Well, KP the original author(assumed userloser.) deny's making it so how can i ask him to help me ?

The bot was UserBot and i remeber userloser posting that this was not his bot.

That's your problem.  I'd suggest you start by contacting the person who gave you the source.  Either he wrote it, or he can start you on the path to tracking down the author.

Or, even better, WRITE YOUR OWN!

Finally, this is exactly what I wanted to start seeing happening.
No more taking code from a bot and asking people to fix it !!
Great job KP!

1. The person that originaly posted this source stated in the post that they didnt know who made it and that they downloaded off a site the site dosent exist anymore.

2. I'm getting to the point where I can write my own connection code but I'm still not quite there but while i learn im still taking other users code and modifying it to my needs.

3. I asked for help. I didn't ask for you to criticize me or what im doing. If you dont want to help dont reply... I'm sure its a waste of your time just as much as it is a waste of my time. Unless you get off on that kind of thing in which case please dont stop having fun calling me a 'newb' and what not, I'm not about to ruin your fun.

4. I fixed it. I hadnt realized that the error was my own programing outside of the connection code. i.e. i set the verbyte wrong.

The implication of your original post was that you had come into possession of someone else's code which was not functional and you wanted us to fix it.  Despite the serious degeneration of this forum (in particular, its infestation with VB "programmers"), we are not yet to the point of fixing code stolen by people too incompetent to modify it successfully.  At the time of your original post, you had given no indication whether the code was stolen; on the assumption that it was not (I try to be generous), I suggested you contact your supplier for a fix.  If it had been stolen, as it now appears it was, then you would be out of luck.

I don't particularly care what you do, but I do take offense at the expectation that the bot development community has nothing better to do than fix code you didn't even make for yourself.  As a piece of advice for the future, telling a moderator to back off when you were the one out of line is generally not good for your standing...

Way to lay down the law KP.  The community as a whole is better for it.

Kp, i reprogramed alot of the bot and I understand what most of it does down to the packets and what not.  I only post here as a last resport i ask the people who i KNOW invented 90% of these functions you,  KP and the Valhalla legends community...  I asked the qustion because i had recieved an error that i havent seen before and i was sure my programing was right... and it was down to 1 line.

Now that thats cleared up.... SUGESTION!

Why dont you sticky the most asked questions to stop the people who register from asking the same questions over and over agian i.e.  Bot Source Code pages Packet documentation (some people dont know where to find bnetdocs) ListView tutorials it seemed to work at bh for the month that i accually visited that place

They did make somthing for people to stop asking the same questions its that magical topic above called Battle.net Bot Development References

I didn't give anyone sources, will people find something better to do?

but normal people (forum newbs) dont look for that and ask the same questions that are already on it...

Previously you said you didn't know who made the bot; now you say that 90% of the code came from vL and the associated community?

As the other posters have noted, we already have a reference section.  On top of that, I happen to think that a "Bot Source Code" link would he a horrible idea and that anyone who needs ListView tutorials from us shouldn't be using a listview in the first place.

I expect he cares because he's getting tired of people coming to him for support on something he did not create.  If you're any example of the type of people he's dealing with, I can see why he would be irate after a while.

I didnt ask just him i asked the people of the bot development forum to explain to me how it works...

A good precentage of bot programers get their sub functions and what not from other open source bots my evidince of this is many bots have the same subs and functions and they are written the exact same way.... so saying that 90% of the code came from here the bot developing hotspot would be an accurate statement. Woudln't it?
