SDL type INT

[tachzusamm]

Does it store an integer of 16 bit, or 32 bit?

[diafero]

The on-wire UU format has 32bit for an INT value in SDL. There's also SHORT (16bit) and BYTE (8bit).

[tachzusamm]

That helps, thanks.
And good to know that there's a SHORT available too.

There is also DOUBLE (64bit) but I don't think it was ever used.

[diafero]

I never saw that before, it's not even supported by Alcugs...
It also sounds more like a floating-point value? (FLOAT is supported by Alcugs, but that's 32bit)

[D'Lanor]

PtSDLVarType.kDouble is exists in PlasmaConstants.py and it is referenced in xPsnlVaultSDL.py (even though Relto does not use that type). The 64bit was my guess because that's what double usually means.

it's a 64 bit float... If we put together what you're both saying (and I think that's what you're meaning).

There are also more fun SDL types like vectors, quats, PLKEYS, and creatables... All of which make writing SDL binary code a pain

[tachzusamm]

Vectors as well? And did they ever make it into an existing SDL file?

Sometimes I think Cyan has created an engine too complex for their own needs... well, gives me an idea about the visions they had.

I guess anyone going through the trouble of writing an engine has hope of licensing it some day.

When an avatar changes position... SDL update. Check out the SDL files that aren't named after ages... Interesting reads
