I remember seeing a function to decompress packets recieved from a D2 game, but a search is yielding nothing (I think it must have been on the old board). I'd like to go back and work on parsing game stuff, so if someone could repost it, it would be great.

..Huh? What does this forum and its contents have to do with Valhalla Legends? Yes, the forum is hosted by the clan, but topics would never be removed because "the clan doesn't want anyone to have it." The forum is moderated by a 'botdev' community standard that is not based on vL rules, but is based on general guidelines enforced throughout botdev's existance. See forum guidelines as to why posts would get deleted.

It was deleted, I guess vL didn't want people to have the source to it. Oh well, that source wasn't complete anyways. I still have it in a .cpp somewhere with all the bad carriage returns removed.

The source was complete, in fact, I use it. You just had to figure out how to use it properly.

Oh it will work... I am not saying it doesn't. But it will not be able to decompress all packets.

What do you mean "will not be able to decompress all packets"?

A seach for 'decompress', with a max age of 200 days turned it up.

[/quote]Many of the versions of the D2GS packet decompressor floating around had problems when presented with certain types of messages (they'd decompress them wrong and lose their place in the packet stream). I don't know if that particular one works correctly, however.
