Hey, whats the code that is used to connect to the BNLS Server

BTW, I already have a Username and Password for the Server.

N00B|_3T A|_3RT

[edit] What's extremely interesting to me is that this guy doesn't state his goals...  why he wants to connect to the BNLS server...  what language he's using....

Here's how:


WinSock1.Connect "bnls.valhallalegends.com", 9367


I hope you're using Visual Basic!

Somehow I think he needs a little more help than that.

BorT, you can find complete documentation for BNLS Packets on http://www.valhallalegends.com/yoni/BNLSProtocolSpec.txt.
You can also use CleanSlateBot which is the easiest way to use BNLS, it's avaliable at http://www.valhallalegends.com/cuphead/.

Easiest way to get your bot connected with BNLS


sckBNLS.Connect "bnls.valhallalegends.com", 9367


1. Connect To BNLS *big step*
2. Send Your BNLS ID To BNLS (As A Null Terminated String)
3. Get a response to your ID, then send your BNLS Pass.
4. Then on the response to your password, send your product to BNLS
5. You will then begin your connection to BNET. Start with sending 0x50

The rest should come as a given if you know how to connect to BNET. This is simply just helping you understand what it takes to use this illustrious server.

I am not in the mood for flaming, but it has been a while since I made my connection to BNLS, so any corrections (politely) please feel free to add on.

Edit: When you ask for code, you really do need to be more specific, but do not expect ANYBODY to just write you a BNLS connection, because unless you pay somebody, it will not happen.

Sorry i was very vague on my post, was in a rush. Anyways Cupheads ocx seems to be working fine, Thanks.

Where do I put

WinSock1.Connect "bnls.valhallalegends.com", 9367
?

I believe all YOU will have to do is


clanslatebot1.connect


after you have initialized all of its values

clanslatebot1.username
cleanslatebot1.password
cleanslatebot1.accept

and so forth.

Go to http://www.valhallalegends.com/cuphead/ocx_me.txt

For details on how to use the OCX and how to get it to connect

 [22:17:14] Connecting to BNLS...
[22:17:14] Connected to BNLS!
[22:17:14] BNLS Authorization Passed.
[22:17:14] Connecting to BNET...
[22:17:14] Address is not available from the local machine


How can I fix that? I know obviously that its failing to connect to the server, would this most likely be because faulty info has been entered, or maybe im just missing some code

You most likely got that error because:

a.) CSB.Server was left out
b.) CSB.Server was invalid
c.) not connected to the internet at all (can't be the case because you connected to BNLS fine...)

[Edit 1] Changed the wording after I read over it

Ok, how is your code set up? Do you have a menubar on the top with like connect? Click connect or whatever you use as your 'connect button' and type Call Connect then make a sub called connect and place your info in there. Example


Private Sub mnuConnect_Click()
Call Connect
End Sub

Sub Connect()
<BNLS Info>
End Sub


Edit: Nevermind after reading more into it, sounds like you got it to connect, just a couple errors. But this is what I used to connect to BNLS.

While I tend to promote this kind of coding practice, do you realize that you don't need to have a separate Connect() subroutine, Exam?  You can stick all you initialization/connection code under mnuConnect_Click....

Am I missing something, seems to me that im missing the code to connect to bnet..Will CSB do that for me somehow?

Thanks.

CleanSlateBot does it all for you, however, I believe once you connect the majority of packet parsing is up to you.

Do this for me:

Private Sub Form_Load()
sckBNLS.Accept = 579728
sckBNLS.BNLSBotID = "bort"
sckBNLS.BNLSBotPassword = "System"
sckBNLS.Server = strServer
Debug.Print strServer


check what strServer ends up being - make sure there's not a typo in it (e.g. useast.bat6le.net or something) or if it's blank for some reason...

No, CSB does that too
