For users that originally performed a 'Full Installation' and wish to run without the CD, all '.MPQ' files should be copied from the Diablo 2 CDs to the Diablo 2 directory....http://www.bnetdocs.org/?op=news&nid=52http://www.bnetdocs.org/?op=news&nid=51Server move has been completed. And to save Hdx the effort of having to re-edit the packets/documents, I took the liberty of making another copy from the older server and moved it here. So it's all up to date. :-) Thanks for your patience during the transfer!http://www.bnetdocs.org/?op=news&nid=51http://www.bnetdocs.org/?op=news&nid=49 In light of the frequent downtimes we've been experiencing lately, I've procured a new server and will be moving all domains/customers to that new server. What this means for BNETDocs is some downtime. This is due to DNS propagation, which will take up to 24 hours, depending on your ISP. This also includes the BNLS redirection server. I apologize for any inconvenience, but believe me, this is the best course as I believe in reliability. If there are any issues and you're unable to report...http://www.bnetdocs.org/?op=news&nid=49http://www.bnetdocs.org/?op=news&nid=48Been quite busy with work, apologies! LordVader, Leaky, and I have all been quite busy with work. [Edited on 12-25-07] Merry Christmas! [Edited on 1-1-08] Happy New Year's! Still working on the new version of BNETDocs. :)http://www.bnetdocs.org/?op=news&nid=48http://www.bnetdocs.org/?op=news&nid=47 Vivendi Games and Activision have merged into a single company called Activision Blizzard. While the name has Blizzard in it, make no mistake, Vivendi Games is the parent company of Blizzard, and while the name has 'Blizzard' in it, it is Vivendi Games that has merged. Blizzard posted on their forums to the effect of saying that there will be no changes to their games, their staff, their offices, nor their development teams. Blizzard Entertainment will continue to function as a division --...http://www.bnetdocs.org/?op=news&nid=47http://www.bnetdocs.org/?op=news&nid=45 I just checked the stats for the visits to BNETDocs, what I saw was interesting. Here's a list of unique visits per nationality for the month of October: 1. United States 352 2. Germany 63 3. Australia 53 4. Canada 46 5. Hungary 27 6. Poland 7 7. France 4 8. Mexico 4 9. Netherlands 3 10. Norway 3 Personally, I was surprised to see Germany ranked second in most visits. If you're a visitor from one of the countries where English isn't the main language, my apologies...http://www.bnetdocs.org/?op=news&nid=45http://www.bnetdocs.org/?op=news&nid=44There was a server crash while I was conducting maintenance, and the backup file got corrupt. Fortunately, I had an older copy of backup. So with the assistance of Leaky, I was able to do a full server wipe and restore. So if you see anything that's broken, point it out so I can fix it! I've created a document called 'To Fix', so post a comment there so I can get the heads up. http://www.bnetdocs.org/?op=news&nid=44http://www.bnetdocs.org/?op=news&nid=43Users now can comment on packets and documents. Editors and administrators also now have ability to delete comments. Enjoy.http://www.bnetdocs.org/?op=news&nid=43http://www.bnetdocs.org/?op=news&nid=42 CSS Themes will be now rendered as external CSS files rather than internal. What this means for you is that if you make use of one of the pre-set themes, such as the Dark Redux theme, and changes are made to it, your CSS Theme will automatically reflect the changes. However, due to the old CSS system, users' CSS Themes were saved as internal CSS, so if you'd like to switch over to the current CSS pre-set Themes and have your CSS pre-set Theme automatically reflect the changes, just go to CSS...http://www.bnetdocs.org/?op=news&nid=42http://www.bnetdocs.org/?op=news&nid=38 (08/22/07) Usually, if you connected to battle.net via a bot emulating Starcraft, you'd be disconnected for failure to properly respond to the 0x5E Warden packet. It appears that that very packet has been muted for now, so people can connect to battle.net via bots emulating the Starcraft game client. There is currently no estimate on how long the packet will remain muted. I've run tests, and am able to confirm the packet has indeed been muted. (08/29/07) Edit: The 0x5E Warden packet...http://www.bnetdocs.org/?op=news&nid=38http://www.bnetdocs.org/?op=news&nid=37 StarCraft was patched to 1.15.1, information on known changes to StarCraft below. No verbyte change. The new offset for the byte to change for No-CDs to work on battle.net is 0x1502F6FB as reported by Andy. ------------------------------- Patch 1.15.1 ------------------------------- Bug Fixes - Fixed a replay saving bug that occasionally crashed games. - Fixed a bug where the map download progress was not shown. - Pressing alt-f4 while in Starcraft and logged into a league now...http://www.bnetdocs.org/?op=news&nid=37http://www.bnetdocs.org/?op=news&nid=36 I have news for those who make use of the redirective domain of bnls.dementedminds.net. For those who prefer a short and sweet/simple notice: The service is upgraded to be 100% automated, and no longer manually redirected. For those who like details: I originally was updating the domain to redirect to the next available bnls system manually, as a result, if a server went down, there'd be a considerable delay before I found out about it being down, and updated it to redirect to another...http://www.bnetdocs.org/?op=news&nid=36http://www.bnetdocs.org/?op=news&nid=29 Game: Starcraft, Starcraft: BroodWar Version: 1.15 VerByte: 0xD1 Archive: SEXP_IX86_114_115.mpq ------------------------------------------------- - Patch 1.15.0 ------------------------------------------------- Feature Changes - Approved organizations can now operate StarCraft leagues. See http://www.battle.net. - Replays are automatically saved as LastReplay.rep. Bug Fixes - Fixed a bug that allowed burrowed units to be stacked.

Bot developers may now use it for requesting fast version checks on all supporting products. At this time, Diablo II, WarCraft III, and their expansions do not make use of the latest updates. The documentation has been updated with BNLS messages BNLS_VERSIONCHECKEX and BNLS_VERSIONCHECKEX2 to support the changes.http://www.bnetdocs.org/?op=news&nid=5http://www.bnetdocs.org/?op=news&nid=4 As most of you will know, Blizzard recently updated their Checkrevision procedure for WarCraft II, StarCraft, Brood War, Diablo I and StarCraft Shareware. This new method, dubbed "Lockdown", is considerably more complex then the previous ix86ver method which is still used by other Battle.net-enabled products. We fully intend to update BNETDocs with as much information about Lockdown as possible, however, much of this material has not yet been made public. BNETDocs has always relied on information...http://www.bnetdocs.org/?op=news&nid=4http://www.bnetdocs.org/?op=news&nid=3Yes, we're still here for those of you who still wander across the documents. Just last night and this morning I had updated many of our already existing packets with more information/better descriptions/correctness, etc. It sure has been quiet around here, but trust me, BNETDocs still lives :)http://www.bnetdocs.org/?op=news&nid=3http://www.bnetdocs.org/?op=news&nid=2Most of the packets have been updated for patch version 1.11. However, I'm still counting on the public to comment in any way, shape or form on the accuracy of the information.http://www.bnetdocs.org/?op=news&nid=2http://www.bnetdocs.org/?op=news&nid=1Sorry guys for the late post on this, but just to keep everyone informed: sometime last week a patch was released for StarCraft and Brood War. BNETDocs and BNLS have been updated for the changes.http://www.bnetdocs.org/?op=news&nid=1
