bot protocol change... kinda

Recommended Posts

Well... i dont know how many other bots had this issue, but the server used to accept a 16 bit value as a 32 bit value...

 

You used to be able to send 5 bytes in the Put item for trade (36) message(use a 16 bit amount). No longer. Now you MUST use a 32 bit amount which means you have to send 7 bytes.

 

Just thought you should know. It's now just ignoring 16 bit values that were not in the protocol to begin with, but used to work nonetheless.

Anyone that had been using 16 bits in the past was at risk for being scammed if lots of gc was involved (specially with bots that made change). The changed over to 32 bit for bots should have been done a long time ago.

Yeah, after the server change i had to modify the packet size for certain transactions. Our code used to send whatever size fit the amount of gc's we wanted to put up.

 

Ent mentioned bug fixes in the release, so i assumed this was one of them.
