basically any time just about anything in the in-world changes in any way other than 1. player movement or 2. any unit casts a spell, it probably involves a SMSG_OBJECT_UPDATE packet

it's just one big, massive, complicated uber-format that tries to do it all

Hmmm I can see a few issues it may cause, first of all pasta code. No one likes having one hook to rule them all

most have a 40-300 byte mask that's simply for signaling which fields out of hundreds it's actually passing data for, each for a specific type-subtype-subsubtype

the order of the fields and what type they are is basically just pre-shared magic values per type-subtype-subsubtype set. If a bit is on, that specific pre-known field has data after the mask block. No seperators or anything.

everything else, especially the movement stuff, is just a massive if/else if/else and swtich case tree based around dozens and dozens of flags.

and then there's typically 7-20 of these 'update blocks' in a single SMSG_OBJECT_UPDATE
