Can't see the logic in the amount or the question?
The amount: It's a standard value range of a 32 bit integer variable
However it's my understanding the max anyone can have is 999,999,999 in cash and the same in bank, hence 1,999,999,998 or a total of 147,483,649cr short! I didn't realise it's one of the (2^x)-1 numbers, don't run them that high in my head

its (2^31)-1

Anyway i'm pretty sure that you can't have that much, but cash is capped somewhere earlier at 400 million or so. dunno really

But either way, even if it was set to 1,999,999,998 cr max... i seriously doubt anyone would pay it for an inspiration buff

My understanding is bank is capped at 999,999,999 and cash is at 400m. I know someone who had to open a second acct. because he maxed out on his original (a weaponsmith since launch..and trust me..he Has deserved every credit of it).

Heads up for testers - we have some stealth fixes Tiggs didn't put in the patch notes.


Most of the text bugs have been fixed. And I noticed as well you can now set a covercharge during a performance.


It's late and I just noticed so I will do more detail testing tomorrow, but feel free to see if you can exploit this in any way and see if you can break it at all.

OK, update following the last patch, we don't have an exploit but we have a potential griefing change.


Two key changes that need to update the questions raised above:


What happens if the performer changes the covercharge during a performance? The spectator pays the amount they originally agreed to and not the revised amount, the performer receives the amount the spectator originally paid. A new spectator will pay the revised charge.


What happens if the performer uses /denyservice after a player has accepted the charge? The spectator will be stopped from receiving any more increase in the buff but will still be charged the full covercharge. The performer will receive the full charge when the spectator stops listening/watching or moves out of range. This leads to potential griefing as a perfomer could set a charge then when they realise a person has begun watching they could /deny (there are still no notifications for the performer, but if they are careful they can watch for a person starting clapping and the boost in eh xp)


I'll watch for more changes in future publishes, and if others have time to verify our results (/tiphat leno for helping with this test) then that would be great.

anyone tried negative numbers? the max listed is the signed 32 bit integer, meaning negative and positive numbers (otherwise the cap would be 4,294,967,295.) The interface prolly won't let you input the negative sign though.
