2 idea's to improve kore's user experience

[Technology]

Hey guys, check this:

First idea is rather ambitious, but I don't see how else to fix the problem at hand.
Second idea should be tested, polished and at least be mentioned in the guide to find charblocksize imo.

Ok I just got another crazy idea, we could use this entire DB of recvpackets to test the entire kRO ST tree for correct packet lenghts and even TO BE implemented packetswitches etc.

Hmm. As for packets. I hale a complete DB of them, that is RLY Fresh. Some Info is missing, but nothing RLY hard.
(Also an Additional CharBlockSize too).

If you need them to clean up and update kRO ST Tree or add/complete ST0, just PM me, and I'll send you them.
Last packet there is 098F
So it's Pretty Fresh!

Hey, that's awesome EternalHarvest, didn't know that commit existed!
Anyways, ISTR that the packet_db file also contains the names of the binaries where packets got implemented/changed?
unknown binary + packet extractor to get its recvpackets + comparing with recvpackets files of known binaries = servertype finder maybe?

Maybe we should send a patch to rA/eA about 08B9?

Can be done. If anything like that, I'm for empty serverType value for "automatic discovery if possible".

eA doesn't have related server version yet. We can send that to rA.

Or as standalone script, listing the ST's that differ the least from the unknown binary's recvpackets, using the comparison as heuristic.
