Here is a list of found parameters for further analysis: param-of-server-gpcm.list (3.8 MB text file)

The Wiimmfi GPCM server adds some more records to the stream:

Parameter Lists

The following parameter lists have been found yet. The name of the first parameter is used as caption. See PARAM-STRING for the protocol and the naming convention.

addbuddy

If adding a user either by entering the friend code or by clicking the »New Friend« button in a room, the client send this message: 

    addbuddy =
     sesskey = <sesssion_key>
newprofileid = <profile id>
      reason =
       final /

The server replies a bm=4 list on success or a error list on faulure.

authadd

Client sends: 

authadd,sesskey=,fromprofileid=,sig=,final

bm

The parameter "t" only exists in messages to the server, the parameter "f" only exists in messages from the server.

bm=1

???
Send by client and server (maybe room infos): 

     bm = 1
sesskey = <session_key>
      t = <profile id>
    msg = GPCM90vMAT<control><base64>

msg starts always with string »GPCM90vMAT«, followed by a control character (ASCII codes 1 – 6 and 16) and a BASE64 coded string of different length.

msg
Control BASE64:
decoded
length		 Description
1 36 Ask for permission to enter room. The decoded data is almost little endian and equal to STATUS Type 0x01 without the message header.
2 52 Permission granted. The decoded data is almost little endian and equal to STATUS Type 0x02 without the message header.
3 4 Access denied, room full. 1st byte is 0x11 or 0x12 and indicates player count as BCD, all others are 0x00.
4 — Unknown.
5 — Unknown.
6 8 Connecting.
16 4 Unknown.

The data has the same format as transmitted in the masterserver-Record 0x06 (click). Detailed information for each record can be found there.

bm=5, bm=102 and bm=103 have exactly the same parameters and can be handled the same (but they don't exist in MKWii). We don't need to know what is transmitted in "msg" since those packets only get forwarded by the server.

bm=2

The server send this list as notification, that an other player has added him. 

     bm = 2
      f = <profile id>
   date = <seconds_since_epoch>
    msg = \r\n\r\n|signed|<hex_string>
  final /

The date parameter is optional and only set for delayed notifications.

In OpenSpy, the hex string is called "signature" and is saved as "syncrequest" in the database. But it is an other value than the "sig" in the authadd.

bm=4

The server send this list to confirm a previous addbuddy message. 

     bm = 4
      f = <profile id>
   date = <seconds_since_epoch>
    msg =
  final /

The date parameter is optional and only set for delayed notifications.

bm=6

This isn't used in MKWii, but maybe in other games. It's used to remove a friend out of the local friend list. 

     bm = 6
      f = <profile id>
   date = <seconds_since_epoch>
  final /

bm=100

The server informs the client about the online status of friends: 

     bm = 100
      f = <profile id>
    msg = <status>
   final /

msg has one of the following formats: 

|s|<status>|ss|<statstring>|ls|<locstring>|ip|<ip_addr>|p|0|qm|0	At status change or at login if buddy is online
|s|<status>|ss|<statstring>						At login if buddy is offline
|s|0|ss|Offline|ls||ip|<ip_addr>|p|0|qm|0				At logout (use last known IP)

status, statstring and locstring are copies of the values, that the client sends using the status list. ip_addr is the decimal representation of a 32 bit IP4 address. p (port) and qm (quietmode) are always 0. If the client is offline, ip contains the last known IP address, ls is empty, ss is "Offline" and s is 0.

challenge

The server-challenge has 10 random uppercase letters generated with the following algo: 

string CClientCM :: GenerateRandomString( string table, unsigned int len )
{
	srand( (unsigned int)time(NULL) );
	int randomInt = rand( );
	int tableLen = table.size( );

	string randomString( " ", len );

    for( unsigned int i = 0; i < len; i++ )
	{
        randomInt = ( randomInt * 0x343FD ) + 0x269EC3;
		randomInt >>= 1;
        randomString[i] = table[ (unsigned int)randomInt % tableLen ];
    }

    return randomString;
}

(table = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ", len = 10)

The client-challenge is generated out of random numbers with the following algorithmus. 

char *makechallenge()
{
	int ecx,eax,edx,esi;
	char hash[] = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789";

	ecx = rand();

	esi = 0; 
	int test = ecx;
	char *result = new char[33];
	for(int x = 0; x < 32; x++)
	{
		/* CALL */
		ecx = test;
		ecx *= 0x343fd;
		ecx += 0x269ec3;
		eax = ecx;
		eax >>= 0x10;
		eax = eax & 0x7FFF;
		test = ecx;
		/* END CALL */
		ecx = 0x3e;
		edx = eax % ecx;
		esi++;
		result[x] = hash[edx];
	}
	result[32] = 0;
	return result;
}

Now the array result[] contains the client challenge string.

But we can also make our own algo or use a standard one.

delbuddy

The client sends his message, if a friend is removed from the friends list: 

    delbuddy =
     sesskey = <session_key>
delprofileid = <profile id>
       final /

error

The server sends error messages of the following scheme: 

   error  =
     err  = <error_number>
<errtype> = 
  errmsg  = <error_message>
   final /

The error type is only set, if "fatal". Then it is inserted between err and errmsg. Not all error codes are used by all games; this is a complete list of Gamespy errors. These are the known error numbers and related messages:
