Summary0015687: 1.030 Rampant rounding errors and too many digits displayed on some screens.
DescriptionSome screens still list credit gains with 4 or 5 decimal places. It is kind of jarring when it tells me I can gain 5.00014 credits from a mission. I think I may have seen a few too many digits displayed on some influence and attitude changes too.

It may be a partial cause for rounding errors happening on some screens. The attached screenshot on issue 0015686 shows other problems, but it also shows some rounding errors in attitude values.

Maybe use a double to store all values in the code, but display no digits past the decimal point for credits and one digit past the decimal point for attitude/influence?

I seem to be missing a screenshot? :)

Any screens you see this on, please do let me know. It's just an artifact from us converting from an int to a double at one point.

File is uploaded to show rounding errors on an attitude screen. It is the same screenshot attached to 0015686 which is a different problem with the predicted changes being wrong. I will upload any others that I find as I play next time.

edit: reading this again, maybe rampant was too strong of a word :)

Okay... where is the credit amount? Are you referring to the Current Credit number? I'll grant you that 9,037 looks too much like a period than a comma. :/

sorry, the pic I uploaded shows some problems in attitude rounding (as well as wrong predicted changes as in 0015686).

In the pic it shows 54.3 + 30 = 84.71?

I will try to look for the credit one and any others I can find

Right, I understand on the attitude thing.

I uploaded another screenshot of too many influence decimal places on the hostile acts screen and also the save it comes from. See "currently 228.2663"

I think you were right about the comma vs decimal point that I was confused about at some point relating to credit gains. They are practically indistinguishable in the game font, so I was probably mistaken and you can consider this part of the ticket closed. Maybe improve the comma character or just remove them from this game?
