XGAbility hidden constants? ... fine-tunning abilities...

[Amineri]

Sometimes you see a 24 preceding a value. I've never quite figured out what the difference is between 2c and 24 bytes.

 

And 25 and 26 can be single-byte constants representing 0 or 1.

 

But it may be worth looking around to see if you can find the function where those constants are in use, and modifying them there.

 

Wouldn't 2C be a signed byte (represents -128 to 127) while 24 is an unsigned byte (represents 0 to 256)? Signed bytes use 2's complement to represent negative values (e.g. 0xFF = -1 in 2's complement), so the values from 0 to 127 are identical in each case.

 

So 2C FF -> -127

while 24 FF -> 255

 

That's my read on it at any rate.

I like your thinking. But I'm certain 2c variables go up to 255. It's possible 24s are signed, although usually a -1 shows up in the code as 1d ff ff ff ff.

 

The bytecode table says this:

 

1d = IntConst

24 = ByteConst

2c = IntConstByte
