Packet 47 wire layout
The first byte is the application packet ID. The rows after it appear in decode order. Sizes exclude ENet headers, the outer wrapper prefix, LZF chunk framing, and compression effects.
| # | Field | Encoding | Bytes | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | packet_id | u8 | 1 | Always 47 (0x2F). |
| 1 | player_id | u8 | 1 | Compact player-slot identifier. |
| 2 | message_type | u8 | 1 | message type value. |
| 3 | candidate_count | u16 LE | 2 | candidate count value. |
| 4 | candidates[].name | NUL-terminated UTF-8 string | N + 1 | Exact candidate identity shown to and returned by the client. |
| 5 | candidates[].votes | i32 LE | 4 | candidates[].votes value. |
| 6 | title | NUL-terminated UTF-8 string | N + 1 | repr-form localized-string tuple. |
| 7 | description | NUL-terminated UTF-8 string | N + 1 | repr-form localized-string tuple. |
| 8 | vote_flags | u8 | 1 | Bit 0 allow revote; bit 2 can vote. |

How to read this layout
LEmeans least-significant byte first.fixed16is two-byte sign-magnitude at 1/64 precision.orientation16uses the measured 1/8192 orientation mapping.- NUL strings consume their encoded byte length plus one
00terminator. - Counted arrays repeat immediately in the order shown.
