17:06 karamel Hello, if I need to add a message in the network protocol, should I add a new line, or use an empty on deprecated one ? I'm trying to add local animation with sprites.
17:07 Krock   replace empty ones is the safest bet
17:07 Krock   best placed to some related packets
17:07 Krock   keep in mind that packets can be re-used or extended using the protocol_version from the client
17:08 Krock   just in case there's already a packet that does it for a similar case
17:09 karamel Ok so I just need to put it somewhere using an unused code, incrementing the protocol version to check if the code still have the right meaning?
17:10 Krock   you only need to increase the protocol when existing packets change
17:10 Krock   if you replace placeholders (i.e. nullptr entries in the struct array) it does not matter
17:12 karamel Thanks, so I'll be using 0x5A for now (at least until I can finish implementing it)
17:14 Krock   good luck ;)
17:14 karamel Thanks, it looks like a good start to dig into the core :)
