+| Opcode | Length | Jagex name | Description |
+|-------:|---------------:|-----------------------------|------------------------------------|
+| 14 | 1 | `INIT_GAME_CONNECTION` | Set username hash |
+| 15 | 4 | `INIT_JS5REMOTE_CONNECTION` | Switch to JS5 mode |
+| 16 | Variable short | `GAMELOGIN` | Login (new session) |
+| 17 | 0 | Unknown | Switch to JAGGRAB mode |
+| 18 | Variable short | Unknown | Reconnect (existing session) |
+| 20 | 6 | Unknown | Check date of birth and country |
+| 21 | 8 | `CREATE_CHECK_NAME` | Check username availability |
+| 22 | Variable byte | `CREATE_ACCOUNT` | Create account |
+| 23 | 4 | `REQUEST_WORLDLIST` | Request world list |
+| 24 | Variable byte | `CHECK_WORLD_SUITABILITY` | Request most suitable world number |
+
+### 14 (`INIT_GAME_CONNECTION`)
+
+| Data type | Description |
+|--------------|---------------|
+| UnsignedByte | Username hash |
+
+The following algorithm computes the username hash:
+
+ usernameHash = (encodedUsername >> 16) & 0x1F
+
+where `encodedUsername` is the player's Base37-encoded username.
+
+The consensus in the community is that Jagex's implementation uses the username
+hash to load balance between login servers, but this has not been confirmed.
+
+### 15 (`INIT_JS5REMOTE_CONNECTION`)
+
+| Data type | Description |
+|-----------|---------------------|
+| Int | Client build number |
+
+### 16 (`GAMELOGIN`)
+
+| Data type | Description |
+|---------------|----------------------------------------------|
+| Int | Client build number |
+| Byte | Unknown (hard-coded to `0` in client script) |
+| Boolean | Advert suppressed |
+| Boolean | Client signed |
+| UnsignedByte | Display mode |
+| UnsignedShort | Canvas width |
+| UnsignedShort | Canvas height |
+| UnsignedByte | Anti-aliasing mode |
+| Byte\[24\] | UID |
+| String | Settings cookie |
+| Int | Affiliate ID |
+| Int | Preferences |
+| Short | TODO |
+| Int\[29\] | JS5 archive checksums |
+| UnsignedByte | RSA-encrypted payload length (n) |
+| Byte\[n\] | RSA-encrypted payload |
+
+The unknown byte hard-coded to `0` in a client script might represent the
+language. It is consistent with the ID for English. We can infer that there
+were language-specific versions of the cache, as the surviving copy does not
+contain translations.
+
+The structure of the plaintext payload is described below:
+
+| Data type | Description |
+|--------------|--------------------------------|
+| UnsignedByte | Must be `10` |
+| Int | ISAAC cipher key (bits 0-31) |
+| Int | ISAAC cipher key (bits 32-63) |
+| Int | ISAAC cipher key (bits 64-95) |
+| Int | ISAAC cipher key (bits 96-127) |
+| Long | Base37-encoded username |
+| String | Password |
+
+### 17 (Switch to JAGGRAB mode)
+
+### 18 (Reconnect)
+
+The packet is identical to `GAMELOGIN` in all but one way: the opcode of this
+packet indicates the client is reconnecting due to connection loss, rather than
+logging in from the login screen.
+
+### 20 (Check date of birth and country)
+
+| Data type | Description |
+|---------------|------------------------------|
+| UnsignedByte | Day |
+| UnsignedByte | Month |
+| UnsignedShort | Year |
+| UnsignedShort | Country ID |
+
+### 21 (`CREATE_CHECK_NAME`)
+
+| Data type | Description |
+|-----------|------------------------------|
+| Long | Base37-encoded username |
+
+### 22 (`CREATE_ACCOUNT`)
+
+| Data type | Description |
+|-----------------|-------------------------------------------------------|
+| UnsignedShort | Client build number |
+| UnsignedByte | RSA-encrypted payload length (n) |
+| Byte\[n\] | RSA-encrypted payload |
+| Byte\[len-n-3\] | XTEA-encrypted payload |
+
+The structure of the RSA-decrypted payload is described below:
+
+| Data type | Description |
+|---------------|--------------------------------|
+| UnsignedByte | Must be `10` |
+| UnsignedShort | Flags (see below) |
+| Long | Base37-encoded username |
+| Int | XTEA key (bits 0-31) |
+| String | Password |
+| Int | XTEA key (bits 32-63) |
+| UnsignedShort | Affiliate ID |
+| UnsignedByte | Day |
+| UnsignedByte | Month |
+| Int | XTEA key (bits 64-95) |
+| UnsignedShort | Year |
+| UnsignedShort | Country ID |
+| Int | XTEA key (bits 96-127) |
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|------:|--------------------------------------|
+| `0x1` | Receive RuneScape newsletters |
+| `0x2` | Receive Other newsletters |
+| `0x4` | Share details with business partners |
+
+The structure of the XTEA-decrypted payload is described below:
+
+| Data type | Description |
+|-------------|---------------|
+| String | Email address |
+| Byte\[0-7\] | Padding |
+
+### 23 (`REQUEST_WORLDLIST`)
+
+| Data type | Description |
+|-----------|------------------------------|
+| Int | Previous world list checksum |
+
+The previous world list checksum is set to 0 if the client has not fetched the
+world list before. It is used to save bandwidth if the world list has not
+changed when the "Refresh" button is clicked: if checksum has not changed, the
+server only sends the player counts and not the full world list.
+
+Given the use of CRC-32 elsewhere in the client, it is probably the CRC-32
+checksum of the encoded world list (excluding player counts), but this has not
+been confirmed.
+
+### 24 (`CHECK_WORLD_SUITABILITY`)
+
+| Data type | Description |
+|---------------|-------------------------------------------|
+| UnsignedShort | Client build number |
+| UnsignedByte | RSA-encrypted payload length (n) |
+| Byte\[n\] | RSA-encrypted payload |
+
+The structure of the plaintext payload is described below:
+
+| Data type | Description |
+|--------------|-------------------------|
+| UnsignedByte | Must be `10` |
+| Int | Random integer |
+| Long | Base37-encoded username |
+| Int | Random integer |
+| String | Password |
+| Int | Random integer |
