robotbob Report post Posted October 24, 2006 (edited) Hello, After an hour of work, my bot now log ins, and can respond to pms. The whitepaper is coming right along side it. (Its logins, has a message que and sends heartbeat packets) And now for my question: Is the bot required to send replies to ping requests do you have to send a version packet (I assume the same as the current client) I need for both the bot and an the whitepaper, the expected behavoirs of the bot. I am assuming I must fully emulate the el client short of the graphical handling. I have read the el client source in depth, but obviously it can't answer this question. Thanks in advance, robotbob (eric) Edited October 24, 2006 by robotbob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robotbob Report post Posted October 24, 2006 the version packet is not necessary. You did manage to log in without it, right? Yes. I was able to log in without a problem and persist the bot's connection without it. Good. I am glad to hear its not needed. I presumed it was only used for keeping client version up to date and disconnect and redirecting old version of the client. So it seems I only need to login and send heartbeat packets (I am using the clients numbers of 25 second intervals) to keep them bot alive. Perhaps I could implement the ping section to judge the bot's latency. robotbob (eric) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
