Message information: SID_NEWS_INFO (0x46)

Message ID: 0x46 Message Name: SID_NEWS_INFO Direction: Client -> Server (Sent) Used By: All Products Format: Help Hint: Field names highlighted in blue will display a definition if you hover over the text. (DWORD) News timestamp Remarks: Requests news and MOTD from battle.net. The news timestamp specifies the starting date for the news. To retrieve all available news entries, set this to zero. Timestamps are given in C/Unix format -- that is, the number of seconds since January 1, 1970 0:00:00.000 -- and should be biased to UTC. This message should be sent when you recieve SID_ENTERCHAT. The official client stops processing messages after the user joins a game or enters a channel, and discards messages with more than 127 entries. News can be requested for non-Warcraft III products, but Battle.net will only return the server's Message-of-the-Day. However, this behavior has not been observed in official clients, and for an accurate protocol emulation, its use is not recommended.
