Hi guys,
I am trying to mod the tour in such a way that players can earn ranking points in the qualifying rounds of Futures (or ITF tournaments).
To keep the proportions right, I would like to multiply all ranking points by 5, and give 1 point for reaching Q2 in futures and 2 for being qualified. (I already modded it to 2 qualifying rounds in Futures to reflect the reality since the 2019 season)
However, I run into the problem that the ranking points seem not to able to get higher than 2^16 (as it is probably stored as a 16-bit integer).
This is about 65.000 points, and it overflows for any value higher than that.
This leads to funny results, like dropping from 1 to 283 after winning a Grand Slam and having less total ranking points than winning a challenger.
Is there a way to change or circumvent this or should I look for a different approach?
