Why not add feature that auto add dot as decimal separator when the game start?

[exdeathbr (OP)]

My country use comma as decimal separator. 

To not have to change by myself the stuff I made some bat
The bat change the decimal separator to dot
open the game
and then when I quit it, it change back the decimal separator to comma

reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International" /v sDecimal /t REG_SZ /d .  /f
aurora
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International" /v sDecimal /t REG_SZ /d , /f

This sounds like something that would be easy to code, on the game, why not add something this on the game?

Actually Registry hacks in VB 6 are not as easy as you'd think. Much much easier in later versions of VS.

Plus I REALLY don't want Aurora messing with global/registry settings on my computer.  It is not commercial software, and is not guaranteed to exit gracefully.  For example of the risks, I think someone recently complained that Aurora crashed on them and left the blue/gold windows coloring scheme in place.

Actually I've found that Aurora just leaves that on its own, it's really rather annoying. I've gotten to saving my theme right before I boot the program to make an easy shortcut to undoing it.

If you use the exit command in the menu, it reverts. If you use the X to close, it doesn't.

This windows theme stuff happens with me also.

Also, this aurora hack idea i am proposing here would not be default.  You would need to select in game if you want to enable that (but them, after selected next time you join the game it would auto select to you).

in all honesty aurora should have been updated to VB.NET or C# long ago, I can see it being simple enough to recode for C#, but it would take A TON of time

Agreed, but then you have the decision... "Rewrite VB6 code to current .NET, or improve/expand/fix the current code."

All comes down to how Steve sees the best use of his time.

Considering that Aurora use VB6 we should be glad we can start it on modern PC at all...

 Odd.  On my win7x64 PC the colour scheme reverts no matter how Aurora is closed, be it 'Exit', the 'X' or Ctrl+Alt+Delete
