*** Joining/Creating Games (WithCleanSlateBot)

[Mesiah / haiseM]

if cleanslatebot supports udp packets, how do you build one? you cant use .buildpacket, because it isnt the same format, not at all...

[l)ragon]

ok, got the stat string, what do i do with it?

did you create many games/compaired the strings found out what each peice of the string represents 8\

Digression:

BnetDocs does not contain information about joining games.

Also, what is there shouldn't be that hard to understand! if you sit down with a packet log and look at the descriptions on bnetdocs and the data in the packet, it should become clear. You might need to persevere for a bit but don't let that put you off!

[ILurker]

yes, but i dontr know what to put for the buildpacket source... It supports (buffertype as string, ParramArray saElements() As Variant) As String
I have no idea what do put for these things..

Perhaps reading the readme for it...

You cant do it anyways, i just read that thing, and when it says it supports UDP, its referring to sending 0x14 packet, which is a TCP packet sent to bnet during the login, to tell it that it does support UDP packets, if it is not sent, battle.net game clients will not allow you to join or create games.

cleanslatebox does not support UDP, so the most your going to get out of it, is getting game info and sitting in a game lobby all by yourself.

So basically, there is no way to make /create games with bnls? do you have to use "winsock"?

[Mesiah / haiseM]

you can create the game using cleanslatebot, but if you want other people to see you, or for people to be able to join your game, your going to need udp support. This is still possible if you add your own UDP socket, and carry over a few certain values from the cleanslatebot.

The BNLS protocol does not support creating games, last I checked.

And I'm reasonably sure that VB's winsock.ocx (or whatever it's called) isn't good enough for that purpose because UDP sockets have to be bound, and it can't listen on the same port that it recieves on which is a requirement for the Game protocol.

Naw, works fine. I've had in-game support for Starcraft/BroodWar using Visual Basic for a while now.

[haZe]

Is there any way I can packet log Brood War games without actaully being in them? (not allowed to go on sc)

[Zakath]

Not really...even if you use something *other* than SC to do it, you'll still need to be in the game to be able to packet log it. You could have someone else do it for you, though.

[haZe]

Any takers?

[UserLoser]

I would, but WPE PRO doesnt show most of those packets, which are UDP
