Hi all,

Been having some problems over the last 24 hours connecting to BNLS via bnls.valhallalegends.com. I note also that the I'm having similar problems reaching the website valhallalegends.com. Is this a common issue right now, or do I need to look further into it from my end?

Thanks,

Common.

Thanks. And welcome back everyone.

Over the past few days there was a cataclysmic event called "the end of the world". God realized this problem and patched the bug, but not before many lifes were affected horribly by the withdrawls from vL forums and BNLS. Fortunately, God prides himself on fixing it at all -- "Better late than never", he was quoted as saying.

You're going to hell for spreading false prophecies. Repent now.

Wether you guys know it or not, Battle.net is coming to an end very soon. It will only contain gamers, no more idlers.

Battle.net's wish is coming true.

The game has a seperate connection for the chat server. There are multiple game and chat servers. There are not seperate channels, but you can send chat to "world", "gms", "guild", etc. With some creativity im sure you can figure out how to send text to groups of your choice.. maybe even groups not natively supported by the client itself. ;)

It's a pretty weak protocol, as far as protection and anti-emulation attempts go. I don't think emulation clients have even occured to them. The logon process is 3 packets, not counting the occasional ping packet. The first is a version message that you need to reply to. And, to be honest, it doesn't look like the server even cares what you reply with. The second is a logon message. This message uses a modified SHA1 to hash the password, then the username, and then has an algorithm that "mixes" the data from both digests into a single array, which is sent back to the server. The third message is the character select message. This one looks easy, but I haven't had time to get to it yet.

I'm interested in seeing wether or not it's possible to log onto "nonexistant" character ID's, or something along those lines. If the character select message follows the current trend, it should be possible to mess it up somehow. :P

You could use your hosts file to redirect bnls.valhallalegends.com


Set up JBLS http://www.jbls.org/?p=JBLS and put the line "127.0.0.1 bnls.valhallalegends.com"

Sounds cool, I'll download the game and check it out, If i like it, imma get to work, but i'd still like to find somthing thats closer to battle.net's chat server, doesn't matter what games it supports, I am thinkin about possibly trying gamespy again.(heard they kinda got enormus from what they use to be)

[/quote]OR, you could just set it to one of the IPs for the real BNLS server and save yourself a lot of trouble.
All it is is a domain problem.
http://hdx.jbls.org/?p=Servers has a list of all there IPs, along with the ones posted earlier in this thread.
And yes, JBLS does not support lockdown, because I am shit at reversing, thats not going to change so meh. sorry yall use the real server, its made for a reason.
