Ok...

You read through each byte in your packet...

The first four become a DWORD.  The next 1 is the number of users to expect.

For i = 0 To number of users to expect
 look through the packet to find the next 0.
 take all of the bytes from where you started to that location with the zero
 make those bytes all into one string.
 take the next byte, it's the rank
 the next two bytes become a WORD.
Next

Pseudocode.

Thanks for the help. I really appriciate it. Can you tell me how that looks in VB code?

We can tell you that it looks good in VB code. You need to learn to translate pseudocode to VB code yourself some time, and you might as well do it now. If you need help with some specific translation, I invite you to post about that specific (short) translation you need on the VB forum.

I agree with all of that, except that it probably looks bad in VB code

Yep, Its chr0nic all right. Recently that guy has been trying to make his sentences complete by adding periods and all that other stuff (commas, question marks, etc). Did I miss something? Did chr0nic get banned?

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.

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

I am happy to report I sucessfully parsed this packet without help from stuck up programmers like yourself MyndFire

Um.....it's not me you retard. Ask an admin to check the IP's or something.

If anything, I think Simi should be banned from these forums, as he only posts to flame people.

If you want this code written in VB for you, I'm sorry to say, perhaps you shouldn't be writing bots. As this was quite a fun packet, and it took me only around 30 minutes. So if you really wrote your own bot personally, this shouldn't be very hard.

I didn't write my own bot. I am simply adding onto a friends project.

Excuse me?  I distinctly remember spending over an hour with you on AIM trying to get you to understand what a null character was and how to find where the strings began and ended.  Don't give me that crap.

Secondarily, what I said wasn't meant as a dig at you.  It wouldn't be the first time someone registerred a new account to get help because people were sick of helping that specific person.  Saying "I remember Chr0nic had this problem" was just me thinking that I remembered you having this problem, nothing more.  So get off me Mr. Ungrateful!

Stealth actually taught me what a null character what around 3 months ago, and I don't recall the other stuff you claim to have helped me with. Plus, you were the one who first accused me of creating the second account, followed up by BaDDBLooD and Simi.

Edit: Sorry about the disrespect but I am quite offended that people would accuse me of doing such a thing.

MydeFire, maybe you could help me parse this packet over AIM?

Please IM me. My screen name is: ex1led0ne

Thanks a lot.

Sometimes when I'm reading the BotDev forum, I get really confused and think to myself "How did I end up in the stupid people arguing about stupid things forum?"...

Oh, you're cool. I'm just stupid because I am asking for help. Wow, you are superior to me because you were born knowing everything about Battle.net's 0x7D packet. I shouldn't have asked for help. My bad.

Yes, obviously! We're all cool, and you're the only one who is stupid.

Just look at you, you started this topic asking for help!. You may observe that we all, every single one of us, fully understand the 0x7D packet, and that we have done so ever since opening our eyes for the first time. Yes, not having such basic knowledge, you must be utterly stupid.

You may now thank us for sharing our divine wisdom with a poor lost soul as yourself, and then crawl back under whatever rock you were hiding under before. Having you sitting here begging for crumbs from our feast on knowledge leaves a stain on the surface of our perfect world.

Shoo!

Maybe you should read what I said again, and keep in mind that the mentioned forum is for housing arguments.

I don't think he was talking about you. I think he was talking about Chr0nic and Myndfire.
