+// Currently, GTA5 has a "soft limit" of 256 global (not per-DLC) ped prop indices (with a maximum index of 0xFF)
+// per anchor per model info (255 slots for `mp_f_freemode_01`, 256 for `mp_m_freemode_01`, etc.). This means that
+// with every single title update for GTA5, the number of "free" slots significantly decreases. Exceeding the
+// limit of 256 will lead to the "overflow" effect, corrupting other ped props. This happens because some specific
+// game functions expect the prop index argument to be an 8-bit integer. However, it doesn't seem to be explicitly
+// intended, as most functions expect 32-bit integers. This patch set is meant to "fix" this inconsistency and
+// make the game work fine with 32-bit global ped prop indices.
