Programming Q
 

When EQ logs in your account, and your EQhost.txt is configured to the localserver... How can you pick up the packets EQ is sending...

Or is it comunicating by some other means?

I cant seem to figure it out. I cant seem to figure it out! Please help!

don't know much about packet logging, but it would be the same way you would grab logs of "ping 127.0.0.1"

hmm
 

When I was trying to get the packets, I just opened a socket on 15900, and I also tried 5999, 15901-3.

None worked really, I dont even know if its sending packets....

If someone could be so kind to push me in the right direction )

my point was that localhost was different, I don't know where it gets looped back, but obviously dosn't go out the network card. So I don't know how well packetlogging it works.

I found code on the net...


Dest IP = 127.0.01
Dest Port = 15900

Listen with UDP

...

Now I cant figure out how to Decode, and Parse the packets..

Doh
