Creating An Account

[MasterMT]

Is there any documentation anywhere that could help me to learn how to create bnet accounts using the 0x1E, 0x12, 0x06, 0x07, 0x2D. 0x30/36 connection with my Bot? Perhaps someone could post how/when it's done?

what the heck are you logging in with, jstr?
0x3D will work with 0x1E login (tested with JSTR =P)

Code Select Expand

SendPacket &H3D, CalcHashBuf(Password) & UserName & Chr(0)

stop showing that off, u know nobody has calchashbuf!!!

^_^

it's X() in bnetauth if you want to do it "the wrong way"

I'm still new to the whole bnet login thing, so perhaps you can tell me the 0x50 equivalent in the 0x1E way of loging in? Meaning when would I send the 0x3D? I'm using SEXP. The bot is made in VB.

0x3D replaces 0x29

www.valhallalegends.com/arta/bnetdocs/ has all the information you'll need.

The logon sequence you mentioned is very old and will only work for Diablo 1 and it's shareware equivalent. If you want to log on using current clients you'll need to use SID_AUTH_INFO (0x50) and SID_AUTH_CHECK (0x51) and soforth. I'd recommend using the new version, as it's not signficantly harder, and allows you to do more - the old login will only work for DRTL/DSHR, wearas the new one will work for Warcraft II, Starcraft, Broodwar, DiabloII, and LoD - all of which use the same packets, with minor changes - thus saving yourself a lot of work in the longrun.

Let's see whose fault is that? Your own!  I swear, i'm sure you can find publicly released source code of a hashing function in c++ for this, or you can disassemble it and reverse it yourself.  Either way shouldn't be to much trouble.  Then you can directly code it in visual basic (reverse method), or you can directly port it to visual basic (c++ method).  There is one problem, visual basic lacks built-in support for all bitwise operations.  However, you can implement them using a couple methods.

just shifting ops..and technicly adding/subtracting too -_-

No.

You can still use 0x07, and then use 0x29 for SC/BW, D2 and WAR2.

Not since last patch, you can't (afaik)

[Mesiah / haiseM]

my brood wars client still uses 0x29 and 0x36 for some unkown reason, and every client can still use that login sequence (besides d2xp, and war3 of course)

[Arta]

hmm, ok then, my mistake

[Mesiah / haiseM]

+1 for arta admitting mistake, most moderators try to cover it up with language u cant understand

[MasterMT]

I've decided to just convert the connection from the old way to the new way, but after I send 0x51 it just closes my connection. Am I doing it wrong or is it a problem in my code?
