JBLS/BNLS

[Ozzapoo]

Can they be used in PRETTY MUCH the same way, for connecting bots?

[Yegg]

Mostly. If a bot supports BNLS and allows you to set the BNLS server address, changing it to a JBLS will have the bot use that server and everything will work as it did when set to a BNLS address.

[MyndFyre]

Yes; JBLS is a Java implementation of the BNLS protocol/service.

[Ozzapoo]

Is there like a list of what you could possibly need to use BNLS for? (As in, what you need to use BNLS for to get some values)

[Barabajagal]

Only difference is JBLS can handle products that don't use a CD Key. Full BNLS packet documentation (including what the packets return) can be found on http://bnetdocs.com

[Ozzapoo]

Could anyone post, or link me to a simple guide (or snippet of code) which connects me to a JBLS/BNLS server and does BNLS_CDKEY or something in VB.NET or VB6?

[Barabajagal]

Already did. BNetDocs gives you everything but a packet buffer/debuffer, and you can get that from my signature. Here's what you send, and here's what you receive.

[Ozzapoo]

But i'm not sure as to what I should use to connect to Battle.Net/BNLS in VB.

[Barabajagal]

winsock

[Hdx]

Well,  simplest way to do it in VB is to import the winsock object, add a winsock control to your form and do winsock1.connect "USWest.bettle.net", 6112

[Ozzapoo]

Is the System.Net.Sockets namespace the same thing?

[MyndFyre]

Generally.
