l4d2 forgot to sign its shorts

[crasx]

 

in binary this is 011111111100111. The first 0 in a signed number means positive (1 is negative)

now the actual score was -25 or 11111111 11100111, so I *think* when you convert signed to unsigned it drops that last bit? I haven't done this stuff in a while.... but yea, magic.

must be a team full of haxors

Always knew you were some kind of wizard Crasx.

That's an automatic win for that team in the next 20 games.

[swatfishy]

how do you get -25...did survivors not even move?

im guessin lots of defibs.

[crasx]

yea it was a ton of defibs and they made it like 5 feet

Actually it was all because of an AFK on the safe, we made a few feets but we had to come back for the afk once he moved but it was too late, the other team was all over us so the afk died and with him those who came back.
I defibed two guys, so it would be -50 but we managed to travel enough for 25 points

I dunno about all that, but [insert name here]'s mom NEVER forgets to "sign my shorts" - iykwim

They are probably using an unsigned 2 byte number, thats why your neg 25 translates to a buffer over flow.

 

Numbers are generally represented as twos-complement, its weird so wikipedia'ing it will help you solve this.
