About 2 - 2.5 hours ago, this patch was released, and BNLS is now finally updated.
Sorry it took so long, we've encountered several technical difficulties in deploying the patch.

Special thanks to UserLoser for providing the hash files for The Frozen Throne and for providing a CD-key for testing.
Thanks to everyone else who volunteered to help.

The new version byte for both games is: 0x0F (or 15, for those who like decimals).

what exactly did you update, if you don't mind me asking
There are only two kinds of people who are really fascinating: people who know absolutely everything, and people who know absolutely nothing.

The version byte.. and game files such as War3.exe, Game.dll, Storm.dll has to be updated every patch on Warcraft 3

It's true, you guys need update drills.  Then you'll be ready for the real thing!
This'll make an interesting test for broken AV:

BaDDBLooD: No, only what UserLoser said (version byte and hash files), which due to unexpected technical difficulties took longer than it should have. No changes were made to BNLS itself.

Question: do you guys not have the real thing?  I would think you could just download the patch via the actual client....
QuoteEvery generation of humans believed it had all the answers it needed, except for a few mysteries they assumed would be solved at any moment. And they all believed their ancestors were simplistic and deluded. What are the odds that you are the first generation of humans who will understand reality?

After 3 years, it's on the horizon.  The new JinxBot, and BN#, the managed Battle.net Client library.

The patch MPQ archive which someone downloads from Battle.net, then uploads to BNLS and orders it to patch itself.  We can also patch our game locally and upload the updated hash files for BNLS, but this requires more effort.

I have the real Warcraft 3 game, which I used to get the WAR3 hashfiles this time (due to problems extracting the MPQ, which is what we usually do). The W3XP hashfiles were given by UserLoser who used the real game as well to get them, I believe.

It seems like they are stuffing invalid data in the extended attributes field of the MPQ (zeroing all of it actually), and the old Storm MPQ functions call abort when presented with such an archive.

There are a couple other MPQ APIs out there that we can use instead of Storm for that part.
