MPQ Locale ID?

[Evan1993]

Oh, I saw he was using longs and in VB.net a long is 64 bits, sorry..

whats a better way to get a string to a hex(long)?

heres what I'm using right now.

Public Function StringToHex(ByRef Data As String) As Long
        'first take each charcter using substring.
        'then convert character into ascii.
        'then convert ascii value into Hex Format
        Dim sValue As String
        Dim sHex As String = ""
        Dim s As String = Data
        While s.Length > 0
            sValue = Conversion.Hex(Strings.Asc(s.Substring(0, 1).ToString()))
            s = s.Substring(1, s.Length - 1)
            sHex = sHex + sValue
        End While


        Return Long.Parse(sHex, NumberStyles.HexNumber)
    End Function

Cleaner, Not always better, but use CopyMem

psudo:

Code Select Expand

Function ToInt32(value as string) as Integer
  Dim ret as Integer;
  CopyMemory(&ret, value, 4);
  ToInt32 = ret;
End Function

My IP in network byte order is 64 bits... how to I add it as a 32 bit integer?

[Hdx]

Convert it to a 32 bit int...
& 0xffffffff.

[Evan1993]

Convert it to a 32 bit int...
& 0xffffffff.

Well I was bing a retard again..
Public Declare Function inet_addr Lib "wsock32" (ByVal s As String) As Integer <--- was long before lolz

however i'm such a ninny that I don't get what you mean by "& 0xffffffff" do you mean
.InsertInt32(Integer.Parse(&HFFFFFFFF, NumberStyles.HexNumber))
?

When converting from a larger int to a smaller, and you don't give a fuck about the high-end. You do the binary and operation on the bits you want.
Hence & 0xffffffff will give you the low 32 bits of a 64 bit int

That's how you do it with C#.
Here's it in VB:

Yea, I don't know how to get Local IP or whether all the values are gotten from the correct place... however that's a good way to construct a packet in .Net.

In .Net its:
Byte -> System.Byte (primitive type: VB Byte, C# byte)
Word -> System.Int16 (primitive type: VB Short, C# short)
DWord -> System.Int32 (primitive type: VB Integer, C# int)
LongLong (QWord) -> System.Int64 (primitive type: VB Long, C# long)
of course there are unsigned versions of all of those.

A few of your values are in the wrong order. Besides that your timezone is a bit messed up.
