Remarks

Hand written for the same reason CharacterAttributesBroadcast is: a null array is simply an empty one here rather than a sentinel, the removals are omitted entirely on a full set, and the caps stop a malformed message allocating an arbitrarily large array before the stream runs out.

It is not written for the length prefix, and this remark used to claim it was — that the generated array serializer "spends four bytes on each length". It does not: Writer.WriteArray writes the count with WriteSignedPackedWhole, one byte for any count seen here. Worse, the counts below used to be written with WriteUInt16, which is always two unpacked bytes (Writer.WriteUInt16 forwards straight to WriteUInt16Unpacked) — so the hand-written form was costing one byte MORE per count than the generated one it was justified against. They are packed WriteInt32/ReadInt32 now, which is one byte for a strip of up to 63 buffs.

Fields

MAX_BUFFS

Hard cap on entries, and separately on removals, in one message.

public const int MAX_BUFFS = 4096

Field Value

int

Remarks

Far above any real character's visible strip; small enough that either count still costs two packed bytes at the very worst, and one for anything a character actually carries.
