New BNLS Packets. [Proposal]

[UserLoser.]

Disregarding previous posts [of mine], I think an optionally requested news message and possibly a value set somewhere to indicate whether or not the server requires authorization is a good idea.  The latter sounds like a good thing to have on emulation servers.

[R.a.B.B.i.T]

My point exactly!

With these new additions, a few more packets could turn BNLS/JBLS into connection assisting servers as well as psuedo-botnet servers, so let's not get carried away, ok?

I've added them to my server, I'm just waiting for people here to catch up with me :/ So that I can finalize them on my server.

Your server isn't BNLS

Just for the sake of argument, BNLS isn't so much a server as it is a protocol, being that there's at least one popular (mostly) compatible knock-off, and I've heard rumors of at least two others. With that in mind, a protocol should be able to be changed, otherwise you'll simply end up with one of two things:
1) Nonstandard implementations (eugh)
2) Duplicated work on separate project(s) (also eugh)

Sorry to bump this, But I still need someone who actually has a say in it to propose valid ID#s for these..

Isnt it your server? Why not make them up yourself?

I'm not sure that those IDs are sensible. Someone might want to use the high bit to indicate something one day. It would be better to assign IDs sequentially.

What does Kp think, I wonder?

Someone might want to use low bits to indicate something one day too...isn't that what the headers are for?

Even still, I still think we should go sequentially.

He already has. He just wants everybody else to agree upon them.

Main reason for implamenting this is to allow the host to notify the users of upcoming downtimes, and matanance. This is sent upon connection to the server.

Haha. You spelled maintenance wrong.
