Packet 50 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 50 (0x32). |
| 1 | chat_type | u8 | 1 | chat type value. |
| 2 | localise_parameters | boolean u8 | 1 | localise parameters value. |
| 3 | string_id | NUL-terminated UTF-8 string | N + 1 | Retail localization-table key. |
| 4 | parameter_count | u8 | 1 | parameter count value. |
| 5 | parameters[] | repeated NUL strings | Σ(N + 1) | Values for {0}, {1}, and later placeholders. |
| 6 | override_previous_message | boolean u8 | 1 | Replace the previous top-screen message. |

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.
