Transport Header, Printing Updates, and Bug Fixes!

Its once again that time. This week I worked on the object header, updated the printing on the DLC parsing, as well as fixing a couple big bugs.

Transport Header

The transport header consists of 5 parts, and its main job is to explains the format, and ordering of the data in the packet. Note that there are multiple object and data blocks in a single packet, but currently I can only parse 1 at most.

Bugs Fixed

Ran into a couple bugs, but I’ll just mention 2.

When filling the range (part of the object header) I ran into some errors.
- It turns out that I had forgoten to initilize the space with 0s, and that ment that if less than 8 bytes were assigned, there was garbage memory sitting in the space.
- Fix was pretty easy, just zeroed out the space and then assigned the data
Incorrect DLC data being printed.
- Another strange bug, not really sure what was causing it
- Fix was pretty simple, just rewrote the print statements (attached a picture)

Wrap Up

Thanks for enduring that yap fest. Next update will probably be when I add in data parsing, unless I make some major change.Hope you enjoyed it.
