REQUEST_IPL_HASH

Verified notes

Reviewed in this portal's repository · by borderline-rp

Pass the signed form

A hash of 2³¹ or more passed as a positive integer is dropped silently: no error, the IPL never loads and IS_IPL_ACTIVE_HASH stays false. The same applies to REMOVE_IPL_HASH and IS_IPL_ACTIVE_HASH.

• joaat("name") and backtick literals already return the signed form.
• tonumber("0xF4101CBE") returns the unsigned form (4094696638) and breaks the call.

_GET_IPL_BOUNDING_SPHERE does accept the unsigned form, which makes the bug look like a streaming or timing problem: the sphere is found, the IPL never appears.

local function toSignedHash(h)
    h = math.floor(tonumber(h)) & 0xFFFFFFFF
    if h >= 0x80000000 then h = h - 0x100000000 end
    return h
end
