Warcraft3 random implementation

[Drake53]

I'd like to know how random numbers are implemented in Warcraft 3.
Tried searching and found a python script, however when running it I get a different result using the same seed (10) and low/highbound (0~100) (result was 43 in python (3.9.0), 55 in wc3 (1.31)).

I also found the decompiled code, but it's missing the SetRandomSeed and table, so can't use that either.

Does anyone know where to find a working implementation?

Did you try comparing with the results of the random number generating library of C++?(and with the one of C?)
I have no clue if the random generator in C++ have similar results to the one of python and it is assumed WC3 was made in C++

Wc3 has its own random number generation algorithm (like you say in C++), so I didn't compare it with the 'standard' C/C++ algorithm, since they are not the same and so I can say with 99.9% certainty they will return different results.

The python script in the linked thread supposedly implements Wc3's algorithm, but like I said I get different results, so not really sure. Though that post is also over 2 years old, when 1.29.2 was latest, and 1.30 was in PTR, while I tested this in 1.31 PTR. Maybe the implementation was changed at some point?
