WoW Base component build

[BoogieManTM]

Heya,

Anyone have any idea what the 'wow base' component is? and what it's current build # is? This is related to battle.net authentication

here's an older version to show that it does not line up with wow's build#:

"WoW", "Win", 10505
"WoW", "base", 10468
"WoW", "enUS", 10505
"Tool", "Win", 1374
"Bnet", "Win", 13590

Win/enUS = wow build
Tool = Launcher build
Bnet = Battle.net.dll build

What's base?

I looked at it fairly quickly; but it seems it's just the component build #. (Check Patch-x.MPQ for component.wow-data.txt)

Contents:

<componentinfo format="1">
    <component name="wow-data" version="11723" />
</componentinfo>

Current ver seems to be 11723 according to the exe, and the above file.

Seems WoW just loads the XML and grabs the 'version' string from it then does a compare to see if it matches.

Check the function at 0x95C610 (the only actual call that uses the 'base' string that I could find)

hmm, something is definitely not matching up. time to rip apart some packet dumps I guess. thanks Apoc!
