hi any 1 know how i would find out what the right key to cent to the server file is ?

The sl.dta is encrypted with a custom algo, the "key" is the "start-key" to decrypt it

the algo is simple:

            For i As Integer = 0 To count - 1
                bTemp = br.ReadByte // read encrypted byte
                buf(i) = bTemp - Key // decrypt it into a buffer
                Key = bTemp // use next key
            Next i

i see so its just to do with the sl.dta and not with canting to the loging server?

Yep, the only things that get sent to the loginserver is username, password, and client version.

You can use my IPTool to view or edit the version, vtm.brn holds the client version in a integer value. From the looks of it the loginserver doesn't check version at all, the gameserver does. When you login to lastchaos the client sends the login packet twice, once to the loginserver. Then the loginserver sends the server list packet. Then once you join a server channel, the client sends the login packet again, to authenticate you with the gameserver. So blocking people version wise via the gameserver doesn't seem possible unless you use a custom loginserver like mine.
