Sorry for the error in the script. I've fixed it.

Ah, thanks for the script, going to see if it works better than the method I did (though I've encountered no issues with the way I do it, but I usually stray from editing core scripts since if I recall you're not supposed to lol ><)

 

This is what I do for example:

 

 

 

 def refresh
contents.clear
draw_currency_value(value, currency_unit, 4, 0, contents.width - 8)
   draw_icon(706, 0, 0)

 

In Window Gold I add the 'draw icon' line which makes it display like so:

 

 

 

 

Since I also liked seeing the currency "vocab" next to it, but a visual representation if the type of coin it is on the far left.

 

 

Was that what you meant by instead of "default right size (the typical 'G' vocab)"?

Your way is great. I see no problem with modifying the core scripts once it is your personal game project. I may have done it your way too but:

 

Daemonium had requested for the "G" to be on the left side. He also asked for a gold icon instead of the G, also to be on the left side. So I made it an option. I try to avoid telling him to modify the core script in case something goes wrong later on, so I made the script and added a few customisation options.

Ah ok, yeah the script is better since it does add more options to do it a certain way ^^

v1.01 Update: Compatibility with YEA - Ace Core Engine's Numeric Digit Grouping feature.

[regendo 204]

That looks great!

I'm currently working on a script that supports multiple currencies (with changing money, exchange rates and other stuff), so when I release it, I'll make sure it's compatible with yours.

v1.02 Update: Ability to set gold window's location for scene_menu.

[sanggameboy 7]

It's beautiful !

 

 

Font make it look better
