[Help] Messaging packet version 5630+

[Super Aids]

Are you writing TQServer at the end of the packet?

Specifying offsets is easy at small packets, but it tends to be a pain in the *** in very large packets.

Make a parser for it then like you paste the structure in a textfile, let's a program parse that file and spit out the structure with valid c# code.

As you can see in my dump: Yes.


I write it behind every packet, encrypt it and send it to the socket system

I much prefer specifying offsets explicitly rather than using a stream, especially when you have a packet with a lot of unknowns.

JobvdH you have last packet sniffer 56700+?

[JobvdH]

Ehh no if I would have it wouldn't make this thread heh?

If I recall, the size written in the packet shouldn't include the TQServer at end. Obviously your buffer needs enough room, but 0x49 should be the size of the packet without the TQServer (0x41).

This is correct ^.

[JobvdH]

So that means remove 8 length from the packet.
And when I send the packet to the sockets I should add TQServer and add 8 bytes to the array?

[Super Aids]

Yes.

This is how I do it:

				using (var sendPacket = new DataPacket(new byte[Packet.BufferLength + 8]))
				{
					sendPacket.WriteBytes(Packet.Copy(), 0);
					sendPacket.WriteString("TQServer", sendPacket.BufferLength - 8);
					NetworkClient.Send(sendPacket);
				}

You should modify it so you don't have to manually specify +/- 8 in the length for the bytes

Or even just have a method sendPacket.Seal();

Just seems alot less messy imo

Doesn't really matter if I do it in a "Seal method" or in the send method.

Just thought it looks messy lol

How do you find 3 lines messy? Or rather 2 lines.
