Disable scientific notation

[guiismiti]

Hi,

Search for 1e+0 or scientific notation returned no results.

What I need is simple - disable scientific notation. As you can see, the value of 1000000 in the top right hud is being displayed in scientific notation as 1e+006.



That just doesn't look good.

These are the values I'm using in this case:

		self.rank = 6;
level.rankpoints[7] = 1000000;
self.nextrankpoints = level.rankpoints[self.rank + 1]; 
	

and this is the code for the hud:

		    if(isdefined(self.hud_maxxp))
        self.hud_maxxp destroy();

    self.hud_maxxp = newClientHudElem(self);
    self.hud_maxxp.x = -62;
    self.hud_maxxp.y = 15;
    self.hud_maxxp.alignx = "left";
    self.hud_maxxp.aligny = "middle";
    self.hud_maxxp.horzAlign = "right";
    self.hud_maxxp.vertAlign = "top";
    self.hud_maxxp.fontScale = 1;
    self.hud_maxxp.label = (&"MP_SLASH");
    self.hud_maxxp setValue(self.nextrankpoints);
    self.hud_maxxp.sort = 9971; 
	

Thanks in advance.


P.S. Coronel is not a typo, it's portuguese for Colonel.

the only thing that comes into my mind is: if this hud is static (no fade, move, scale) use a menu + client cvar

I'm thinking about converting this hud into a text hud, but it's a workaround... not the best option.

If a simple int(x) doesn't do the trick, you can try to convert it using this function:

		roundDecimal(f, decimals)
{
    if(!isDefined(decimals)) decimals = 1;
    whole = int(f);
    switch(decimals)
    {
        case 5: fraction = (int(100000 * (f - whole) + 0.5)) / 100000; break; // 5 decimals
        case 4: fraction = (int(10000 * (f - whole) + 0.5)) / 10000; break; // 4 decimals
        case 3: fraction = (int(1000 * (f - whole) + 0.5)) / 1000; break; // 3 decimals
        case 2: fraction = (int(100 * (f - whole) + 0.5)) / 100; break; // 2 decimals
        default: fraction = (int(10 * (f - whole) + 0.5)) / 10; // 1 decimal
    }
    return(whole + fraction);
}
