funman300 340c31f34e fifa17-recon: consumables -- the whole family, and it needs no id space at all
144 live cardtype-6 subtypes and 28 dead zones, all derived from the binary rather
than guessed, plus EA's own authored variants out of the dumped fcc_* tables.

MEASURED (decompiles read to their closing brace, lengths stated):
  FUN_1800d8330  (714 chars)   cardsubtypeid -> cardtype. The cardtype-6 space is
                               {51..136} u {201..220} u {250..273} u {300..341} = 172.
  FUN_18013f4d0  (8,354 chars) subtype -> category(rec+0xb8), sub-sel(rec+0xbc i16),
                               amount(rec+0xbf i8), single(rec+0xc0). Two callees, a
                               range clamp and an enum map; no DB handle is touched,
                               which is why a consumable has no identity to look up.
  FUN_1801bfac0  (42,813 chars) category -> FUT_CONSUMABLE_* string + a HARDCODED
                               5000xxx artwork constant. resourceId never reaches the
                               screen for a consumable.
  fcc_trainingcards 143 rows / fcc_healingcards 27 / fcc_contractcards 13, each with
  rowcount == rows_emitted == len(rows), so absences below are from a COMPLETE dump.

Two things the family will not forgive, both enforced in the builder rather than
documented and hoped for:
  * `amount` (atom 0x1b) is MANDATORY for categories 0, 4, 5, 9, 10. The parser
    initialises its temp to 0xffffffffffffffff, so omitting it stamps (byte)-1, and
    the accessors FUN_1801a8040/FUN_1801a8060 are `(int)*(char *)` -- SIGNED. The
    card reads "-1", not 0. consumable_item() raises instead.
  * A DEAD-ZONE subtype does not self-label. It falls to the bottom default of
    FUN_18013f4d0 and renders as an ordinary Squad Training (Pace) card with amount
    0. There is no "DB Error" analogue here, so every subtype we ship comes from
    data/consumables.json and the builder refuses the other 28.

Two corrections to the generated data, both from re-reading FUN_1801bfac0 case 5 and
case 0 rather than from the category table:
  * subtype 220 is named FUT_CONSUMABLE_NAME_SQUADTRAINING, not ..._PLAYERFITNESS.
    0xdc == 220 is the FIRST half of the squad-fitness test, so 220 always takes that
    branch, and there is no ..._SQUADFITNESS string in the binary at all.
  * all 28 dead zones are SQUADTRAINING, not PLAYERTRAINING: case 0 tests
    `subtype - 0x33 < 7` then `subtype - 0x3d < 7` and no dead zone satisfies either.
  Exactly 29 of 172 rows changed; nothing else moved.

INFERRED, and flagged as such in the module: the ?type= grouping. The vocabulary is
certain (FUN_18012ec50 arms healing=23, contract=24, training=25, development=6), but
the tab-to-arm binding has NEVER been observed -- only type=player, type=manager and
type=custom have ever come from this client.

Three families deliberately NOT shipped: manager_formation_mod (71-86) has zero rows
in the 143-row table AND FUN_1801bfac0 case 6 calls FUN_1801a0100 on the formations
result without the rowcount guard its twin case 7 has -- a crash candidate;
formation_mod (121-136) has artwork -1; manager_league (300-341) renders literally
"ML: %d" from a raw number and one shipped amount (2118) is in no league table.

funman300 d17cf684ea fifa17-recon: keep raw memory captures out of git
data/memdump reached 2.3GB of raw /proc/PID/mem captures. Only its index.json is
worth tracking; the captures regenerate from tools/db_dump.py against a running game.

funman300 9a0a76c9f4 fifa17-recon: real positions, clubs and the six card attributes for all 17,563 players
The pool now comes from the game's OWN resident database, not from a rating index
plus guesses. tools/db_dump.py walked the client's self-describing table catalog
read-only and wrote data/tables/ (149 tables, 55MB); tools/build_player_facts.py
turned it into data/player_facts.json; data/pool.json is the compact form fut_cards
loads.

MEASURED, per player: position (players.preferredposition1), nationality, teamid,
leagueid (via leagueteamlinks), and the six card attributes.

