Usage and Notes

LayerData packets transmit terrain, wind, and cloud information using a custom IDCT routine similar to JPEG but with different coefficients. The data in these packets is stored in a proprietary format of 16x16 meter blocks.

Type:

     -  76 : LLSurface (terrain)
     -  55 : LLWind (wind)
     -  56 : LLCloudLayer (Cloud)

Data:

[patchgroupSize] - uint8

[quant_wbits] - uint8

[patchHeader]

[patchSize] - uint8

[dc_offset] - uint32

[range] - uin16

[patchIDs] - 10 bit unsigned integer

[patchData]

[zeroCode] - One bit. If 0, the data is zerocoded

[hasData] - One bit, If 0, the entire patch is zeros.

[data] - has a size of (patchSize % 16) + 2

[data] ... - repeat until patchSize has been read

[patchHeader] ... - repeat until patchgroupSize has been read

...

The data then has to be decompressed, and I have no idea how this data is used.
