Its to do what?

[wushin]

Edited poll as people wanted "Don't touch it!" option.

Is it possible to use icons ?
like bronze for GP, silver for K and gold for kk, some small icon coins?

[wushin]

Baldenburg, maybe we would have to ask 4144 about Manaplus and themes to see.

FYI, this does not change how much money anyone has at all, just how it's displayed.

I wanted to change it to something thats easier to talk about and have the NPCs relay to players as well because 1,000,000 GP seen by new people is a HUGE insane number. Where as 1,000,000 in current GP format would be 1 GP or 1 KK in either of the newer formats.

Wushin,

That doesn't change the fact that 1000000 GP is huge amount. Just displaying in less number of numbers won't do anything except to wonder what's this new currency. Gp,kp, so...?

*prefers e.g. 1,000,000 GP*

[wushin]

deepthought but it's a less visible huge amount.

[4144]

wushin you forgot formats with separators like spaces on comas

[deepthought]

The current system is fine. No need for changes.

[wushin]

Further clarification:

something currently worth 1,000 GP would be worth 1 SP. So it's just a label for a amount of the unit like grams and kilograms.

So something that weighs 1,000 grams is 1 kilogram.

In new money labels 1,000 GP would still be 1,000 we would just use 1 SP to represent it.

If we pick the 999999999GP option I will at least add the , delimiters so 999,999,999GP but please at least that. Think of my OCD.

[EJlol]

Also please note that delimiters should be translatable. In dutch we use . as a delimiter instead.

I like the GP SP CP theme. Goes very well with the look of the game. ... No kitty emote. :alt-home:

Same for us in Germany, but I think this might get a bit complicated: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_ma ... les_of_use

Catchword complicated: E.g. one shop currently sells Illia items for 2,750,000 GP IIRC... this would be 2 GP 750 SP then, IMO this looks so stupid.
The idea itself isn't bad and I liked it at first but thinking of some examples changing it like that makes things more complicated instead of easier to read.
That's why I prefer delimiters.

I think this says more than my first post ~♪
