Development Build 493

This is a beta build with bug fixes from the previous version. This build includes the D2 hotfix.

NOTICE: Some anti-virus software will incorrectly flag StealthBot as malicious. You can view the full virus total report for the EXE associated with this release here. If you are having trouble getting Windows to leave StealthBot alone I would suggest adding the entire install folder (Program Files (x86)\StealthBot 2.7) as an exclusion to Windows Security, see this guide.

For a clean install (no existing StealthBot installation)

1. Download and run the installer.
2. Run the StealthBot Launcher (a shortcut will be placed on your desktop)

To upgrade an existing install

Note: Doing a clean install is recommended. Uninstalling the bot will not cause your profiles to be deleted.

1. Download the included zip file.
2. Extract the contents of the zip file to your bot's install directory (usually in Program Files (x86)\StealthBot 2.7
3. Confirm yes to overwrite any files.

The installer may not correctly update an existing installation.

Changelog

Dev Release 492 - D2 Hotfix

This is a hotfix/patch for using Build 492 with the new Diablo 2 update.

Fixes the error [BNCS] Check revision failed. Sanity check failed.

You must have Build 492 installed before getting this patch!

To install the hotfix:

• Download D2.Hotfix.zip
• Open your bot's install folder (this is usually in C:\Program Files (x86)\StealthBot 2.7 but you can find it by opening the Bot menu, going to View Files and then Open Bot Folder).
• Extract the StealthBot v.2.7.exe from the D2.Hotfix.zip and copy it into the bot's install folder. You may be prompted to confirm administrator credentials, and you'll need to do so.
• Open your bot and make sure it says "D2 Hotfix" in the title bar at the top.
• Set your BNLS server to jbls.davnit.net
• You should now be able to connect.

Also includes the fix for /shitadd and related flag-based wrapper commands. (dfd0dee)

The actual fix for the update is on the BNLS side this release only makes StealthBot compatible with it.

Changelog

• Fix problems with function signatures, resolving some scripting bugs. (9e1c7fa)

• Add configurable channel list cap to channel list in config under UI -> MaxUserlist. Default value is 255, which is the new maximum allowed by Blizzard. The internal channel list is not affected by this cap, only the visible one in the UI. (7f04156)

• Add CheckChatFilter(message, [user]) function to SSC. This returns TRUE if the specified message or user would be filtered from display in the UI, even if the filtering system is disabled. (3c5a5f5)
