Viewed the above.

1. #1 above gives conflicting examples.

from #1

When this is done, you're ready to go. Press the play button towards the top of the Visual Basic interface. (Figure 1. Check your home channel, because unless something went wrong... Your bot is there.

I notice that neither has a .Connect

Should I believe the quote to be truthful, and it should work?

2. Tried the Quick Demo in #3 above.

Test resulted in same as #1

3. Viewed and copied applicable source from keytester_source.zip form.

Test resulted in same as #1

All examples were edited to correct values. ( user/pass/server, etc.

Please Advise.

P.S.

If I'm using any pre-release pages and/or pre-release source code, let me know.

If these pages haven't had any volunteers read and test the code, report the author's conflicting examples and incompleteness, let me know.

and anything else.

P.S.S. I'd like a cut/paste example to work before I continue any farther.

CleanSlateBot does have a Connect() Function, however, if you had read the documentation, you'd know that.

Code Select Expand

With CleanSlateBot1
   .BNLSBotID = "CupChat"
   .BNLSBotPassword = "IsSexy"
   .CDKey = "XXXXYYYYYZZZZ"
   .ChangePassword = False
   .Character = ""
   .HomeChannel = "Clan [vL]"
   .LODKey = "AAAABBBBCCCCDDDD"
   .NewPassword = "None"
   .Password = "YourPassword"
   .Product = "PXES"
   .Realm = "USEast"
   .Server = "useast.battle.net"
   .UseRealm = False
   .Username = "YourUsername"
   .UseUDP = False
End With

Me.CleanSlateBot1.Connect


Try that, replacing the information above with your own. Note  you should put the above code in the same place it was in the screen shots, within the Form_Load() Procedure.

CleanSlateBot does have a Connect() Function, however, if you had read the documentation, you'd know that.

1. Where are you getting Connect() from?
2. It's a Method, and I'd guess a Sub, not a Function.
3. Did you read my post, or the documentation. ( Refer to #1 above )?
4. Why are you using .Connect, and not Connect(), as you refer to in the above quote?
Edit Add: 5. You have omitted .Accept ( forget, or obsolete? )
Edit Add: 6. Did you test what you posted, or just assumned?

I replaced the information above with my own, and no change.

I replaced the information above with my own, and no change.

1: Connect() is the .Connect function of the CleanSlateBot control.
2: No, it's a function. You don't need to worry about the events the Winsock control raises, such as Connect and Close.
3: Of course not...
4: Refer to #1
5: Refer to #6
6: His information is correct, except that it lacks an Accept. I suggest you use the search feature to find the correct accept number, because it's not -65 or whatever the documentation tells you it is (maybe some nice person will post it for you).

[Stealth]

Accept's value needs to be 579728.

[register]

1: Meaning .Connect calls Function Connect(). I understand this, but the demos stated "When this is done, you're ready to go." and "That's all it takes." If the demo doesn't work, I can't trust the accuracy of anything else on the page. So I ask questions here, because Cuphead states "no technical support is provided, please do not ask for help with this software", or I'd ask him directly.

2: If it's a function, result = CleanSlateBot1.Connect, will return what?

Using 579728 doesn't change anything.

Perhaps someone has a link to a page or thread with a demo that is complete and has been tested to work?

Here is the entire contents of Form1.frm

What Stealth means is that you should set the .Accept value before doing anything else:

Code Select Expand

With CleanSlateBot1
   'This first...
   .Accept = 579728

   'The the rest
   .BNLSBotID = "CupChat"
   .BNLSBotPassword = "IsSexy"

2: If it's a function, result = CleanSlateBot1.Connect, will return what?

Silly person, a function does not always have to return a value(I.E., void).

Also, the documentation IS kind of outdated, cut it some slack.

Below is my LoadConfig() and my call to Connect(). My old CSB Bot which this was taken from works without any issues.

Code Select Expand

Public Sub LoadConfig()
   Version = App.ProductName & " v" & App.Major & "." & App.Minor & "." & App.Revision

   .Accept = "579728"


Accept is a numeric value - when you're using numbers, you shouldn't put them in quotes. Quotes are for string literals.

I don't think that made a huge difference above, because the VB IDE makes that conversion for you.

[register]

Two changes made.

.Accept is now the first property being set.
.Accept = 579728 ' quotes removed

No change.

And by Dyndrilliac's example, ( although not a bad idea for alphabetical reading sake ), does accept need to be the first property set?

[register]

Here's more information on what's happening.

Private Sub CleanSlateBot1_BnetConnected()
Text1.Text = Text1.Text & "BnetConnected." & vbCrLf
End Sub

Private Sub CleanSlateBot1_BnetConnecting()
Text1.Text = Text1.Text & "BnetConnecting..." & vbCrLf
End Sub

Private Sub CleanSlateBot1_BnetError(ErrorNumber As Integer, Description As String)
Text1.Text = Text1.Text & "BnetError :" & ErrorNumber & Description & vbCrLf
End Sub

Private Sub CleanSlateBot1_BNLSAuthEvent(Success As Boolean)
Text1.Text = Text1.Text & "AuthEvent: " & Success & vbCrLf
End Sub

Private Sub CleanSlateBot1_BNLSConnected()
Text1.Text = Text1.Text & "BNLS Connected." & vbCrLf
End Sub

Private Sub CleanSlateBot1_BNLSConnecting()
Text1.Text = Text1.Text & "BNLS Connecting..." & vbCrLf
End Sub

Private Sub CleanSlateBot1_BNLSDataError(Message As Byte)
Text1.Text = Text1.Text & "BNLSData Error: " & Message & vbCrLf
End Sub

Private Sub CleanSlateBot1_BNLSDisconnected()
Text1.Text = Text1.Text & "BNLS Disconnected." & vbCrLf
End Sub

Private Sub CleanSlateBot1_BNLSError(ErrorNumber As Integer, Description As String)
Text1.Text = Text1.Text & "BNLSError: " & ErrorNumber & Description & vbCrLf
End Sub

Private Sub CleanSlateBot1_LoggedOnAs(Username As String, Product As String)
Text1.Text = Text1.Text & "LoggedOnAs: " & Username & Product & vbCrLf
End Sub

Private Sub CleanSlateBot1_LogonEvent(Message As Byte)
Text1.Text = Text1.Text & "LogonEvent: " & Message & vbCrLf
End Sub

Private Sub CleanSlateBot1_ServerError(ByVal Message As String, SimulatedEvent As Boolean)
Text1.Text = Text1.Text & "ServerError: " & Message & vbCrLf
End Sub

Private Sub CleanSlateBot1_ServerInfo(ByVal Message As String, SimulatedEvent As Boolean)
Text1.Text = Text1.Text & "ServerInfo: " & Message & vbCrLf
End Sub

Private Sub CleanSlateBot1_VersionByte(VersionByte As Long)
Text1.Text = Text1.Text & "VersionByte: " & VersionByte & vbCrLf
End Sub

Private Sub CleanSlateBot1_VersionCheck(Message As Byte, ExtraInfo As String)
Text1.Text = Text1.Text & "VersionCheck: " & Message & ExtraInfo & vbCrLf
End Sub

and this gives me

BNLS Connecting...
BNLS Connected.
AuthEvent: True
VersionByte: 201
BnetConnecting...
BnetConnected.
VersionCheck: 7
VersionCheck: 0
BNLS Disconnected.

The LogonEvent and LoggedOnAs events never happen.

[Dyndrilliac]

No, accept does not have to be the first value set.

One important thing I see is that your events are not parsing correctly, for some of them at least. You really should read the documentation. When the event has the parameter "Message As Byte" in CSB, this means that there are several messages that can be recieved depending on what occurs during the logon process. I use a Select Case statement to output a message depending on the Byte Identifier for the message. Here's an example:

Code Select Expand

Private Sub C_LogonEvent(Message As Byte)
   Select Case (Message)
       Case "0"
           AddC Me.Chat, vbYellow, "BNET: Account Doesn't Exist!"
       Case "1"
           AddC Me.Chat, vbRed, "BNET: Invalid Password!"
       Case "2"
           AddC Me.Chat, vbGreen, "BNET: Login Successful!"
       Case "3"
           AddC Me.Chat, vbYellow, "BNET: Attempting To Create Account.."
       Case "4"
           AddC Me.Chat, vbGreen, "BNET: Account Creation Was A Success!"
   End Select
End Sub

Using this, you can get a more detailed idea of what error is occuring and where.

I have printouts of the links in my first post, and am following the documentation to interpret the Message As Byte. Following the Keep It Simple Stupid phrase, by not getting ahead of myself when the base doesn't work.

Before making any change, I attempted to connect again, and now it works.

BNLS Connected.
AuthEvent: True
VersionByte: 201
BnetConnecting...
BnetConnected.

VersionCheck: 0

Maybe we'll never know what the problem was.

[Gangz]

If something works out of luck it does you know good. You should try to recreate the error so you know how to fix something like that in the future. Just a suggestion though.

[register]

Chance, not luck.

I've tried to recreate the error, even creating a new project, but each time I was unable to get an error.

Good suggestion though, that I hope everyone that doesn't already do, starts doing.
