I'm done with Battle.Net programming. It has lost its appeal to me. Want some VB6 bots? Here you go:

No support, comments, or anything, thus it sort of helps to at least know the language.
Err, thanks? Pity your giving up with Battle.net Programming.. :-\
Meh...

I praise the man. =) Good job Rabbit, it's a mighty feat.
Shh @ networks.
Thanks rabbit =)
EDIT -
Might want to take QuikBot down before Warrior starts ranting like the time I accidentally let Zycron get it. =p
EDIT -
Any chance you can zip them, so stuff like this (http://www.liquid-server.org/sources/ZakenNayo%20Bot/Build%20001/PHP%20Part/WebBot/) doesn't happen?
Don't program bots anymore, leak away for all I care.

Stranglely, I've had the source code to QuikBot for months. I don't know where I got it, but it's in my collection of random source codes. Maybe it was already leaked somewhere and I've picked it up? :-\

That reminds me...I have like 2 billion source codes for battle.net alone, I should really delete that whole folder some day.
Whatever. QuikBot never even worked fully, so what's it matter? It's up there cause it was so pretty :)
[edit]
Joe, why would I zip them when you could just wget them?
QuoteJoe, why would I zip them when you could just wget them?
Because, I don't have wget installed, and requesting each one individually wastes my bandwidth, and their not compressed, so yech. <3.
By the way, QB did work, just not well. =)
I said FULLY. It connected and all, but it never became what we originally wanted it to.
Quitting programming for Battle.net must be a new fad.
A fad that began long ago.
I've grown out of it. I started 3 (4?) years ago, and it's starting to get boring now :\
Anyways, fad or not, I'm done.
Out of curiosity, why has battle.net programming lost appeal to you? Is it because there aren't so many updates on the protocol being done as there used to? Also, what are you programming for now? Another game, community, company?
Battle.net has inspired me to learn more about programming, and I still find it a bit fun to do in my free time (as you probably noticed, I wrote another bot, but it took me 4 months to make whereas a couple years ago it'd probably take me a weekend to do the same thing).
Anyway, why did you wait until you "quit battle.net programming" to distribute these program sources? Do they utilize everything you know about battle.net and are released finally now for others to learn off of because you're done learning about battle.net?
Maybe if they were C/C++.
I lost interest in VB 2 years ago.

Partially. I liked to try and do as much of it myself as I could...but now that it's almost entirely documented and there's very little "new" left...eh. It also seems to be just repetition now. I end up doing the same thing every time, maybe changing a little, when I write the connection bits...it's quite dull. I've moved on to not so much programming, I'm focusing mostly on school, but in my extra time I play games and work mostly in PHP.

Same thing here..

A few of them have been uploaded for a while to various places, and others I just never felt compelled to release. QuikBot was only partially done by me, so I waited a while to release that. Some of the others have been open for a while, but I never just "announced" to such a large community.
Anyway....I still program, just not for Battle.Net. I started writing a simple chat protocol a while back, and I dabble with that every now and then, but other than that, as I said, it's mostly websites.
Well, I hope you'll continue to share your experience and expertise with the community. :)
NEVAHR!!
*cough*
I mean...err...sure.
