[GCA5] Disad Self-Control Rounding

Phil Masters · 02-09-2022, 10:53 AM

I have a character, created using GCA 4, with Compulsive Carousing (9), which the software evaluated (I believe correctly) as worth -7 points. I've just converted her over to GCA 5 and re-synched her, and that's now evaluated at -8 points.

Is there a setting I need to change or something?

Can confirm. Aditionally it seems that the cost of modified Disadvantages get all erroneously rounded 'in the negative direction'.

Well that's really frustrating. I thought we'd put all these little things to bed ages ago.

I'll try and figure out why things have gone awry.

(Actually, I think It's entirely possible that it's because I added code to round modifier calcs to avoid issues with floats.)

Okay, not quite *exactly* what I thought, but related, so broken very recently when I was trying to fix other things related to floating point issues.

I believe this should be fixed when we post the next program update.

Very sorry about that. I should have tested that previous fix better.

Should today's update have fixed this?

Imion · 02-11-2022, 05:48 PM

AFAICT the cost of Disadvantages get rounded correctly with 5.0.170.0.

Armin · 02-11-2022, 07:40 PM

Yes, this update should fix it.

Yep, that works (now I've got the new release correctly installed). Thanks for the quick resolution.
