You could always request the version byte from BNLS if you have to.

Yes, and then you wouldn't have had a version byte for the last 16 hours :P
Yea, that's the only thing I hate about BNLS.  But... what are you gonna do *shrug*.

Soulburner was recently doing this (rewriting the version resource finding functions) and got a lot of help from some routines in wine. You might want to go look there.


Does anyone know how I can get in contact with Soulburner?

I took a look at wine and went through some of the code for it.  (wine is huge!)

Apparently wine comes with it's own compiler, winegcc to compile your programs linking to the wine libraries so that the windows API is functional.  What I tried to do was create a working program that's sole purpose is to extract the version.  I got my mini program to compile, but it crashed upon execution.  

Running starcraft under wine works untill I try to log on to bnet.  Partially through the bnet login, starcraft crashes.  (hmm...)

Maybe wine's still having problems with some of the functions I need?


It'd be nice to ask Soulburner about some of what he has done.

Wouldn't the Version Byte be in Battle.snp or Storm.dll instead(depending on which of them handles login routines) of the executable anyway?

The version byte and the file version are two different things.

Battle.snp handles most of the Battle.net connection related stuff in games such as Starcraft, Warcraft II, Diablo.  I believe the version byte is passed over from Storm.dll into Battle.snp, but not sure exactly how/where yet.
