Netcode

  • Item IDs are 32 bit unsigned integers
  • Item IDs 1 - 65.535 are non-customized generic items which may exist multiple times
  • Item IDs 65.536 - 4.294.967.296 are unique equipment items which may only exist once in the game.
  • When sending the inventory data to a character, every high id is followed by its archetype-id and colorization string. All other information about the item can be requested on demand with an additional message.
  • When sending look information about other characters the archetype-id and the colorisation are transfered
  • Colorisations are sent in a compressed format:
    • 1 Byte bitfield of the used colorisation channels. For each channel:
      • 1 Byte for number of entries in the color ramp. for every entry:
        • 3 Byte for red, green and blue component of color