The six attributes are NOT columns -- they are a weighted sum of the 29 base
attributes, and the weights are read out of the game's own playerattributesmapping
table rather than from published formulas. Checked against real FIFA 17 cards:
Messi 89/90/86/96/26/61 and Ibrahimovic 72/90/81/85/31/86 are EXACT, Suarez is one
off on physical, Ronaldo within two on pace and shooting. Keepers come out directly
from the gk* columns.

What this fixes on screen: Kaka was a CDM, Bale a CM, Suarez a GK, and every
attribute was derived from the rating. Now Bale is RW, Boateng is a CB with 90
defending, De Gea is a GK, and a bronze pack deals real bronze players in real
positions.

REVERSAL, deliberate: nation/team/league were being sent as ZERO so the client would
fill its own values (the merge fills those three only when they arrive zero). Now
that we hold the game's own numbers there is nothing to gain from zeros, and they
actively hurt -- club-stats drill-downs bucket by the item's own nation and leagueId,
so a club full of zeros would have quietly emptied the per-nation and per-league
panels fixed the day before. Send the real values.

The old rating-index path is kept as a fallback so the pool still builds without
data/pool.json, and it now says out loud which of the two it used, because one is a
measurement and the other is a guess.

439 + 61 checks green.

funman300 e9e6f203c2 fifa17-recon: the card pool is now the REAL FIFA 17 roster, 17547 players
The old pool was 79 hand-written rows whose asset ids were mostly invented, on
the premise that the client's card map is empty offline so no id could render.
That premise was refuted by a live screenshot, and this replaces its consequence.

Source: tools/dbdata_extract.py reads FIFA's own rating-sorted index out of a
running process (0x40 stride, self-validating {begin,end,end+1} name-pointer
triple, anchored on 20801 = Ronaldo 94) -> data/roster.json. dbdata.dll was a
dead end and is documented as such: its single export getTableData is an
anti-tamper attestation routine, not a data accessor.

Cross-validated against a completely independent method. tools/sweep_collect.py
serves candidate ids as a synthetic club and reads back the identity the CLIENT
resolved through its own merge. 573 of 573 overlapping names agreed exactly, and
the single id present in one and not the other is 26501, the target of the
documented 22800..22879 Legends remap -- which is also what produced 'Alex Hunter
x80' in a sweep and had looked like a bug.

Field honesty, because half of these are real and half are not:
  playerid/rating/name  REAL   the roster
  club/nation/league    REAL   we send zeros and the CLIENT fills them (the merge
                               only fills those fields when they arrive as zero)
  position              PARTLY 59 from the game's own per-card cache, 17 curated
                               by hand, the rest synthetic but deterministic
  attributes            SYNTH  derived from rating and position

169193 is dropped from the curated set: it was in VERIFIED_ASSET_IDS and is not a
real player. The client resolves it to the database's empty placeholder row, which
renders as 'Jamal Blackman'. Two independent methods agreed.

NOTE BEFORE PUSHING ANYWHERE PUBLIC: data/roster.json is EA's player data,
extracted from your own installation. Fine locally; think twice about publishing.

funman300 b0bbc2a07f fifa17-recon: sweep auto-advance + the three-state oracle, live-proven
The oracle is three-valued, and all three fingerprints are now confirmed live
against a running client rather than read out of Ghidra:

  NAMED        our sentinel rating 7 survives and a real name appears. The id is
               real, and teamid/nation/leagueId come back FILLED by the game
               because we send them as zero.
  placeholder  rating 7 survives but the name is 'Jamal Blackman', team 0. The
               players-table row exists and is an empty slot. This is the trap:
               169193 does this and it was in VERIFIED_ASSET_IDS.
  MISS         rating 0x32, teamid 0x78d, nation 0xe, position 2, name ' '. That
               is the binary's miss-fill, byte for byte, and it is exactly the
               blank card photographed in a pack today.

Scale: 5000 candidates per response ingests cleanly; 20000 was served and then
silently not ingested (the map did not change at all), so the ceiling is between
them and auto chunks default to 5000.

Auto-advance: the client PAGES the club, so one visit yields several fetches.
'auto:lo-hi:step' hands out the next chunk per fetch. Item ids derive from the
candidate's offset in the WHOLE range, not its index in the chunk, so chunks never
collide and results accumulate across fetches for a single probe at the end.

sweep_collect.py accumulates into data/players.json and rejects the placeholder
name as a matter of course. Yield in 20000-24999 was 19 real ids per 5000, which
is why auto-advance matters: the real roster clusters in 150000-240000.
