Recursion Packets...

[rajkosto]

i explained 04 in a thread in "Packets World" forum before the huge downtime thing, now its gone because backup was before that
04 is easy, because its all just RPC (remote procedure call), like setxp (xp), and their subpackets and size is clearly defined
the problem is that 03 are serialized object view dumps (as a bitstream), with no defined size bytes, because the server expects the client to fully understand everything, and stop parsing when its done, then carry on parsing the rest of the packet (in most cases, 04 comes AFTER 03, so if we dont know 100% of 03, we cant just "skip" it and parse the 04, which contains reliable data that cant be skipped)
if 04 only came BEFORE 03, we would have no problem, as we could just parse the 04 at the beginning and skip 03 sections that we dont understand, its all unreliable data anyway, like position and velocity updates, that will be resent anyway
