You know, if you're new to VB I think it would be wise to start with something smaller and less complex than a bot. Of course, you can open up any source and start learning, but as with Yegg and the packet buffer class he used you probably won't understand what's going on with code that's foreign you. For instance, if I'd like to learn German I wouldn't get the German translated version of A Tale of Two Cities and attempt to understand its verb tenses, conjugations, noun declination etc. So I'd probably start off designing small applications, then when you become proficient at using the basic functions, design more complex applications using more of the VBA library. Learning a language is structured and built upon: it cannot be done with one project alone.
By the way, this was not a crack at you being new to VB, it's just a friendly suggestion that I think would help you more in the quest of learning VB.

using a bot tut ~ with csb
and i was wondering
but this is kool shoudl of started vb long time ago

Ugh, utilizing an extremely simple and ready-made-out-of-the-box ActiveX control to "program" a bot is not want I meant!

[Meh]

If u mean how stealthbot gets its own news then it uses i neleave inet.ocx. I tried this but couldnt figure out how to do it.

[Networks]

ew?? INET, I use winsock which seems much better than using ANOTHER active X control. MSDN should help for that.

Well I beleave this is how Stealth does it, if you want to do it that way  you would do this:

Code Select Expand

Dim Bla as string, Bla2() as string, X as integer
Bla = INet.OpenURL("http://www.deadly7.uni.cc/HdxBmx27/EULA.txt")
Bla2 = Split(Bla, VBCrLf)
For x = 0 to UBound(Bla2)
'bla heres some news!
next x
Works perfectly for me, cept ya need to tell it to do something in the loop

As for winsock, what would you do to have it connect to a site?
And is it pobbible to maintain that connection for a long period of time, accessing diffrent files on that site?

LivedKrad, using csb to start is a good idea. That's what i started out with. It gives you a chance to see what visual basic has to offer.

[Warrior]

Yea, and just look how you turned out -.-

[Yegg]

*slaps warrior* shut up noob.

[LivedKrad]

You learned Visual Basic by using CSB? I guess my post here wasn't warranted then:

Anyway, you would make winsock connect to a website using the standard webserver port (mostly 80). Data transfer is the same with webservers just like it is with Battle.net I believe. You send request and header packets to the webserver and the webserver replies with the data requested. You'd just have to do a little more lower-level packet work.

OK coll, I'll try it out on my bot, If i can do this it would be so much easier to do alot of my bot's functiona
If anyone has any other info they know about winsock an websites, please tell me.
