May 23, 200719 yr Please learn programming before speaking, Berrakus... LMAO! Please learn who you are talking to before you shoot your mouth off and make a fool of yourself. The max value of an 8-bit unsigned integer is 255, however if the HP for a monster were greater than 255, they'd need to use a larger type (to store it), 16 or 32 bit. If they tried to use a type of integer lower than the one the HP is stored in, to display the data on Monster Examine, they'd get a compilation error or warning, and RuneScape could not run. Runescape is Java based. Java does not check for overflow during compilation. And why would a compilation warning not allow Runescape to run? Have YOU even programmed before? I assume that you are talking about a runtime overflow that would occur during the game and could potentially crash it. However, any decent programmer would do an overflow check before assigning a value. Do you realize we've NEVER seen a monster with more than 255 HP?! Jagex must be using an unsigned 8-bit integer to store HP! So that means 255 is the max... no monster will ever have more than 255 hits! The spell's definitely not limited to showing 255... Contradict yourself much? Also, I don't know what you mean by "so many flaws". The only flaw is that some monsters use different max hit formulas and they haven't programmed the spell to use the right ones accordingly for all the monsters yet. The max hit that the spell lists is obviously the melee max hit, regardless of what type of attack the monster actually uses. And the max hit does not list other types of attacks that the monster can use (i.e. Dragon Breath). And even with melee-only monsters, the max hit is not always accurate (i.e. Dharok is listed at a max hit of 29, regardless of his HP).

The max value of an 8-bit unsigned integer is 255, however if the HP for a monster were greater than 255, they'd need to use a larger type (to store it), 16 or 32 bit.

I assume that you are talking about a runtime overflow that would occur during the game and could potentially crash it. However, any decent programmer would do an overflow check before assigning a value. I don't really use Java much and didn't know it doesn't check during compilation... thanks for telling me. About RuneScape not "running" I just tried to make it sound simpler since most people aren't programmers. I suppose I could have said it wouldn't run properly. Do you realize we've NEVER seen a monster with more than 255 HP?! Jagex must be using an unsigned 8-bit integer to store HP! So that means 255 is the max... no monster will ever have more than 255 hits! The spell's definitely not limited to showing 255... Contradict yourself much? Showing... but I don't think any monsters have more than 255 from experience. Also, I don't know what you mean by "so many flaws".
