Implement the chat gateway protocol

[carlbennett]

It's already added to the configuration window, but doesn't work online.

Turns out it's not even implemented. Nothing happens after it sends 0x03.

Don't you have to send 0x03 0x04 ?

[carlbennett]

0x03 tells bnetd that you want to use the Telnet protocol. 0x04 tells bnetd that you want to disable echoing your input back. Although no custom servers properly handle 0x04 and BNETDocs is lacking in that area.

I have plans to refactor the documentation on the subject.

[madhatr]

I see you are correct, I've changed my bot to just send only 0x03 byte. It connects to emwar servers just fine without the 0x04.

[carlbennett]

Using emNet as a source of truth is asking for trouble. They only just yesterday implemented packet overflow protection. They still don't have UDP support, so clients that actually ask the server for its UDP code instead of always providing 0x74656e62 (bnet if you decode it as a string) will always have the plug icon (like BNRBot).

See also:

• PKT_CONNTEST2
• PKT_SERVERPING
• SID_UDPPINGRESPONSE

emNet doesn't implement these PKTs yet.

This issue should be reverified to see if it's still an issue. There have been changes to the way BNRBot handles Telnet/Chat protocols since the implemenation of Init 6 in #41.
