What do i do next?

[BaDDBLooD]

Some of you may have seen my earlier post about that BNLS connection.

I Finally got a Connection to BNLS Server, Sent my Username/Password.  Also got a Response saying that they were accepted.

What do i do next on my way to Connecting to bnet?

[Dark-Feanor]

Download CleanSlateBot.ocx from www.valhallalegends.com/cuphead and read the documentation on how to use it.
This is assuming that you already know Visual Basic.

[CrAz3D]

i don't want to use Cleanslate bot...

i have WinsockBNLS, made a Connection to BNLS server.  Sent the ID/PASS to the bnls server, and got a response back.

What's the next step in Connecting to BNET?

Make a winsock for BNET & do:

Code Select Expand


winsockBNET.connect, SERVER (which is w/e), 6112


& then, upon the winsockBNET connecting, send x50 (basically location packet).
After this parse, or seperate, the data the battle.net sends back to you in the winsockBNET_DataArrival

Shut up assbag. Check out http://www.valhallalegends.com/yoni/stuff/BNLSProtocolSpec.asp

Don't be an ass.  If he bothers you that much just ignore him.  Damn.

Please help me... What do i Send / Recieve next in My Login Sequence?

http://bnetdocs.valhallalegends.com/sequence.php

After logging into BNLS, the only purpose it serves is replacing the functions that are called in BnetAuth.dll along with the functions required for Warcraft III logon.

As I pointed out in your other post, if you don't understand BnetDocs, you probably won't understand the majority of this.  You should either study up on socket programming and packet creation/retrieval or use CleanSlateBot.

He can't help being an ass; however, it WAS uncalled for.

Well....next what you gotta do is tell BNLS what product you wish to use by doing this......

Code Select Expand


   Case &HF
       with Buffer
       .InsertDWORD GetBNLSByte()
       .SendBNLSPacket frmMain.sckBNLS, &H10
       End With


Code Select Expand


Public Function GetBNLSByte() As Long
Select Case varProduct
   Case "RATS"
       GetBNLSByte = &H1
   Case "PXES"
       GetBNLSByte = &H2
   Case "NB2W"
       GetBNLSByte = &H3
   Case "VD2D"
       GetBNLSByte = &H4
   Case "PX2D"
       GetBNLSByte = &H5
   Case Else
       AddChat vbRed, "Invalid Client version! Setting version as Starcraft!"
       GetBNLSByte = &H1
End Select
End Function


Anyways, that's what I use when receiving 0xF from BNLS......

Edit: This I believe is optional, you are only doing this I BELIEVE in which to request the verbyte in the response to 0x10, but it is a good thing to use, at least in my opinion

Code Select Expand


   Case &H10
       VerByte = GetDWORD(Mid(Data, 8, 4))
       WinSockBNET.Close
       WinSockBNET.Connect varServer, 6112


This is where you obtain the verbyte from BNLS, but you can use your own built in verbyte, you can get the current verbytes at BNET Docs.....(But I like getting the verbyte from BNLS because SkyWing usually figures out when a verbyte is changed before I do.)

[MyndFyre]

Here's what I suggest:

Get EternalChat or StealthBot, and then Ethereal or BNCSMon.  Monitor your BNCS+BNLS connections from there, and watch the order of packets sent to and from each BNCS and BNLS.

If you're using ethereal, the filter I use is:

port 6112 or port 9367

That way, you can see which packet it being sent when, and what data it has to have before sending.  This info is SOMEWHAT contained in the BNLS docs, but if you do it this way, you get a really good idea of what's going on.  That's how I did.

that's what i needed.. Thanks

Just for people who do not know what to do next, usually when starting your connection to BNET, the first thing you do is send 0x50....

And glad I could be of help BaddBlood.

The first thing you do is tell the server what type of client you are (1: Game client, 2: FTP, 3: Chat)

I assumed he knew that o.O

[ChR0NiC]

k, What do i send to Tell Bnet what i am using, game, chat, or ftp?

And can i get a "Layout" for 0x50.. BNETDOC's Doesn't explain it very well, in my opinion that is...

Form1.WinsockBNET.SendData Chr(1) is using Game, I have not done Chat or FTP, but I am guessing they are similar.

0x50 is quite simple, but I won't do it for you.

(DWORD)       Protocol ID (0)
(DWORD)       Platform ID
(DWORD)       Program ID
(DWORD)       Version Byte
(DWORD)       Product language
(DWORD)       Local IP for NAT compatibility*
(DWORD)       Time zone bias*
(DWORD)       Locale ID*
(DWORD)       Language ID*
(STRING)       Country abreviation
(STRING)       Country

I can TRY walk you through this.....

BNET's protocol ID = SID_NULL or in VB terms &H0
Platform ID = A DWORD specifying the client's platform (Macintosh, PC, etc).  "6X8I" is usually used for this and the Program ID is your product EG: "PXES"
Version Byte =  the verbyte which you retrieved from BNLS using a DWORD.
Product language = can be ignored by using SID_NULL (&H0)
Local IP for NAT compatibility* = can be ignored by using SID_NULL (&H0
Time zone bias* = can be ignored by using SID_NULL (&H0)
Locale ID* = can be ignored by using SID_NULL (&H0)
Language ID* = can be ignored by using SID_NULL (&H0)
Country abreviation = "USA" or the country of your choice's abbreviated
Country = "United States" or the country of your choice.
Then  of course you once you combine all the data together you send it with the Packet ID of 0x50.
Buffer.SendPacket &H50

well.....I said I wouldn't do it for you, but it looks like I pretty much did lol....
There are ways to to do Time Zone, Locale ID, Language ID and other ones, but since you are just trying to get connected there is no use on trying to figure those out until you learn more.

[ChR0NiC]

ok.. doing good.

What does (STRING) Mean, and Which String do i use?  There is like 5 in the Packetbuffer..

if you could explain what each does, and when to use them, that'd be Great!

Well for Country Abbrev and Country, you gotta use Null Terminated Strings.
should be in your packetbuffer under InsertNTString

A Null Terminated String is a string that is terminated (ended) with a null character. EG: vbNullChar aka Chr(0)

[ChR0NiC]

Wait for your responses then act of them.
Next you will receive 0x25 and then followed by 0x50.
You usually respond to 0x25 but it is not ESSENTIAL to respond to it.
You respond to 0x50 by sending 0x51, which is usually extremely hard but BNLS makes it pretty easy to do for you. I want you to figure out 0x25 (if you choose to do it) on your own.
