[QStat-devx] Source query packet documentation bug?

[Steven H. <ki...@mu...>]

Looks like the documentation for source packets is slightly wrong here:
http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Source_Server_Queries

When I see multi packet responses e.g. 
./qstat -a2s 70.103.189.100:27035 -d -d -d -P -R

The first packet looks like:
FROM 70.103.189.100:27035 len 1400
    0: feffffff 81070000 0200ffff ffff454c  ........ ......EL
   16: 0073765f 73696d75 6c617465 6462756c  .sv_simu latedbul
....
and the second like:
FROM 70.103.189.100:27035 len 90
    0: feffffff 81070000 02016162 6c650031  ........ ..able.1
   16: 0073765f 70617573 61626c65 00300073  .sv_paus able.0.s

According to the docs the format should be:
4 bytes: 0xFFFFFFFE => multi packet response
4 bytes: uniq multi packet response identifier
1 byte: The lower four bits represent the number of packets (2 to 15)
and the upper four bits represent the current packet starting with 0 

But what can be seen above is:
4 bytes: 0xFFFFFFFE => multi packet response
4 bytes: uniq multi packet response identifier
1 byte: The number of packets
1 byte: The current packet starting with 0

Hope this helps.
