[C++] Dynamic SCBW Verbyte Retrieval

[Hdx]

Not necessarily.
It isn't really a 'pattern'. Its more so how they do there code.
They could be doing something like:
SetConnectionInformation(something, something, verbyte, something, something)
They could just decide to change it to SetVerbyte(verbyte) instead.
Or, they could use different compiler optimizations resulting in a different pattern to search for. (EXA: how theres 2 different 'types' of lockdown dlls)

BUT, thats not the reason I want to have the hashes. I want them merely for shits an giggles.

Well, we know for a fact that there hasn't been any code changes in this section from atleast *version 1.08 for SC, and although pattern matching is obviously not a 100% fool proof method, it is reliable enough in this case.

DevCode was so kind as to upload the old hashes, I've made them available at this location:

http://www.bnetdocs.org/archives/

Just navigate to the oldhashes directory, and then choose the version. All files have been scanned and verified clean.

I still need the old hashes from the oldest to the most current for:

w2bn, d2, d2lod, wc3, wc3 tft

if anyone can donate those, it'd be appreciated.

no wow hashes please, as wow is a paid subscription service and i'd rather not annoy blizzard too much.

As for a DCMA, if I get hit with one, well, I'll deal with it when it happens.

you could find some old bot that used hashs and see if those hashs are old enuff for you

I've got a copy of Warcraft II that is from 1999 or possibly 2000 if that is of any interest to anyone.

What version

[l2k-Shadow]

Hex$() returns a string.

[Barabajagal]

Ya... I was doing Debug.Print for it and forgot to remove the Hex$() bit. Also, I found where D2 stores the verbyte (BNClient.dll), so I'll add that in a few.
Added D2 and War3 as well.

[Chriso]

Andy, you forgot to include the values for FindStr it will just error...

[Barabajagal]

No, KP deleted them.

Why the hell was my entire post deleted?

Edit: Whatever. I'll just post the patterns and you guys can write your own code:
(XX represents a "wildcard" byte)

SC VerByte = Hex(179 + 2 x Version_Number)

Wouldn't the simple algorithm above be just as reliable as this pattern-finding code you guys have come up with?

[Barabajagal]

Except that the versioning system in SC just changed from letters to numbers, and revision number increases had no effect on the verbyte. The patterns above are more than patterns, they're searching for the code that compiles 0x50, which isn't likely to change.

In my post, Version_Number is ment to refer to the Major change. Hence it ignores the revision letters/numbers and the change doesn't effect it's correct output.
