[VB6]Bot wont join channels & nothin shows up on sceen.

[Learn]

I've recently started programming with VB and I really don't understand everything yet. And this error is baffling me.

Heres the details. I can type on the bot and send it to Bnet (it shows up in channel and i can whisper people) but i cant join channels with the /join command and i cant see the people chatting in Public Chat 1 (this is just a chat bot, I haven't gotten to the complexities of hashes yet) Also, nothing shows up in the Rich Text Box except "Connecting..." and "Connected as 'username' " but thats not Bnet.

Anyway here's the relevant code:

I'm sure the tabbing isn't correct but, whatever.

Hope this helps you

Edit-> I think I made a mistake, yes I did. Fixed.

What about the first problem?

[Dyndrilliac]

For the joining channels part, sending text and joining channels are two completely different events, so it makes sense you aren't joining channels when you send the command if all your sending is text (Note: This is AFAIK...).

I don't quite remember if you have to send something before this, but if you refer to BnetDocs, you see there is a packet labeled SID_JOINCHANNEL. It is sent from the client (you) to the server (bnet).

(DWORD)   Flags
(STRING)  Channel

That's the structure of 0x0C, SID_JOINCHANNEL. To join channels, send that with the appropriate information.

Hope that helped, if only slightly.

Note: At the time I'm writing this I am assuming your simply sending 0x0E with just text, and further assuming that joining channels using /rejoin doesn't work that way. So far I've used JOINCHANNEL, it seemed common sense at the time.

[Newby]

Looks like a chat connection to me. Not a binary one.

[Learn]

Yea, It's a chat bot. I don't know binary.

[Eli_1]

To join a channel you would just do something like:

Code Select Expand


Socket.SendData "/join " & ChannelNameStoredHere vbCrLf
DoEvents '// DoEvents is optional...

Here's the module code maybe this will help more:

Code Select Expand

Public Sub AddChat(ParamArray saElements() As Variant)
On Error Resume Next
Dim i As Integer
  If Len(frmMain.rtbChannel) > 50000 Then
      frmMain.rtbChannel.Text = ""
      AddChat vbYellow, "Chat screen auto cleared!"
  End If
  With frmMain.rtbChannel
      .SelStart = Len(.Text)
      .SelLength = 0
      .SelColor = vbWhite
      .SelText = "[" & Format(Time, "hh:mm:ss") & "] "
      .SelStart = Len(.Text)
  End With
  For i = LBound(saElements) To UBound(saElements) Step 2
      With frmMain.rtbChannel
          .SelStart = Len(.Text)
          .SelLength = 0
          .SelColor = saElements(i)
          .SelText = saElements(i + 1) & Left$(vbCrLf, -2 * CLng((i + 1) = UBound(saElements)))
          .SelStart = Len(.Text)
      End With

by the way the

That's because the code I gave you wasn't

Code Select Expand

   sckBNET.SendData "/join & ChannelNameStoredHere & "
   DoEvents '// DoEvents is optional...
End Sub

It's suppost to be

Code Select Expand


sckBNET.SendData "/join " & ChannelNameStoredHere & vbCrLf
Where 'ChannelNameStoredHere' is a String which has a channel name as it's value. You won't be able to join private channels, so make sure it's something like "Public chat ub3r hax0r".

And as for the AddChat code, I've never used .SelLength = 0 before. So try removing those. And try calling it like this once:

Code Select Expand


Dim blah(1)
blah(0) = RGB(0, 255, 0)
blah(1) = "This is a test."
AddChat blah


Edit: Also, eww@On Error Resume Next. Try to get into the habit of checking for errors and handling them as needed, as opposed to just ignoring them.

You have to make sure you append vbCrLF onto the end of it. If you don't, battle.net will assume you have more data to send to it. I believe this is so people can use telnet to log onto the server, because vbCrLf (carriage return -- \r\n?) won't be sent untill enter is pressed.

Telnet sends the data you input as you input it. Bnet needs to wait for the carriage return, or the output would look like this.

<Eli_1> o

Ok, I did:

Code Select Expand

Dim blah(1)
blah(0) = RGB(0, 255, 0)
blah(1) = "This is a test."
AddChat blah

And I got:

Compile Error:

[Eli_1]

LoL, I think that would mean you have a variable named blah already. Use something other than blah(), it was just an example. blah2 perhaps?

Holyshit.. I just hit connect on my bot and the screen filled with the time thing( [HH:MM:SS] not the H,M,S things but the actual time), and VB froze.  

Edit: If ChannelVariableNameHere is a string, shouldn't i dim it is a string?
