So, as maybe a few of you might now, StarCraft can now login via the new 26 digit cdkeys you'll get from either the Blizzard online store, or newly shipped copies.  I've done a bit of research (Packet logging *cough*) and it follows the old login format.  Anyone have any ideas how the cdkeys are hashed?

Have you *cough* tried using the standard 26-digit hash?

Since you can packet sniff and see the client and server tokens I don't see what the problem is.

Er... when did these come into effect?

Over a month ago or so.  they typically issue them if your cdkey has been wrongfully disabled/muted

hmm, makes sence since they can no longer insure a given cdkey has not already been generated and is not inuse. I'm just wundering, whats the product value for the cdkey?

What I dont get, is how SC accepts these cdkeys, last time I installed it, there wasn't room for anything other than a 13 digit cdkey in the "insert you're cdkey here" box's.

Possible that they simply have a new installer? But that wouldn't help people with older cds. Unless when they issue a new CDKey they also send off a new cd... [Never bothered to try it]
You guys know if the 26 char keys are in retail stores? Wondering if I should run over to freddies and pickup a new copy of SC for the key. [Never hurts to use for testing if ever needed]

As for the decode function. Exactly the same? Or did they move over to the wc3 function?

Ugh... adding support for this would be a real pain... good thing I'm never gonna get around to it!

Starcraft's decode function wouldn't work with anything but a numeric key, so I'm guessing they're using the War3 decoder (Starcraft does have the ability to send War3-style keys to Battle.net, the function it uses is based on a strlen() check).

They have a bittorrent based digital download now if you register your cdkey with your Blizzard account on their website.

Well, that's sure a poor attitude.

Well, thats fun.
Seems to use the same exact function as wc3 keys. Just logged into SC using SphtBot. Which I assume does a Len() to determine it [unless it uses bnls where Im SURE it uses len]
Side note: It's a completely new cdkey, not tied to your orig sc key in any way, AE: you can login to both at the same time.

My bot's set up to be easy to use... meaning it has a specific input type for each game. Makes it a real pain. Luckily, I'm sick of working on it, so it doesn't matter.

Just another reason for faithfully following the original client, which uses length checks. :)

hes referring to his config form. He has the input setup spaced out like the original installers.
AE: 4-3-5 or w/e it was

SC: 4-5-4
D2/W2: 4-4-4-4
W3: 6-4-6-4-6

Oh, and for reference:

26 digit key for Starcraft Anthology (don't ask, i dunno) Public Value:  0x17
26 digit key for D2DV Public Value: 0x18
26 digit key for D2XP Public Value: 0x19

War2 doesn't get 26 digit keys, and I don't know if there's a difference between SC and SC anthology...

Does anyone know if they haven't enabled new Diablo II keys yet? I get wrong product when I try to connect. Starcraft works on the same bot.

[quote]Your new Diablo II game key is valid for online play, and will allow you to download the game when that functionality becomes available.[/quote]

implies that Diablo II keys are valid right now. Maybe not yet?

A quick test says they are not. As as they havent out out a installer that supports 26 chr keys yet. I doubt it will be. It'll probably be activated like a day before they release the installer.

Curious, can more then one 26 chr cdkey be generated from the same SC key?
[they dont seem to be linked beyond inital validation]

Got unlazy and added support for the keys. D2 works just fine for me.

Well I get wrong product using both BNLS and local CD key decoding with my bot. I also get wrong product with SphtBot, which is supposed to work. On the off chance that it actually is the wrong product, I also tested with Starcraft, Warcraft II, and Warcraft III. Same results. Did Blizzard give me bad keys?

Just tested D2 again, the key they gened worked fine for me. [so they enabled it between my last post and this one]
idiat, IM me your key and i'll test it.

If the key you use to get a new key is in use by someone else, the new key is in use, too. They're tied together: the public values are the same. I can't find any correlation between private key values, though.

They must of just changed it. I pointed it out to Marty yesterday.

Do you mean product ID? If not, are the product IDs the same?

[edit] Just tested it; that is indeed the product id. It seems silly to me that the changed it, AFAIK there's no reason they couldn't use the old product id with the 26-character key encoder.

Also, I was able to log in the 26-char and the 11-char SC keys that are supposed to be equivalent at the same time. Tomorrow I'll check if the public/private values are the same.

Ya, sorry. Dunno why I said public value there. The public values are the same as the ones of the keys you give to get the new ones, but the private values... i dunno. And try getting someone else to log in to your 13 (not 11) char SC key and try getting on your 26 char one.

Works for me; didn't work for a friend. My guess is my friend screwed up somehow.

are they the same as the war3 26 digit ckedetys/

Exactly the same in every way. The only differentiation is the product values.

So apparently Taiwanese is no longer available as a language choice for Diablo II. Does anyone have additional information on this?

[quote]Greetings,

You are receiving this e-mail because you recently purchased a copy of either Diablo II, or the expansion Diablo II: The Lord of Destruction. When you claimed the games in your Blizzard account, you were asked to choose a language. In doing so, you selected the option to have the game in Taiwanese. Unfortunately, this option is currently unavailable.

Due to this error we have de-claimed your key. This simply put, means that you will need to "re-claim" your key, choosing a different language. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
