    in this save: id:3384209  the bcln is supposed to have a life of -1, i type this into the console, it sets it, i save it, i reload, and the life is 0. does anyone know how to fix this??

    There's no way to, negative life values cannot be saved.

    ok. i just set it to the upper integer limit.

    @wisco11 (View Post) I think they might save negative life values in the official version 100 in TPT . But, I could be wrong .

    Nope. Hint: you don't have to reply if you have zero idea what you're talking about.

     I do wonder why the life value doesn't wrap around back to 65535. That's what I'd expect from the int->unsinged short conversion during saving. Is there any reason why or is it just a random dev decision?

    Yeah it's a "random dev decision", it's clamped to be within [0, 0xFFFF]. I think we do have other fields that are saved by truncation like you'd expect.
