# RED4ext logging shim
`EdgeWeightGPS` is a RED4ext plugin used to probe native GPS/mappin code paths
without changing gameplay data.
It writes `EdgeWeightGPS.log` beside the installed DLL:
```text
Cyberpunk 2077/red4ext/plugins/EdgeWeightGPS/EdgeWeightGPS.log
```
Current behavior:
- Logs plugin load/unload.
- Logs the RED4ext plugin handle and SDK pointer value passed to `Main`.
- Registers Running game-state callbacks so route tests can be timestamped.
- Hooks selected native wrappers and cores around `GPSSystem`, mappin tracking,
world-map mappin selection, and map path framing.
- Hooks `JournalManager.TrackEntry` at RVA `0x5944fc`, which is the native
handoff used by quest/objective world-map route plotting.
- Dumps the `JournalManager` listener array at offsets `0x210`/`0x21c` and the
listener vtable slots `0x28`, `0x30`, and `0x50`, matching the indirect calls
made by the native `TrackEntry` implementation.
- Hooks the non-default journal listener callbacks seen during route plotting:
`0xea89a8`, `0xea8958`, `0xe63f80`, `0xe63e6c`, `0xe63f00`,
`0x8d136c`, `0x431a34`, `0x55a4e4`, and `0x14de238`.
- For those listener callbacks, logs the listener object, event pointer, common
object fields, and vtable slots on candidate nested owner/service objects.
- Hooks the route handoff found from the journal listener bridge:
`0x598250`, `0x13763d8`, `0xaa62d0`, `0xaa6330`, `0x27abd7c`, and
`0x5625a4`.
- Logs mappin route-event fields, active/deactive route refs, the mappin
active-route map at `system + 0x1a0`, and the route observer list at
`system + 0x280`.
- Resolves the native mappin system when one of those paths fires, logs relevant
vtable slot addresses, and temporarily hooks the route-adjacent slots.
Current route-probe focus:
- `FrameMappinPath` wrapper/core: `0x27c4314`, `0x27bc1ec`
- `SetSelectedMappin` wrappers/core: `0x27c4a38`, `0x27c4944`,
`0x27c49c4`, `0x27c1684`
- `TrackCustomPositionMappin` wrapper/core: `0x27c4aac`, `0x27c2318`
- mappin-system slots `0x1f0`, `0x280`, and `0x2f0`
- `JournalManager.TrackEntry` implementation: `0x5944fc`
- non-default `TrackEntry` listener callbacks listed above
- journal/mappin route bridge candidate: `0x598250`
- mappin route-event enqueue: `0x13763d8`
- mappin route-event handler: `0xaa62d0`
- mappin route activate/deactivate: `0xaa6330`, `0x27abd7c`
- route-build candidate called by the bridge: `0x5625a4`
Quest/objective pins did not fire the mappin tracking hooks in live tests. The
REDscript decompile shows that those pins call `JournalManager.TrackEntry`
instead, so the current useful runtime question is which native listener reacts
to tracked-entry changes.
Most recent controlled test:
- `06:31:43`: user hit Continue / GPS tick logged.
- `06:32:02`: automatic `TrackEntry` during load, no route input.
- `06:32:27`: map opened.
- `06:32:44`, `06:32:50`, `06:32:56`: deliberate quest/objective route plots
produced `JournalManager::TrackEntry` calls from return RVA `0x26ac34e`.
- After map open, the journal listener count rose to 254. Most listener entries
dispatch to no-op `0x14a700`; the non-default callbacks above are the current
drill-down targets.
Build and install from the Fedora toolbox:
```bash
toolbox run -c 2077 ./tools/install_red4ext_shim.sh
```
