 * It is somewhat common practice to use offsets aligned to their final 
 * type, and thus make sure you are not falling to this error in SourceMod.
 * For example, if your "integer-aligned" offset was 119, your byte-aligned
 * offset is 119*4, or 476.
 
 * Specifying incorrect offsets or the incorrect data type for an offset
 * can have fatal consequences.  If you are hardcoding offsets, and the 
 * layout of CBaseEntity does not match, you can easily crash the server.
 *
 * The reasonable bounds for offsets is greater than or equal to 0 and 
 * below 32768.  Offsets out of these bounds will throw an error.  However,
 * this does not represent any real range, it is simply a sanity check for
 * illegal values.  Any range outside of the CBaseEntity structure's private
 * size will cause undefined behaviour or even crash.
