS working for simple CC like default provided ones, but unfortunately not all CCs,if anyone found out how just tell me and i'll add the steps here :

Step 1
First attach the debugger to the Honorbuddy.exe :

And click on Attach!

Step 2
Last but not least put a breakpoint (click on the left margin of your page) wherever you want in any .cs file you want to debug. Then when you code is reached you'll get the focus on it (and the red dot will become yellow)

Notice that it is not working for some Custom Classes, like Fpsware CCs.

Hope it could help some CC tweakers who are not familiar with Visual Studio.

Keep in mind not all Null errors (what you'll commonly have) can be fixed, for example its normal for it to happen after your current target dies. but if your having issues where its happening randomly and you cant track down exactly what in the line is giving you issues, then this is a very powerful tool to use, but isn't necessarily needed to create a CC or Plugin by any means, so dont feel like its something you have to use.

....that it is not working for some Custom Classes, like Fpsware CCs.

It works with my CCs just fine. I use this method to debug my CCs at times.
