The max gold was removed from the mud I play but when i use math commands with say 13bil in coins it always returns 2147483904 is there any way to eliminate the cap in zmud?

Divide it by a thousand... since you have 13 BILLION coins, a few hundreds isn't going to throw off your economy that much.

well i cant really do that. I was actually trying to make a program to figure out how long itd take me to accumulate soo much interest but the interest is calculated like .0001% or 1.0000001 of your balance which is 13.8 bil so i need the thousands and the hundreds and all that jazz

You are going to have to break the number into smaller parts for preforming the math. Please provide some mud specific lines and a full detailed explanation of the math that needs to be done and I will try to come up with a way to do it over the next few days.

You can do the math in JScript or VBScript but when returning the value you need fudge it so its not interpreted as a number.
simple example:
| Code: |
| #eval %mss("(3000000000 + 500300000)","JScript") |
will echo 2147483647
but if you add something to it
| Code: |
| #eval %mss("(3000000000 + 500300000)+' '","JScript") |
will echo 3500300000
Since i appended a space before returning the value,you could prepend if you prefer.
also it appears that if you pass the number returned from %mss into
a zmud string manipulation function you dont need to fudge it.
| Code: |
| #eval %concat(%mss("(3000000000 + 500300000)","JScript")) |
will also echo 3500300000
anyways that should do the trick  |
