cis2 testing, temp variables?

running a little translator, it's weird how it uses CIS2, it gives it some kind of made up number but the number seems unique

in the 6 INFO subtopics in DIAL 0x000DA228 in Update.esm (loads quick), have these values all with CIS2 ::WarIsActive_var

• GetVMQuestVariable([QUST 0x00019E53] CW, 616543216)  != -1
• GetVMQuestVariable([QUST 0x00019E53] CW, 616543264)  != -1
• GetVMQuestVariable([QUST 0x00019E53] CW, 616543344)  != -1
• GetVMQuestVariable([QUST 0x00019E53] CW, 616543392)  != -1
• GetVMQuestVariable([QUST 0x00019E53] CW, 616543440)  != -1
• GetVMQuestVariable([QUST 0x00019E53] CW, 616543536)  != -1

note that the number is different for each one though the check and CIS2 are otherwise identical

there's a similar progression up through the other CIS2 check on ::playerAllegiance_var -- this one actually confirmed that when (use global) is set it points to a GLOB formid, but regardless, same made up number for param2

• GetVMQuestVariable([QUST 0x00019E53] CW, 616543504) = 0x00073F11 (use global)

hex of the CIS2 substitution numbers shows its clearly incrementing:

• E0-B3-BF-24
• F0-B3-BF-24
• 10-B4-BF-24
• 20-B4-BF-24

...

• D0-B4-BF-24

but on what? what is this? i am stumped --Themendios 07:32, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

quick note of 18-F2-ED-25 for ::PlayerHasBeastBlood_var in a LSCR CTDA

lowest value yet, CIS1 60-7A-7F-1B for bMotionDrivenDialogue

non-zero/FF values in last 4 bytes

0x00035D5F (MQ201 Diplomatic Immunity) has 2 different 'real' values in the last 4 padding bytes, 2C-00-00-00 after 2 GetInCurrentLoc calls and 62-00-00-00 after 5/6 GetInCell calls (1 is still all FF), 2c is also in a QSTA but I don't see 62 anywhere other than as an INDX (not saying much)

unknown if significant but thought since i bothered to check for them thought I'd share
