Cannot Connect to BNLS :(

[J.R.]

I am using a bot that uses CleanSlateBot to connect to BNLS but when I attempt to connect, nothing happens i.e. BNLS cannot be connected to at all. I have been using this bot for a very long time and it is only in the past week that this is happening, and I don't note any changes on Battle.net during this particular time. Has anybody else experienced the same problem or know what is going on?

Cheers,
J.R.

d I don't note any changes on Battle.net during this particular time

Why would that even matter? Your problem obviously is with BNLS

[Skywing]

Oh how I love application backwards compatibility.

This should be fixed sometime in the near future.

Warrior: Don't blame a guy for being a bit tired when writing his post That said, although I'm (user-side) technically competent I'm not a genius, so touche.

Skywing: Does that mean the problem is not my end? Just out of curiosity, can the problem be expressed in a simple enough nature so that you could describe it to me quickly and I can hope I'll learn something from it?

i believe either BNLS.ValhallaLegends.com or ValhallaLegends.com currently is not working as a BNLS Server address.  Clean Slate Bot uses one of those two server's.  I am not sure if that's what he meant, however that's what i think.

[Skywing]

CSB uses www.valhallalegends.com which is at present not setup for BNLS connections.

Is there anywhere in particular I am able to change my BNLS server without having to dive into the source code of CleanSlateBot? I take it that it's not as easy as opening up the .ocx in Notepad and editing it Does anybody mind writing a short guide?

Sorry again but thanks.

again, i think bnls would b better.

Aside from JR and Skywing, I really do not see a coherent point to any other messages posted in this thread.

JR: No, there is not any way to change the BNLS server short of modifying the source, as I recall (although I could be wrong).  I Google'd, but was not able to find ocx_me.txt, which was the file Cuphead wrote as a tutorial for CSB.

Sorry!

[J.R.]

Thanks MyndFyre...I basically need to find the file ocx_me.txt which teaches me how to modify the source and change my BNLS server then?

[Stealth]

It won't help you modify the source. It is, however, a very good resource to have, along with his other HTML-based readme. I've put them both you for your reading pleasure at http://stealthbot.net/misc/ .

[J.R.]

Stealth: Thanks! I am actually reading both of them and if anything they are very educational reads (no sarcasm). However I'm still stuck without BNLS access which means I can't use my bot On the bright side I now know what OCX does!

[J.R.]

Unfortunately no update for BNLS has been released yet so I am still unable to use the bot...does anybody know when it will be updated? *puts on his best pretty face*

You could map www.valhallalegends.com in your hosts file to point to th proper server.

Right now, the addresses are:

iago@Slayer:~$ host www.valhallalegends.com
www.valhallalegends.com has address 168.215.185.2
iago@Slayer:~$ host bnls.valhallalegends.com
bnls.valhallalegends.com has address 63.161.183.202

You'll want to edit your hosts file, which can be found at:
C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts on Windows
or
/etc/hosts on Linux (just to compare )

You'll want to add the line:

63.161.183.202    www.valhallalegends.com

I'm not 100% sure that that'll work, but give it a try and let me know.

The other alternative is not using CSB, it's too restricting

[hismajesty]

Cuphead released the CSB source code (I think) some time ago, it should be in one of these forums. Denial posted it iirc. Just edit/recompile that.

Edit: http://forum.valhallalegends.com/phpbbs/index.php?topic=8607.0

Edit2: That's not the same CSB as you're using, but maybe it'll help anyway. It's the one that was under development. I opened it up to see if it was right, hrm oh well.*shrug*
