What happens if the IDs hit 99999? Since the key's [[A-Z][0-9]], the first 5 characters alone allow for 36^5, not 10^5, characters. Since we know ALL 5 initial characters correspond to keys, it allows for (potentially) 60,466,176 keys. Short answer? Probably nothing. |

The only complication I can see is that GUIs aren't made to handle 6 digits. An extremely simple fix. When the first five digits of keys hit 99999, that's where the issue arises. --- Quote from: Sevara on March 20, 2012, 08:57:17 PM ---Since the key's [[A-Z][0-9]], the first 5 characters alone allow for 36^5, not 10^5, characters.

That's why your ID is 999999 when you play LAN/Singleplayer. |
