General

u need 35 bits to get to 10 bil. their server can STILL be 32 bit. use long long, or simply define their own mesos structure. use a structure that has a field that contains a char array of size 5 so it has 40 bits. so if u never learned anything about programming or C then don't talk junk.

for people who say 32 bit computer cant have anything higher than 2bil, use a calculator on 32 bit xp, it can definitely go over 2 bil.

[url=http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946765]32 bit computer vs 64 bit[/url] has nothing to do with the type int. there is a type called int64.

[quote=xlGunShotlx]Can anyone tell me why people said 2.147 b was the max that could be processed, but now it's 10b? I know that the change in exp curve allowed levels passed 200, but what about mesos?[/quote]

The real answer is that Nexon recoded the game to use larger numbers.
Anyone who talks about "32bit vs. 64bit" simply doesn't have a clue what they're talking about.

The technical origin of 2147483647 is, as people have said, that Maple is a 32-bit game. This basically means it can count up to the number 2^31 (2 to the 31st power i.e. 2x2x2x2...31 times). It is 31, not 32, because the first digit is 0, so it doesn't add up to anything. 2^31 is 214748364[b]8[/b]. And we just take off one for our special number.

@NeoDouble: People can use them, never said that they could not. But there are people, like me, that play Maple that only accept pure Mesos only bc their prices can never change while S nebs prices can deflate (I'll use this gacha event as an example...)

@NeoDouble: cause instead of doing split trades of say, 5b as 2b ,2b, 1b, you can jsut trade 5b straight up

It's because you can add numbers

[quote=Liddy]It's 64-bit on their side, 32-bit on ours, so why don't YOU learn first. Why do you think 2.1b is the max amount on nearly EVERY GAME -facepalm-[/quote]

You know you can still have 32 bits while the max cap can still be beyond 2.147bil

hexadecimals...

They just changed the data type for meso storage... people store numbers larger than 2^31-1 on 32bit machines all the time.

[quote=Aeropedia]Bull. http://grab.by/nTIw Clearly indicates it is a 32-bit process.

Your friend needs to learn what he's talking about first.[/quote]

[quote=Squibble11]in a 32 bit game the maximum allotted number is 2,147,483,647, but since the game is running on 64 bit now the maximum possible number is 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 however nexon decided to cap it at 10b, I'm not really good with computers this is just the reasoning that my friend gave to me, I'm not sure if the way I said it makes sense but w.e you should get the gist.[/quote]

Dont listen to your friend, he is lying and looks like he doesn't understand it at all, so please don't say the game is 64 bits. If the game was 64 bits, computers that we're running on 32 bits can no longer play maplestory.

[quote=pdavid24]I am interested in how they worked around the limit myself.[/quote]

they used hacks

As am I.

now it is harder for people to get scammed

If the game ran on 64 bit though it would require everyone to have a 64 bit OS which it does not.

Yes, the mesos cap is now 10b.
