Anyone know of a site that has info on packets being sent and received when joining a game in sc? Or perhaps if it's not that much, then someone could simply explain it to me?

Why don't you packet log it?

I got enough of what I needed from a friend, but for future references..what's one of the better free packet loggers?

Boo! Get WPE Pro...Try http://fly.to/mtc

WPE Pro can't even see lots of packets.

i see everything i need using it

You != everyone!
Also, try logging Warcraft 3 with it. It tends to not show half the stuff.

doesn't show the recieved data on w3, and it doesn't show recieved data on bots made in C++ either, but oh well

I seriously doubt whether the program is written in C++ or some other language has anything to do with WPE not properly displaying everything.

I suspect the real problem is that it doesn't support things like ReadFileEx on a socket handle or other high performance overlapped techniques.

I suspect that you suspected correctly.
