[Feature Analysis] Whisper Details

Hey everyone.
I know how hard it is to code features when you don't have a packet sniffer and such. Not just that, I know that analyzing the packet sniff might be difficult for some who don't know how the data is used. Here's my packet log for whisper details:

Packet Log:

Code:

Packet 1 -- From: TQClient -- Length: 25 | Receive Length: 33 -- Type: 1015
19 00 F7 03 00 00 00 00 1A 01 0C 53 6D 6F 6B 65 ;    �    Smoke
54 68 65 42 6F 6D 62 00 00 54 51 43 6C 69 65 6E ;   TheBomb  TQClien
74                                              ;   t

Packet 3 -- From: TQServer -- Length: 71 | Receive Length: 79 -- Type: 1015
47 00 F7 03 00 00 00 00 1A 02 0C 53 6D 6F 6B 65 ;   G �    Smoke
54 68 65 42 6F 6D 62 2D 34 33 31 39 32 32 36 20 ;   TheBomb-4319226 
31 32 37 20 32 32 39 20 23 53 95 54 95 41 95 52 ;   127 229 #S•T•A•R
95 53 20 23 20 46 65 6D 6D 65 2E 46 61 74 61 6C ;   •S # Femme.Fatal
65 20 30 20 31 00 00 54 51 53 65 72 76 65 72    ;   e 0 1  TQServer

My analysis:
The client sends a string update packet (1015) to the server that includes the character's name in a string. The server then sends back a string packet as a response that includes the character's name in one string and the character's details in another (separated by spaces). After some investigation, you can't send the string packet with whisper data unless the client requests it.

Picture:
(I put none in the guild and clan slots just to show you that values appear there in the interface)

These are a fantastic idea, You don't give them the answer, but you give enough for them to figure it out.

This will help some for sure :)

Nice read, good work.

A lot of public sources contains that packet structured and ready to be copy pasted/edited/reused.... The old hellmouth source contained/handled it if i'm not mistaken or at least its structure.

He's just doing it for the beginners who just really want to look at an un-structured packet, and how it looks like ,etc, and then maybe compare it with the structured one, to understand more about packets, and to be able to do more packets themselves, etc :P.

Actually... this isn't really teaching anybody... advanced coders can sniff it/analyze it/structure it and use it all by them self... and a none advanced coder will look at the bunch of bytes that fang pasted and say WTF i don't understand shit... how does it work and why does look like that fang plz coding it to me i'll bay you mony...

Whatever :P

Well, I learned how to do my first ever packet by looking at a hex dump and just trying to understand stuff, took me like 4 hours to understand what the fuck was that, but yeah, I still learned and understood how it works, etc.
So yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm not just talking about myself only when I say this is going to help some people D:.
But everyone got their own opinions which I don't even dare to question, so meh, everybody can believe in what they want, I'm not saying I'm correct and you're wrong, or vice versa, so yeah. :).

I'm not alone :P, all it takes is motivation and time, for anybody to learn anything.

You're such a prick some times Angelius. Stop insulting the forum's newcomers. There are people who know how to code and have never seen this before either. Helpful to you or not, I posted this because I knew it would help a few people understand it.

In some way I agree with Angelius, but miracles happen everywhere.

I don't understand any thing.
