Okay, I wanted to do something similar to Ringo's SCGS Bot. However, I have a couple of questions =o


Okay, I saw on bnetdocs.com that it says 0x09 is used by every other client other then Warcraft III... So I went along and packet logged the game request in warcraft III and noticed that it was also using 0x09..

I'm kind of thrown off...

ADVLISTEX is only used for custom games in W3.

I know but how come it hasn't been updated on bnetdocs?

Cause bnetdocs is hella ignored. It's not that it's not been updated, it's that no one cares to check every single packet to make sure the games that use the packet is correct.

Alrighty, well I think what needs to be sent is dramatically different from the other clients. Can you help break it down?

Nope. My only war3 key is always in use.

Damn.. well then anyone?

Alright, well at first I was kind of worrying that the packet was based on the session key but never mind, I was looking at something else...

At least I know now what needs to be sent is static... obviously.

Hey there,

I'd gladly help you with this project!

Yeah, looks shitty but it works for now. Now im trying to figure out a way to get the game names extracted from the enormous packet battle.net sends you.

Chris, i'm working on a way to parse and display the D1 game listing; it's the same thing. I'm semi-done with it, i'll post it up when i'm done. (sometime in the next day or two, got work and finals)

Didn't I already post D1 game list code on this site somewhere?

[/quote]

Not that i'm seeing. Though I somewhat figured it out with a quick packetlog. I need to go back and packetlog D1 again so I can see what is used to separate the games, because there's no null char in between like there is with channels.

I was also trying to get the Custom Games list for WC3. However, when I tried sending a packet based on the documentation of SID_GETADVLISTEX, it failed.

Next go, I copied the packet that WC3 (W3XP) sent to Battle.net, and tried sending that. However, when I got the response it alwys said that there were 14 games, and it provided less game information sets than 14! Why is this the case ?

EDIT: I did the exact same thing as Punk in the first post =/

EDIT: I tried the thing Punk posted, but I got the same result again :(

EDIT: I just noticed that after received the SID_GETADVLISTEX packet, I get 4 more seperate packets with no standard header, also with game listings. I'm confused now! :( Why aren't I getting these packets all in one? 3 of the packets are 536 bytes, except the last one which is 525 bytes.

EDIT: Now it keeps saying there are 20?

EDIT: So they're split into 536-byte segments, but how do I tell how many segments there are?

EDIT: I think the first segment is like a standard packet (with the header), and has the entire length value, but they're just split into the 536-byte segments from the next packet. How would I go about getting all the packets?

I'm not sure if this has been said or not, but 0x09 pretty much always follows the same format:
(DWORD) Number of games
For each game
    DWORD[8]
    STRING game name
    STRING Game password
    STRING Game desc

Should be pretty quick and easy to just read each game name string.
hope this helps

Well I've finally got my function to get the game names working (even though it was surprisingly long....)

However does anyone know how to interpret the statstrings? It shows up on my program like:

I found this: http://bnetdocs.com/?op=doc&did=13
But I don't understand how the different values are seperated? Should I interpret this as a string, or should I interpret it as bytes?

The delimiter is a comma, it's all one string.

I can't see a comma though.. (nor can I find one)

Perhaps only the Starcraft statstrings are comma-delimited?

You have to decode War3's map data:

[code]Public Function DecodeMapData(ByVal Encoded As String, ByRef Decoded As String) As Long
Dim enc()  As Byte
Dim dec()  As Byte
Dim I      As Long
Dim J      As Long
Dim D      As Byte
Dim lngLen As Long
  enc = strConv(Encoded, vbFromUnicode)
  For I = 0 To UBound(enc)
    If (I Mod 8) Then
      ReDim Preserve dec(lngLen)
      dec(lngLen) = (enc(I) And ((RShift(D, 1 + J) Or Not 1)))
      J = J + 1
      lngLen = lngLen + 1
    Else
      J = 0
      D = enc(I)
    End If
  Next I
  Decoded = strConv(dec, vbUnicode)
  DecodeMapData = lngLen
End Function[/code]

There's no vbFromUnicode in VB.Net =/
Could you explain to be how the statstring is encoded, so I can try to make a decoding function myself?

Hmm, I didn't bother to count the games...

Did you already resolve the packets without headers? If not, what about just assigning the packets based on there data content. Get the map values and if they are valid, send to the 0x09 buffer... In fact, you don't even need to decrypt the map values, you can just do something like this.

if datalen >= 300 and instr(data, "w3m") then parse0x09(data)

I guess something along those lines would work seeing how "w3m" appears in each statstring.

I still have the question on splitting the data up into segments. I've tried finding a method in which I could get the game name and I think I might have found a sloppy way...

Go through the buffer, parse the game values into Andy's W3 map decoder and if the value is good, then the string previous to the map data will be the map name.

Battle.Net sends you 20 games every time you request a games list I think..

Btw, for your unicode question...

http://www.xtremedotnettalk.com/showthread.php?t=84659

Maybe that will help.

It's not my map decoder... https://davnit.net/bnet/vL/index.php?topic=15419.0

Don't use my idea on relating split packets with one another by the "w3m" string. It varies.

What does RShift() do? Can someone post the code here? EDIT: Nevermind, found it.

Why does the function always just return three random characters? The characters are the same depending on the game, but they just seem random. Did I do something wrong?

I modifed the function slightly and made it return the decoded string directly. Please tell me if something is wrong:

[code]    Public Function DecodeMapData(ByVal Encoded As String) As String
        Dim enc() As Byte
        Dim dec() As Byte
        Dim I As Long
        Dim J As Long
        Dim D As Byte
        Dim lngLen As Long
        enc = System.Text.UnicodeEncoding.Unicode.GetBytes(Encoded)
        For I = 0 To UBound(enc)
            If (I Mod 8) Then
                ReDim Preserve dec(lngLen)
                dec(lngLen) = (enc(I) And (D >> (1 + J) Or Not 1))
                J = J + 1
                lngLen = lngLen + 1
            Else
                J = 0
                D = enc(I)
            End If
        Next I
        Return System.Text.UnicodeEncoding.Unicode.GetString(dec)
    End Function[/code]
Does the length matter?
