Problem with rotation

[ivanlamega]

Does anyone know how the dbo client sends the rotation to the server? , the problem is that if the value is in a range less than PI, the value is correct even though the value is between PI, but if the value is greater than PI, then the value is enclosed within 315 degress and 400 degress more or less.

This is how you get direction from client:

struct VectorNtlShort{
    SHORT x;    
    SHORT y;    
    SHORT z;    
    
    void getVector3Ntl(Vector3Short &vector) const {        
        SHORT newX = x & 0x3FFF ^ 0x3FFF;        
        vector.x = static_cast<SHORT>((x & (1 << 15) ? -newX : x) / 10000.f);        
        SHORT newY = y & 0x3FFF ^ 0x3FFF;        
        vector.y = static_cast<SHORT>((y & (1 << 15) ? -newY : y) / 10000.f);
        SHORT newZ = z & 0x3FFF ^ 0x3FFF; 
        vector.z = static_cast<SHORT>((z & (1 << 15) ? -newZ : z) / 10000.f);   
    }
}

Client sometimes want same weird format back. "Encrypted" direction should have values -1 ~ +1

How did you know that the client encrypted the direction?
