PT_PLAYERINFO

PT_PLAYERINFO is a type of packet sent as one of two replies to a PT_ASKINFO packet, that lists information about the players in the server's running netgame. Its packet type number is 14 (0x0E in hexadecimal). This type of packet is used only by the Master Server's online page; SRB2 itself ignores all packets of this type if it receives them.

The other reply to a PT_ASKINFO packet is PT_SERVERINFO.

plrinfo structure

As shown above, the plrinfo structure is repeated in the packet 32 times, once for each node. Info on all 32 nodes are sent regardless of whether or not they are all occupied; it is up to the client to parse the structure and ignore nodes with no info. Due to the way SRB2 handles nodes, which allows an unoccupied "hole" of node(s) between occupied nodes, this is necessary.

Data name	Data type	Description	Sample data	Sample meaning
node	Unsigned 8-bit Integer	The node of the player. A value of 255 indicates an empty slot, which means the rest of this structure should be ignored.	0 (0x00)	The info we are getting is related to node 0, the server's node.
name	22-byte String	The in-game name of the player.	"Inuyasha"	The player's name is "Inuyasha".
address	4-byte array of 8-bit Integers	Unused – This field formerly gave the IP address of the player, condensed into four 8-bit unsigned integers. However, as of the current version of SRB2, this field will always be {0, 0, 0, 0} ({0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00}).	No example
team	Unsigned 8-bit Integer	The team that the player is currently on. 255 always indicates a spectator. 0 indicates the player is playing on a gametype that does not use teams, 1 indicates the player is on the Red Team, and 2 indicates the player is on the Blue Team.	255 (0xFF)	The player in question is a spectator.
skin	Unsigned 8-bit Integer	The skin that the player is using, in numeric form.	0 (0x00)	The player is using Sonic, which is usually the skin loaded into slot 0.
data	Unsigned 8-bit Integer	The first five bits indicate the player's current skin color, in numeric form. This will be any number from 1 (0x01) to 25 (0x19). The sixth bit (0x20) is set when the player is IT! in Tag. The seventh bit (0x40) is set if the player has a flag in CTF. The eighth bit (0x80) is set if the player is super.	18 (0x12)	The player's color is red. The player is not IT!, does not have a flag, and is not super.
score	Unsigned 32-bit Integer	The player's score.	0 (0x00000000)	The player has a score of 0, which is typical of a spectator.
timeinserver	Unsigned 16-bit Integer	The time that the player has been in the server, in seconds.	462 (0x01CE)	The player has been in the server for 7 minutes and 42 seconds.
