How does byond use floating point numbers? I read it was a 4 byte big endian. Yet when I return the value 2 over sockets I recieve. 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x64. Which would be some strange number in 32 bit floating point.... a 2 should look something like 0x40 0x00 0x00 0x00.. At least thats what Im use to. So if someone could provide me some insight on this, it would be great.

I suspect your actual values are 0 0 0 64, or 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x40, not what you described.
Ultimately though I don't see the point in your question. What does the format matter, unless you're trying to develop or configure a packet sender? Version 347 is designed to put an end to their use. As more people begin using it, and as authors (and eventually, hosts) limit people to using 347+, malicious packets should be a thing of the past.
