Whats the maximum amount of money in gta 3?

[Kinda Koolies]

look at all the '0', then replace all of them with '9'...

[andynalley]

on every other gta the maximum amount of money you can get is 999999999 (1 under a billion) but i did taxi missions on gta 3 to max out my money but it went past 1 billion. I got to about 1.5 billion and it kept going up so i stopped.

I just wanted to know has anybody actually maxed it out on gta 3?

999,999,999.........

Thats 1 under a billion thats what it sould be but as i said it goes way past that.

I wanted to test this out and just as I suspected, there is no limit other than the limit of the number designed to display it. The game has established a signed 32-bit integer to contain your cash. This means the upper limit is 2 billion 147 million 483 thousand and 647 dollars. ($2,147,483,647) If you gain ONE more dollar, the value truncates and becomes NEGATIVE $2,147,483,648. Being a negative number, as you gain more cash, the numeral will get smaller while the minus out front remains.

So I say that there is no limit because no amount will make the game grash or the number remain stationary. It just will lose it's ability to display properly just over 2 billion.

Wow that seems a bit crazy considering every other gta has limit of 999,999,999. I think i will just aim for 999,999,999 just like every other gta.

It's not crazy at all. In fact, I wouldn't be the list bit surprised if the same is true for VC and SA. It's the nature of the data it deals with. It would have to be the engine forrcibly limiting it.

ive maxed out my money on every other gta (1, london, 2, vice city and san andreas) and they all stop at 999,999,999.
