Getting maximum and current budgets properly

Nuklear · Post by **Nuklear** » Tue Jun 17, 2008 5:53 pm

I've been having problems getting the correct budget value from an usermap.

Shade45's usermap says it's a floating point number, so I tried to read it, but it's wrong. The numbers are too big to be a budget. I've tried changing it to integer too and same problem.

Does anyone know how to correctly get the budget value or tell me more info about budgets.

Shades right, try a bit harder

I'll try looking at sandbox source again.

Edit, I didn't know there was a ReadSingle method. =P

But, it doesn't get the budgets correctly, just the coordinates.

Why would budget need to be a floating point number when it never have decimal numbers.

Are you reading it in Big Endian because it seems to be correct in every usermap I've seen??

He's probably not since normally it's Small Endian by default.

I am reading it in Big Endian yes.

Here's my code:

Code: Select all

            PlacementBlock.Block.Maximum_Budget = io.In.ReadSingle(EndianType.BigEndian);
            PlacementBlock.Block.Current_Budget = io.In.ReadSingle(EndianType.BigEndian);

Can you tell me the offset for budgets. Maybe I got it wrong.

So, can you tell me the offsets for budget from the beginning of _blf please?

Yeah,

Maximum Budget is 0x268 and Current Budget is 0x26C.
