Packet Information


Message ID:0x66
  
Message Name:SID_FRIENDSUPDATE
  
Direction:Server -> Client (Received)
  
Used By:Starcraft Broodwar, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, Starcraft, Warcraft III
  
Format:(BYTE) Entry number
(BYTE) Location
(BYTE) Status
(DWORD) ProductID
(STRING) Location
  
Remarks:Sent to clients supporting this packet when the friendlisted account's Status or Location changes. The first friend is always entry 0.

Note that there is a Battle.net server bug in which when you are automatically sent this packet, the Product ID is your own Product ID instead of your friend's. So if you were to be using WAR3, for example, and a friend signs on using SEXP, the Product ID in this packet will be WAR3. To receive the *correct* Product ID for the user, you may request another update for this user (by sending 0x66 back to the server with the same Entry Number), or request the full list again.

In addition, this packet is not sent to you automatically if the friendship is not mutual.

The order of Friend Location and Friend Status should be flipped.
