I need to know the packet for news for the type of connection of 0x1E. If anyone can tell me it, i will be most appreicated.
I believe it's 0x46, but I could be wrong.

What kind of connection type is 0x1e? I've only ever heard of connections of 0x01, 0x02, and 0x03.

The older style authentication , used Hash.dll and CheckRevision.dll . where as the newer style use's BnetAuth.dll

... both connection styles have the same hashing and checkrevision functions.
0x1E is the older form of connecting to Battle.net and I don't believe has any really descriptive name seperating it from 0x50 other than the "old logins".
Uh , im getting at the fact 1 style uses 2 DLL's and the other is encaptulated in 1?
Evidently everyone who responded missed the sarcasm in the question. Connection type 0x1e is still connection type 0x01 -- binary. It's just another login method. :P

The number of libraries you use has nothing to do with the form in which you connect to bnet.

I got it, but the point I was trying to make is that you shouldn't jump all over him when he was just trying to include which login style he was using.
The functions in bnetauth.dll are identical to those in hash.dll and checkrevision.dll...
And none of that affects how you logon. My bot uses no DLLs, and yet I have no trouble performing those functions. I must be a genius or something! :o

Well...
Back on topic?
If you check SoupBot source you'll find 0x46 C->S and C->S. (Since BnetDocs, AFAIK, is down and doesn't have a reference for this packet)
I've had some trouble while using it when using MCP (Realms) to connect.
I believe you have to call for it on login, or else WC3 and TFT will be the only clients to display it without asking for it. Atleast that's what I had to do. Not sure if anyone else has that problem, but it works fine for me, I request it for all clients but WC3 and TFT, if I do it calls it twice.

You can do this at any point for any connection. (I haven't kept track of what news items have been seen or not at this point -- I just send 0 as the UNIXTIME, and it returns all of them). For Brood War, I got back one record, that had a zero-length string.
LordNevar, i tried 0x46 and it didn't work. So then i didn't know what packet it was, so that's why im asking :p
Why not packet log the client and see which packet returns the news?

If you didn't get a response from Battle.net, then it probably means there is no news available for that product.

Or perhaps an invalid last requested time was inputted? Just a guess. :p
I found why, i had to join my product specific channel before i joined homechannel, so i made it custom, you can either join home channel, or product specific channel. Thanks for your support everyone.
I can request on War3 and TFT and it only displays once.
However, if I use it when using realms I get some serious problems with my DataArrival buffer (Sometimes).

What in God's name does this have to do with the news request 0x46 packet?
You receive news automatically if you join a product-specific channel when you log on, that's all...
It doesn't affect the fact that you can request the news at any time, of course, but it is worth noting.

Actually, all you receive is the welcome message and it's not via 0x46.
Hmm, I'm pretty sure you USED to get news, too. I could be wrong.

... I was merely replying to Zakath's post, and if you actually read my post rather than just dismissing it because you think it's off-topic, you'd see that I agree with what you just said.
