What's the deal with this? The packet format is ellegedly (DWORD) result, (STRING) patch result. What is all the extra junk for?

[Barabajagal]

That's the way it's always been. Just read data up to the packet length.

[Camel]

My packet classes eat the data out of the stream even if it never gets handled. Also protects the bot from reading too much data.

Was just curious.

[Hdx]

It's just some server-side memory management issues. The format is not changed. It's just the buffer for the 'patch result' isn't writtin to, and therefor isn't truncated.
You may notice that when you get a failed result with a patch info, the extra data is missing. (This is not seen much cuz JSTR/D1 haven't patched in so long.)
I think this is one fo the main ways people learned that name spaces are w#name Serverside.

na, System\Username taught us years ago.  This hasn't always happened, just recently in the past year or so it started doing this

[Hdx]

Ohy, my mistake, I am not the best with remembering things.

So my next question is:

Who the eff is RA-Whatever@USWest?

[Barabajagal]

A user. The extra data is just incorrectly allocated buffer data in the server.
