I didn't think anyone else cared :)

Of course every time I get an update from CVS to fix my bot the offset is wrong and needs fixing :p

There are definite theoretical improvements in the design, ie combining small packets together and compression that make sense (these were in place before Jan. 28)

However running each opcode...

Well things have been down long enough to start annoying me so I started looking into the recent changes in the data stream processing code.

After a couple of hours I was able to find the relavant...

It seems like every week one of these posts pops up about how easy it is :)

I guess it's unavoidable, maybe someone should just sticky a FAQ here or something.

Yes of course...

But since the coding is symetric you should be able to run the algorythm with any base key value, get a result, determine how the byte(s) in the final resultant are different...

Just a thought...

I presume someone is looking into finding enough static information in the packet to be able to formulate the required decode key. I realize that the only data to work with now...

Been doing this for years (litteraly) running my bot

Simple fix to this is to ignore delta values in spawn update when the animation code is 0x42

While the code and platforms may be different, the messages packets and meanings are the same. So I figured I would ask here...and I think I have it figured out.

It's the so called animation byte...

Hmmm Ratt, have you tried watching a roaming mob going from standing still to moving to see if there is any latency ever, it might also be a zone related issue since I recall quite a bit of lag /...

Bah, that's not it, in fact it makes it worse :)

Further checking versus the direction angle and turn velocity for subequent records in the same packet indicates the later ones are more accurate....

For a while now, it has been a minor annoyance when the mobs start/stop moving on the eq client before or after the seq map shows them doing so. It is never too crucial, a second or two delay at...

Looks like a new special message code added (perhaps hard coded client side messages since no text was attached)

SpecialMessage2 0x3522

Seen on Invoke fear wearing off, and out of range when...

Bah, can't get this into a table

Tesing results

2 chars both level 60 grouped

Spilt 80% for char 1 and 70% for char 2

Mob Level, Lev Exp 1, Alt Exp 1, Lev Exp 2, Alt Exp 2
46,0,1,0,1

I think Jeeves has my point now.

Of course the raw required exp numbers for an alt point and a level are going to be different and you wouldn't expect the total adjusted to 330 scale alt advances...

Well actually the server is sending the total alt exp at that time out of 330, the delta I am calculating myself off of the last value sent.

Other than that, I agree entirely...which is why I was...

I added code to pick up the alt exp packets (opcode 0x2322) and have been watching my exp gains (in increments of x out of 330). Duoing and killing the same mobs for 100s of times, my exp would look...
