S→CSentLive-verified7–16 bytes

Exact field order

Packet 23 wire layout

The first byte is the application packet ID. The rows after it appear in decode order. Sizes exclude ENet headers, the outer wrapper prefix, LZF chunk framing, and compression effects.

Packet 23 PlaySound fields in byte order
#	Field	Encoding	Bytes	Purpose
0	`packet_id`	u8	1	Always `23` (0x17).
1	`sound_id`	u8	1	sound id value.
2	`flags`	u8	1	Bit 0 looping; bit 1 positioned.
3	`volume`	sign-magnitude fixed16 LE (1/64)	2	volume value.
4	`time`	sign-magnitude fixed16 LE (1/64)	2	time value.
5	`loop_id`	u8	1	loop id value.When: looping flag set
6	`position`	3 × fixed16 LE	6	X, Y, and Z components at 1/64-unit precision.When: positioned flag set
7	`attenuation`	sign-magnitude fixed16 LE (1/64)	2	attenuation value.When: positioned flag set

Protocol convention

How to read this layout

LE means least-significant byte first.
fixed16 is two-byte sign-magnitude at 1/64 precision.
orientation16 uses the measured 1/8192 orientation mapping.
NUL strings consume their encoded byte length plus one 00 terminator.
Counted arrays repeat immediately in the order shown.
