List updated for client 0.0.0.142 A list of headers can also been found in common.h
All packets in LoL start with a common header. This header is 5 bytes in size and has the following layout:
| Type | Name | Description |
| uint8 | cmd | denotes the type (id) of the packet |
| uint32 | netId | Id of the ingame-object to modify, every object has an unique id which is used to refer to it |
The size of normal packets is either constant/depending on the packet type or given within the packet.
Some packet that get send from server -> client are send with a tick counter and have overlapping cmd’s. We call these game packets and there header is like
| Type | Name | Description |
| uint8 | cmd | denotes the type (id) of the packet |
| uint32 | netId | Id of the ingame-object to modify, every object has an unique id which is used to refer to it |
| uint32 | ticks | An clock tick for the server (probably) and increasing counter with 1 should work fine to |
Batch packets always have first byte to 0xFF
| Type | Name | Description |
| uint8 | cmd | always 0xFF |
| uint8 | packetNo | The total amount of packets this batch contains |
| uint8 | firstSize | The size of the first packet |
See batch packets body for parsing the rest of the batch
The header is then followed by packet data with its size depending on the packet type. The channel to send the packet from also depends on its type. Note that batch packets are different.
The same story as normal packets
The rest of the batch is parsed differently. After the firstSize packet:
| Type | Name | Description |
| uint8 | lengthAndFlags | This contains the length (retrieve it by shift right 2) and 2 flags |
| uint8 | unk1 | If first bit of lengthAndFlags is 0, else this byte is not present |
| uint8 | unk2 | If second bit of lengthAndFlags is 0, else this byte is not present |
| uint32 | unkt2 | If second bit of lengthAndFlags is 1, else these bytes are not present |
| uint8 | length | If lengthAndFlags>>2 == 0x3F then the real length is this byte, else this byte is not present |
| uint8 | body[lengthAndFlags>>2] | the body of the packet |
Repeat this until you have parsed packetNo times (but always check for overflow)
…to be continued.
