Overview
This is the Odamex Launcher protocol, which will help developers develop custom launchers in other programming languages
This protocol uses UDP Datagram sockets and the packets sent are uncompressed.

Additional Notes
- Token is unnecessary for a launcher I think.
- Game types are: 0 = COOP, 1 = Deathmatch, 2 = Deathmatch 2.0
- Skill levels are: 0 = ITYTD, 1 = HNTR, 2 = HMP, 3 = UV, 4 = NM (Acronyms).
- Player teams are: 0 = None, 1 = Blue, 2 = Red, 3 = Gold
- If CTF is enabled, Teamplay will be enabled and deathmatch (2.0?).
- If Teamplay is enabled, then deathmatch (2.0?) will be too.
- scorelimit, team scores and player teams (excluding team 0) only appear if Teamplay/CTF is enabled.
