Neocronic isn't mesiah, I know neocronic personally he lives 2 miles away from me. I also know CandyColor personally as I am him =P (big suprize huh?) anyways-- I know that he made the first one because i 'partially assisted' him in making it.  Trust me on this one =p

definition of partially assisted -- I never saw the source code, he asked questions, I answered.

/me waits for people to start posting =p

[Mesiah / haiseM]

how come i never saw it? i remember something this israeli guy made on planet source code, called a proxy bridge, and using it for battle.net, and calling it a bot, yeah that isnt turning the chat protocol into binary though, just forwarding data.

wow, thanks for the info guys

Nova you aren't allowed to say vb sucks on this forum.

[Nova1313sleepy..]

okay i wont say it.

i just prefer other languages over vb because i see it's limitations with the software I'm writing.

My largest problem is that it's windows only, hogs memory, and it's easier todo certain things in other languages. Plus I don't really like using an IDE. I'd much rather use vi or emacs but thats sorta hard with vb because of how it lays out it's save files...

but it's great for small projects like beginner bots and small games and little database aps for buisnesses.

[st0rm again]

You should check out SciTE, I kind of like it. I like emacs better, but I couldn't get python mode to work so I stopped using it.

What on earth are you on about? You are most certainly allowed to say VB sucks on this forum, because it does, most egregiously.

Unless you're Spht or Grok, that is

Etheran, Noodlez, and warz might take offence at that too.

I don't *like* VB. That doesn't mean, however, that I don't respect those who achieve proficiency with it. It is an easy-to-use language that can grind out visual stuff very quickly. I just don't like the performance loss compared to C, though, so I don't use it.

I also don't respect those who use it purely as a tool to make bots without understanding anything about what they're doing.

[Mesiah / haiseM]

what if we know what were doing, but still use bnls, or hash.dll? :-P

[Zakath]

I'm talking about understanding programming concepts, not the battle.net hashing procedures.

Creating a binary bot is not definitive proof that you're a competent programmer, that's all.
