BNLS

[Luxer]

Where do I begin with connecting my bot the battle.net use BNLS? I am a REAL beginer. I don't now what BNLS is. I can:

•Connecting to battle.net with chat
•Do all of that chat stuff.

Read up on the BNLS Protocol Specification for more information on what BNLS does and how it operates.

(How sad is it that I have that spec URL memorized? )

If you are a beginner, I suggest you study the documents at BNET Docs. Study the Protocol Headers so you know how to send the packets correctly, and study the sizes and types so you know the differences between DWORD, WORDS, BYTES, etc...
Also you can check out the logon sequence Arta has provided to figure out how to connect yourself to BNET. Once you learn the protospec, you should be able to figure how to phase the BNLS connection into your BNET connection.

Ugh.... This is going to take a while... But thanks!

Sorry but programmers who start out by modifying other's sources, end up relying on others to complete projects. And it's horrible practice, you will be thankful in the end that you did it this way.

Not all programmers that start out that way stick with it. I startred that way and now im a compatant programmer. But i also know where to go if i need help (hehe my mentor Mr. FoFo) Only thing I use source codes for now is examples of uses for certin functions/subs/whatever.

I agree. I started with HyperTalk, which I found to be a big mistake, so when I started RB I was completly new to OPP. Prehaps somone could explain what 0x00 is? I am farly to to TCP/IP and have not worked with packets...

RB = RTB?
OPP = OOP?
0x00 is a byte with the value 0, and packets are constructed depending on a protocol, which is standard.  You may want to read up on byte length data types (WORD, DWORD, QWORD, NTSTRING etc.)

RB = RTB?

No. RB = REALbasic. www.realbasic.com.

REALbasic is to Macintosh, like Visual Basic is to Windows.

Lame?

[pianka]

Lame?

Mmmm...yes, was I right about the OOP?

Edit: Woot I'm a Jr. Member :-D

[Luxer]

Yes, you where right on OOP. (OPP = Object Pooping on Practice).
