Battle.net Plugin for libpurple

A work-in-progress plugin to login and send whispers to Battle.net v2 (a.k.a. Blizzard App) users.

This plugin is written by Eion Robb using protobufs from the python-bnet repo. GPLv3+ licensed.

Login Tips

When you login from Pidgin, make sure you're already logged in to the https://battle.net/ website. Your browser window should complain about "The webpage at http://localhost:0/?ST=... can't be reached" which is the correct response; you want to copy-paste the ST=... part of the URL into the Pidgin popup window.

If instead you see a broken login screen with a blue button that says "Log in to Blizzard" then open the developer tools (Ctrl+Shift+i) and run document.getElementById('login-input-container').className = ''

Compiling

You'll need development packages for libpurple, glib and libprotobuf-c to be able to compile.

Debian/Ubuntu

Run the following commands from a terminal

#!sh
sudo apt-get install libpurple-dev libglib2.0-dev libprotobuf-c-dev protobuf-c-compiler git make;
git clone https://github.com/EionRobb/purple-battlenet/ && cd purple-battlenet;
make && sudo make install

Windows

Development builds of Windows dll's live at https://eion.robbmob.com/libbattlenet.dll (you'll also need libprotobuf-c-1.dll in your Pidgin folder)
