Packet Details

Size

The size of the packet is always 80 bytes.

Type

The packet type from the ISP_ enumeration, always ISP_RIP.

ReqI

ReqI must be non-zero when sending the packet, LFS replies with the same value.

Error

0 when sending the packet, an error code from the RIP_ enumeration when sent by LFS:

• RIP_OK: OK, completed instruction
• RIP_ALREADY: OK, already at the destination
• RIP_DEDICATED: can't run a replay - dedicated host
• RIP_WRONG_MODE: can't start a replay - not in a suitable mode
• RIP_NOT_REPLAY: RName is zero but no replay is currently loaded
• RIP_CORRUPTED: corrupted (e.g. RName does not end with zero byte)
• RIP_NOT_FOUND: the replay file was not found
• RIP_UNLOADABLE: obsolete/future/corrupted
• RIP_DEST_OOB: destination is beyond replay length
• RIP_UNKNOWN: unknown error found starting replay
• RIP_USER: replay search was terminated by user
• RIP_OOS: can't reach destination - SPR is out of sync

MPR

0 if the replay is an SPR, 1 if it is an MPR.

Paused

In a request, make the replay pause on arrival. In a reply, reports the paused state.

Options

RIPOPT_ flags:

#define RIPOPT_LOOP			1		// replay will loop if this bit is set
#define RIPOPT_SKINS		2		// set this bit to download missing skins
#define RIPOPT_FULL_PHYS	4		// use full physics when searching an MPR

CTime

The current time (in a reply) or the destination time (in a request), in ms.

TTime

The replay length (in a reply), or 0 (in a request), in ms.

RName

The replay name, or 0.
