Packets related to packets

[Parallax]

Still confused...
The the one in bold is a RPC packet and no the one underlined

(in most cases, 04 comes AFTER 03,

Like the example above (and the ones I've seen) there is no 03 located anywhere. Am I mistaken into how I look into this?

What we call an 04 (RPC) packet IS the one from your example. That whole packet is an 04 packet. The 04 after the 02 just lets us know that the packet will always be formed like that, and should have the same number of bytes next time it's sent.
I believe the RPC header is a couple of bytes in an 04 packet that do the same thing every time. If you have the admin console running to send RPC packets,
you can send RPC packets for testing when you set up the RPC packet database Morph set up At:

02 04 01 00 1d 01 2f 47 00 00 04 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 1a 00 06 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 80 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ; Would be the RPC header.

If it were 02 03 d4 2e etc. it would be an 03 packet, and those are also what rajko was talking about. What he meant when he said that was that usually you will have your 03 packets being sent to the client (or world, depending on the way they're traveling) before your 04 packets.

For example, in many of the logs you read you will see something like:

02 03 df 34 6a ..... Which is your 03 packet, which tells about the view of the world, it can change size.
Followed by your 04 packet:
02 04 4e 6a f7 .....

Also, there can be 04 and 03 packets hiding in what we know as an 82 packet. For example: 82 df e3 f4 a2 04 ..... will be an 04 packet. you ignore the first five byte pairs of an 82 packet to figure out what type of packet you're looking at.

I hope this helps, I got some of my info from QuiDormit's site: http://blog.mxosource.com Sorry it's so long, I just tried to get all the important information down without being too confusing.

I'm still trying to figure this out too, so Morph may be able to explain better.
