Battlenet Connection

How the little thing's make such a big difference.

[Blaze]

Its just like setting up your profile on a dating site. If you say your a girl, your gonna get guys(hopefully) messaging you, and vice versa.

[LordNevar]

So what your saying is I should put "Winsock.SendData Chr(1)" as my title

Weird, since BNLS is unreachable and I cant test my bot so far, I'd thought I'd look at someone elses source code (just to see if im doing it right). However his 0x50 packet is different from mine. Heres his 0x50 packet.

Code Select Expand

DWORD &H0
NonNTString "68XI" & Prod
DWORD verbyte
DWORD &H0
DWORD &H0
DWORD &H480
DWORD &H1033
DWORD &H1033
NTString "USA"
NTString "United States"

Mine seems different then his. Here's mine:

Code Select Expand

DWORD &H0
DWORD IX68
DWORD SEXP
DWORD versionbyte
DWORD &H0
DWORD &H0
DWORD &H0
DWORD &H0
DWORD &H0
NTString "CAN"
NTString "Canada"

Which ones correct?

[Newby]

I am betting both will pass 0x50. Yours looks to be more .. correct .. in terms of what is inserted where. His NTString "68XI" & Product is just being a cheater.

[MindArchon]

Why is his IX68 reversed?

Why is his IX68 reversed?

Intel chips are little endian.

[MindArchon]

so I dont have to reverse the product like in Cupheads ocx or Chronics ocx?

The packet above will work just fine?

DWORD SEXP will reverse the the product and make it PXES. So no, you are wrong.

When battle.net sends 0x25, if you ignore it you get a -1 ping, and if you send the timestamp back you get a regular ping.

What does this mean?

"The ping displayed when in chat can be artificially inflated by delaying before sending this packet."

It gets larger? How do you get a 0 ms ping. Do you just send 0?

It keeps sending me 0x25 after I respond to it every 10 - 15 seconds. Is this normal?

[LordNevar]

If you ignore 0x25 and reply with nothing, than you will get 0 ping.

[MindArchon]

However, I replied to it, and it keeps sending 0x25 over and over, and I keep responding over and over. Do i need to send the next packet to get it stop sending it?

[LordNevar]

It does that, so bnet can monitor your latency, and your connection.

[MindArchon]

OK, ill guess ill keep replying.

on the 0x50 return, for NLS revision it returned 0, and on BNLSProtocolSpec it says

If this is zero, the Old Logon System messages (not documented here) will be used.

Anyone know what this is / how to use it?

[MindArchon]

I got it, I just skipped that and went to 0x09.

Im confused, what do I put for Checksum formula. What is it/what does it do?
