EQBCS connecting client via telnet
Posted: Wed Aug 28, 2013 12:34 pm
I have an EQBCS server running on custom port and password protected (sits on public Internet). The server supports several people connecting and all is working just fine. I do have a question about connecting to the server via telnet.
Once connected by issuing the command: telnet some.host.com 4444 (example port) a telnet session is connected.
I then send LOGIN:password=telnet_client; (passing in example 'password' and client name)
I have now successfully connected to my eqbcs server via a telnet client. On connect I also see the server response:
NBJOIN=telnet_client
NBCLIENTLIST=toon1 toon2 toon3 toon4 toon5 toon6 (6 example characters currently connected to eqbcs server).
At this point I am able to send commands to any toon I want by typing: toon4 //cast 12 etc
All of this works just fine. My question is how to I retrieve my client list again? Or issuing a disconnect? I have looked at the source code for the command list but am not sure how to issue them. Also when the server sends a PING what is the syntax of sending back a PONG? It's as if the connected client cannot send certain commands. I'm sure I'm missing some syntax here. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
