Lets play with bitcoins 😄
amber verge
oh goodness 😅
imagine launching up the game one day only to realize your company lost 30% of its value
keen saffron
lmao
BTC is at least more or less 1:1 ^^
Oh lmao, do you know which currency i forgot?
USD 😄
amber verge
😂
i mean usd is set to standard
i dont think it's that needed
standard is equal to usd **
keen saffron
Ah ok
Youre right
Because all other currencies are relative to USD
If you want to try it will forex & crypto: https://github.com/daredloco/CurrencyLauncher/releases/download/v1.1.1/win10.7z 😄
Or here, if you dont trust my skills 😄
amber verge
oh wait does your launcher update it every day?
amber verge
i'll look into that tomorrow morning
for now i gotta work on some other stuff!
thanks for making this 😄
keen saffron
You're welcome 😄
The launcher isn't a real launcher at the moment ^^
But it's not too difficult to make it one 😄
All it does at the moment is generating a Currency.xml file at it's root folder. All you need to do then is copy it to your Mods folder

Cant you add the launcher to steam workshop so that its root folder always is the mods folder?
Oh i just read you have to actually launch it to update?
Cant u launch it everytime a pc starts?
Or everytime when steam is active
keen saffron
Cant u launch it everytime a pc starts?
I could, with autostart. But its easier to just start the game trough the launcher in the future. Today i will make another update 😅
keen saffron

Cant add it to the workshop sadly
rain socket
Why not?
keen saffron
Because its an external EXE
The code has nothing to do with Software Inc, it's a standalone app
All it does is download the newest exchange rates and saves it in a format software inc can read
And a little magic to get the format right (if the currency symbol is in the front or the back, if there is a distance between the symbol and the value etc.)
keen saffron
New Update 1.2 is on Github, now you can add the location to Steam and it will autostart the game after updating 😄
Oh Update 1.2.1 will come shortly lmao...
rain socket
How would i install it?
Its just a data mod right?
Not the launcher but the currency file
keen saffron
Its just a data mod right?
it's a special file, but yes it goes in the same folder
keen saffron
Now it's updated to Version 1.2.1, this version includes the launcher abilites ^^
All you've to do is select Option 3 inside the menu and set your Steam path, the app will then try to do all the rest for you 😄
Should work with custom folders ^^
@amber verge test it 😄

Github saves your files to the cloud right? So i could use github to work from 2 places/devices on 1 project?
keen saffron
Yes, and Github has versioning, so a must if you do anything

👎🏻 👎 👎🏻 👎 👎🏻 👎 👎🏻 👎 👎🏻 👎 👎🏻
New version has everything, just run auto_forex.bat to do everything automatically

Yes, and Github has versioning, so a must if you do anything
You can also just use git/git server if you have the patience to set up your own SCM
keen saffron
My backup is on my private servers, but I prefer to keep the stuff on Github, because I don't have to worry about much
And I've a few libraries up on github which i often use in my projects, so its just easier and more confortable 😄
But you're totally right 🙂
stark lion
I only know this because I've spent the past hour or two trying to set it up on my NAS just it to say .gitconfig can't be found.

I don't know if you account for this, but 1 Software Inc. currency unit is equal to 1 us dollar in 2015, so to get correct exchange rates you need account for inflation since 2015, and then the local currency conversion
keen saffron
I didn't take this into account 😦
floral crystal
keen saffron
I don't know if you account for this, but 1 Software Inc. currency unit is equal...
Can I call a currency "default" to overwrite the default value or is it hardcoded?
floral crystal
I think it's hardcoded
keen saffron
Ok no problem, i will just do some more math 😄
