From Server to Monitor

Soccerserver and logplayer send dispinfo_t structs to the soccermonitor. Dispinfo_t contains a union with three different types of information:

1.

showinfo_t: information needed to draw the scene

2.

msginfo_t : contains the messages from the players and the referee shown in the bottom windows

3.

drawinfo_t: information for monitor to draw circles, lines or points (not used by the server)

The size of dispinfo_t is determined by its largest subpart (msg) and is 2052 bytes (the union causes some extra network load and may be changed in future versions). In order to keep compatibility between different platforms, values in dispinfo_t are represented by network byte order.

Following is a description of these structs and the ones contained:
