Struct SHORT Op Count INT Opcode LONG ObjectID SHORT PositionX SHORT PositionY SHORT PositionZ INT UpdateCounter BYTE Speed BYTE Direction Variable Descriptions Opperand_Count = 8 Opcode = 1B24F808 ObjectID: ObjectID that you are listing attributes for. Position X / Y / Z: New Position of Object. The value is transformed the following way. n = X / 4; if n > 8192 n = n - 16384; effective map range is -8192..8192 to convert the a float to position n = uint16(x * 4.0f + 0.5f); UpdateCounter: Number of movement updates the object has done. Used to distinguish new updates from potential repeats. Incremented by 1 each packet. Speed: Haven't seen it out side the range of 0..5 yet Direction: This is the direction for the object to face after moving. It is calculated by (Angle / 0.0625) where angle is in radians. Additional Notes: This packet needs to be sent frequently to prevent start/stop in a movement stream. Also, shorter distances at slower frequency will create slower speed. :OLD--DATA--Found this to be the posture byte This byte seems to be related to the 2 variances of ObjController Transform Packets used (23 vs 21). See them for further detail. The 23 seems to be sent in a Data channel signifying it being important. This byte is related to a count of 21's the occur between a group of 23. The 23 is assumed to be start/end of a chain of movement while the 21 is an update. -
