Questions about a few B.net packet types for D2 V1.10

[Paul]

I tried looking in the BnetDocs section, but couldn't find anything. Does anyone know what 0x15 and 0x21 are used for? I notice these are constantly being sent to the server while parking in a channel. Some form of keepalive or something else?

Those are related to the ad banner.

here is some codes used in a native bnetd for D2 1.10,
all new packets' format from 1.09 to 1.10 are recoreded:

Here's what I use:

For 0x15, C->S

DWORD '68XI'
DWORD Product
DWORD Not sure what that is, so I use the version byte
DWORD Some sort of client key maybe?

'IX86', 'Product', ad cookie (same as the one you mentioned in 0x21; 0 if you haven't received an ad this connection), time (in seconds since the epoch (1/1/1970); returned by time(2))

For 0x21, C->S:

DWORD '68XI'
DWORD Product
DWORD Cookie from the first DWORD of 0x15 you last recieved from server.
WORD 0x00       - Not sure what this is, so I use 0x00

Actually, this is two strings (or it used to be); however, they're always empty now, so sending a 16 bit zero is correct (to be really accurate you'd send two empty strings, but 16 bits of zero is interpreted as two nulls, so it's effectively the same).

Crash Dump? 0x5d?  Is this real or is it just a PVPGN/BnetD type of thing?

I dunno what it is either, the bnetd I get to support D2 1.10 deals nothing to this received packet from client.
