[Question] Client Side Registration

[Sufursky]

Hi, sorry for bad english in advance.
I've made frame for account creation and now i don't know, how i should send those informations to auth server through client.
Is there some possible way to do or i have to send it to php script?

Thanks for your ideas.
Regards, Sufursky.

I have the same, when the "create" button is pressed, I call this code:

function CreateAccountFinal(self)
	CreateAccountFrame:Hide();
	local username = AccountNameEditBox:GetText();
	local password = AccountPasswordEditBox:GetText();
	local cpassword = AccountPasswordConfirmEditBox:GetText();
	
	if ( password ~= cpassword ) then
		GlueDialog_Show("REALM_TOURNAMENT_WARNING", "Account creation failed.\n\rPasswords do not match.", nil);
		return;
	elseif ( strlen(username) < 3 or strlen(username) < 5 or strfind(username, "[^%w]") or strfind(password, "[^%w]") ) then
		GlueDialog_Show("REALM_TOURNAMENT_WARNING", "Account creation failed.\n\rOnly alphanumerical characters (A-Z, 0-9) allowed!", nil);
		return;
	end
	
	local info = table.concat({"?", username, "?", password, "?"});
	CreateAccountReply = true;
	DefaultServerLogin(info, tostring(math.random(1, 100000)));
end

The server listens for a username/password beginning with ?. It runs some verification and if all passes, it creates the account. It responds with a error code depending upon how far it gets.

The bool that I flag as true makes the error messages on login display differently if it is true. This way I can create custom error messages for account creation.

Thank you for that perfect idea, but is there a way to send account info with email together?
If i've set info like:
local info = table.concat({"?", username, "?", password, "?", email, "?"});
client automaticaly starts downloading WoW-x.x.x.x-4.0.0.12911-Downloader
I can't explain myself why, because i have no patching implemented.

If it is patching on login then you have not adjusted your realmlist or are trying to login with an email.

My server side code:

	// Clear the shitty hash (for server)
	string AccountName = (char*)&m_challenge.I;
	if (AccountName.substr(0, 1) == "?")
	{
		if (AccountName.find_first_not_of("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789?") != string::npos)
		{
			LOG_ERROR("[AuthChallenge]: Tried to create account with illegal characters.");
			SendChallengeError(CE_NO_ACCOUNT); //Well **** you for editing the files!
			return;
		}

		int pass_start = AccountName.find("?", 1) + 1;
		if (pass_start < 4) //No username
		{
			LOG_ERROR("[AuthChallenge] Tried to create account with no account name.");
			SendChallengeError(CE_NO_ACCOUNT);
			return;
		}

		int pass_end = AccountName.rfind("?");
		if (pass_end <= pass_start) //No password
		{
			LOG_ERROR("[AuthChallenge] Tried to create account with no password.");
			SendChallengeError(CE_NO_ACCOUNT);
			return;
		}

		int name_len = pass_start - 2;
		int pass_len = pass_end - pass_start;
		string username = AccountName.substr(1, name_len);
		string password = AccountName.substr(pass_start, pass_len);

		m_account = AccountMgr::getSingleton().GetAccount(username);
		if (m_account != 0)
		{
			LOG_ERROR("[AuthChallenge] Account creation failed: account name already taken.");
			SendChallengeError(CE_ACCOUNT_IN_USE);
			return;
		}

		string cmd = username + " " + password + " none"; //Prepare command for CreateAccount
		char acct[50];

		memcpy(acct, cmd.c_str(), 50); //CreateAccount doesn't take const char*
		LogonConsole::getSingleton().CreateAccount(acct);
		SendChallengeError(CE_SERVER_FULL); //Success!
		LOG_BASIC("[AuthChallenge] Client %s has created an account with name: \"%s\"", GetRemoteIP().c_str(), username.c_str());
		return;
	}

You would add email by adding it to the table with a question mark, then having the server side code look for the next question mark.

Thanks for help mate. I realized that email is not so important to know.
