Can anyone explain how they handle 0x7D being recieved from Battle.net? (Visual Basic)

How do I extract all that data from the packet?

You can refer to BnetDocs for the packet's structure. I just don't know how to do that in VB.

Do you understand the structure?
What exactly is it that is stumping you?

Well you use one of these 3 functions

Mid
Right
Left

to pick whatever data you want out of the Void

And somtimes you have to Clng the string, or Change it to Hex, or Change the hex into string, or Clng and Change it to Hex

I remember Chr0nic having the same problem.  I wonder if this isn't just a new account for him.

Here i go again, Bot Developmnet is not a good way to start learning VB.
But u use: Mid, Left, Right

Though I'm not sure what his problem is..
I think he is having problems determining the length of each set of data.
He hasn't clearly stated his problem yet.

you can use Len() to determine the length of the string

than you use mid / left / right along with the length of the string, to take information out of the packet

you may have to use CLng() or get a StrToHex, HexToStr functions as well

I am not Chr0nic. I am new to Battle.net and Visual Basic. I doubt anyone here knows me.

What I don't understand is how I get the strings from the packet. Can someone explain or post sample code? Sample code is a good way to learn.

What does the CLing function do?

I know I sound "newbie" but we all have to learn somewhere.

I stated that I don't know how to extract the data from the packet. That is my problem.

That is too broad.
What.. you don't know how to extract any part of it even after looking on the documentation on bnetdocs?

Although I think sample source code is a great for learning, I think you are chr0nic's long lost brother.

Hi.

A string is null terminated for a reason and is always followed by X number of bytes before the start of the next set.

Hi.

A null-terminator is a byte that has a value of 0.

I have the feeling this is going nowhere.

Spht's bot uses 0x7D. I wish I could get ahold of him.

S->C
Packet id: 0x7D - &H7D

Format:
(DWORD) Cookie
(BYTE) Number of users

For each user:
(STRING) Username
(BYTE) Clan rank
(WORD) Online status

Additional information:
None.

The Clan rank is a BYTE used to describe a W3 clan member's level.

0x04 - Chieftain (One per clan)
0x03 - Shaman (Up to five per clan)
0x02 - Grunt
0x01 - Peon
0x00 - Recruit (Peon icon; new members are this rank for seven days, and then promoted to Peon)
