I thought it said somewhere else you could get on BotNet without this?

You can logon to BotNet without a user account, however a hub account is required.

Hm...BNetDocs isn't too specific, and the protocol specification on the vL main site is vague...

So I don't need to send 0x01, but I need to send 0x0D?

Vice versa.

But don't expect anything to be done anytime soon.

Meh. I can't even update my status without sending 0x01. I thought you (LoRd) wrote a bot (BBBB, I think) that connected to BotNet without a BotID?

While I'm waiting for someone to approve mine (http://bnetdocs.valhallalegends.com/content.php?Section=m&Code=107,  "In order to get a BotID and password, contact Skywing[vL] by visiting Clan [vL] on USEast."), what exactly are databases and the account in 0x0D for? IOW, what is the the difference between the account, the B.net username, and the BotID?

Note: Somebody needs to put the BotNet address and port somewhere so that first-time developers (me) can see it. I had to packetlog a bot with BotNet support just to figure out where to connect.

Perhaps Kp can advise the best course of action for obtaining a hub account?

I've contacted him previously and he said that Skywing was the only one who could issue hub accounts.

Basic Battle.net Binary Bot can log onto the BotNet without a user account.

There are 3 types of BotNet ID's: The hub ID, which is the account that you need to access the BotNet; the user ID, your unique name while on the BotNet and your database ID, which allows you to use the BotNet's database functions.

Don't forget your access to the usage of the database is based on the password you're using to it.

Buy WoW, go to Durotan, and hunt down Skywing or Silmalia. :)

Hm...so there is no way to connect to BotNet without getting prior approval from Skywing?

Go get WebBot, see what it sends (since it's all plain text) then use that or something since it's your only hope

Egh, I was thinking of doing that...

But what do you mean my only hope? There is no way to get an ID?

There's no way to get a hold of Skywing unless you do as Kp said.

Just packetlog a connection from SphtBot :\

Note that if you start piggybacking off somebody else' s BotID, your bot may suddenly fail if the original author has the ID or password of his bot changed.

There should be a packet to request an account that spams Skywing with MSN messages until he reads them :p

[/quote]Or which gives you Skywing's address so you can send him antrax or something if he doesn't give you an account :X
[/quote]Terrorism is not something to be taken lightly.

With that in mind, I'm sure Skywing would enjoy a little ... fun with cold white powder?

But there is no way to get a hold of Skywing to get the ID/pass changed ;)

Meh...I guess I'll just use somebody else's :(.

As I already stated, he can be reached through WoW.  Don't come crying to us when your client suddenly breaks.

[/quote]I have a bot that you can customize it all you want. But the moment you try to use those cusomizations, it breaks. But yeah, those customizations are still more important than trying to fix the bot.
