D2 Statstring Ladder Byte

[Tass]

I have come to the conclsuion if Asc(Mid$(SString(2), 31, 1)) = 3 then the char is ladder and if it isen't it's non ladder and it equals 255. is this right?

Ye, but when D2 patched from 1.10 to 1.11, the ladder byte changed from 0x02 to 0x03, like you just stated, so its best to do somthing like if LadderByte = &HFF then Ladder = False else Ladder = True
That way it should stay right when blizz patch d2 next

Question, how is SString initiated? Split by comma, right?
