Data Types

Common Data Types

This is a list of common sendable data types used in the SOE protocol.

Type	C#	Description
Boolean	bool	True/False, Yes/No, 1/0. etc
UInt8	byte	A single unsigned byte. Max value of 255.
UInt16	ushort	A unsigned short (2 bytes). Max value of 65,535.
UInt32	uint	A unsigned integer (4 bytes). Max value of 4,294,967,295.
UInt64	ulong	A unsigned long (8 bytes). So big you don't need to worry.
Int8	sbyte	A single signed byte. Max value of 127.
Int16	short	A single signed short (2 bytes). Max value of 32,767.
Int32	int	A single signed integer (4 bytes). Max value of 2,147,483,647.
Int64	long	A single signed long (8 bytes).
AString	string	An ASCII encoded string with a UInt32 length at the start.
UString	string	A UNICODE encoded string with a UInt32 length at the start.
NString	string	A null-terminated string. Ends when the reader reaches a 0x00.
Blob	byte[]	A blob is a byte-array with a UInt32 length at the start.
Length	N/A	{ byte l, [byte n, byte[n] b] } If byte l is 0xFF, then the following byte is how many bytes to add onto the first, and then the bytes. For example, FF 01 01 would equal 256.
