Negative gold and Little Helper Issue

nicki kimm

       
        ok
        This is a truly annoying bug. When I use little helper to do loops, it stops working whenever loops request I buy something from shops, i.e. herb of grace, rosemary, etc.. My gold balance will show as negative. When I go to shop to buy whatever loops requested, my gold balance goes back to positive and I have to restart little helper to start loops again. It then stops again when loops requests I buy something. This happens every time since the latest update. Is anyone else having this issue?

        Let\'s do some computer math. 2568553985 is a big number. In hexadecimal, it is 0x99190601, 32bits.
        If gold value is set to be on 32bits, then this (signed) hexadecimal number is also equal to -1.726.413.311 .
        Long in short, you managed to reach the sign bit of the gold value cus devs made it 32bits signed and you gathered too much gold.
        The maximum you can have without having this problem is 2.147.483.647 (that you exceeded). Now why it changes from positive to negative, must be some spaghetti.

so why is little helper stopping loops when I have to buy something? I know people with more gold than I have and they aren\'t having issues. Any other time, when I buy something or upgrade something, no problems. It\'s only during little helper while it\'s doing loops and only since the last update. I had more than that before never had a problem

        This is the message little helper gives me, I do have gold, why is helper saying I don\'t?

        i\'m not a dev, so can\'t say with certainty, but my guess is that the 2 methods use 2 different comparisons.
        Btw, i think you should pm a forum mod for this issue if you don\'t have an answer from them, they could have missed your thread.

Wow! 2.5 Bil Gold! That is a lot! My best Suggestion to give you, is try Spending some of that Gold!!! The Issue you are having, is that you have TOO MUCH Gold on Hand, and is going above the Max that GTA has set on that Amount, which is creating a Negative to appear in front. I\'ve seen this same thing happen in Gauntlet Damage when Damage went over the Max that is set.
