Nor have I. I have heard of QWORDS, though.

QWORDS are quad-words, 64-bits typically. Pertaining to Battle.net, the only place I have seen them used was for a character's experience in Diablo II.

Technically, FILETIME is a QWORD.

Technically, FILETIME is a QWORD. 

And they are also used in Warcraft III profiles to indicate last-game-played-time.

I know what they are. I had to deal with them in reversing a key generation algorithm.

Haha whoops. The placement of the two 'I's made my brain merge them into one, minus the period. Still good information

[Newby]

Yes, I did not know that the only QWORD known on Battle.net was based on experience.

Though, now that I think about it, I guess I could see that happening, since experience gets huge.

Rabbit: My WORD/DWORD/QWORD size is correct, for Battle.net BotDev. Thats what this document is for.

iago: Your BBCode went boom.

Wouldn't that technically be a FILETIME? Nanoseconds since Jan 1/1970 I believe?

[hismajesty]

Isn't it just seconds?

[Yegg]

100-nanosecond intervals since then.

Yes, but as you also said:

Technically, FILETIME is a QWORD. 

[Warrior]

I think of it as a filetime as two DWORD since a filetime is a struct with the same SIZE as a QWORD (provided the structure padding is disabled).

Technically, FILETIME is a QWORD. 

Since the two doublewords within the FILETIME structure are not always aligned in-memory, the structure is not considered a QWORD.

No, it's not.  The Battle.Net BotDev "definitions" of those terms are incorrect, so saying yours are correct as pertaining to Battle.Net BotDev means they are incorrect as well.

A word can be up to 256²-1, or 65525.  It has 256², or 65536 possible values.

How can it have 65536 values if its biggest value is 65525?

Because I hit the wrong key :-P
