Greetings,

I was wondering if there is any documentation for chat bots? I have tried to search, but you can imagine how many hits I ended up with while searching for chat docs.

Thanks for any hints/tips,

Did you try the search button here on the site? Or a search engine? If you tried the site, are you really too lazy to sift through whatever matches you come up with? However, as always you may want to start here with the CSB tutorial, which is probably the simplest route for a new programmer, at least it was for myself. Also, once *Arta* gets BNetDocs back online those are a useful resource.

I am not sure if anyone has documented it, because it is such a simple interface. Use Telnet to connect to a server (example: useast.battle.net) on port 6112. In Windows 2000/XP type: open useast.battle.net 6112. After connected, press Ctrl+C then you can log on to your Battle.net account. Your programmed chat bot would connect to the Battle.net server, then can go ahead and send everything which you do in Telnet automatically. After logged on, you will get to see the interface event messages.

Good luck.

I have developed a chat bot using C++ (on linux) I plan on giving it to a couple buddies so they can learn also (not programming just the protocol) ... but I was just wanting to add in some battle.net docs if they were available instead of making them myself ... evidentally not.

You can just call telnet useast.battle.net 6112 if you're lazy like me. :)

There *were*

Try googling for greetbot.

FYI, I put a mirror of it up here shortly after they took it down.
