but it has little effect upon the days temperatures with a high of 85 and a low of 65.
So hot enough to simmer one's soup? Or maybe freezing cold?

Your physics teacher would be sad if they saw you using numbers without units GM-sama.
Sorry about that. I just wrote it like I'm used to hearing it on the radio. They don't go "It's 85F!" They just say "High of 85" But given the incredibly diverse playerbase here, thanks for the catch so I can fix it.

18-30 C or so, in this case. Rather pleasant.

Is it possible to add custom BbCodes to phpBB? We've got temperatures/distances conversion problems about every game, if it was possible to have something like a [temperature farenheit=85] that would automagically print 30°C/85°F in the post, that would solve the issue once and for all.

Possibly, but that's probably something I'd have to ask for the board admin to tackle, and they're rather busy. Google will translate it for me, and I'll remember to do it going forward :)

It,s worth remembering for scene purposes when trying to figure out how much strife you should have- at the end of each scene, strife resets to a *maximum* of half composure, so you should never start a particular thread with more than that.

(Very applicable to spars where strife will likely be earned)

Can you check if you have the enough rights to access the page described here?

If so, add the following doublet:

EDIT: Please refer to updated version of the code there: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=19&p=3864#p3864

Code: Select all

[fahrenheit]{NUMBER}[/fahrenheit]

Code: Select all

<form onmouseenter="result.value=' / ' + (({NUMBER}-32)*5/9).toFixed(2) + ' °C'">
<span>{NUMBER} °F</span>
<output name="result"/>
</form>
Then this one:

Code: Select all

[celsius]{NUMBER}[/celsius]

Code: Select all

<form onmouseenter="result.value=' / ' + ({NUMBER}*9/5+32).toFixed(2) + ' °F'">
<span>{NUMBER} °C</span>
<output name="result"/>
</form>
(check the box for them to be displayed among standard options, and add a helpful description text if you feel like it)

If I got my code right, from now on, typing either:

Code: Select all

[fahrenheit]85[/fahrenheit]
Or:

Code: Select all

[celsius]29[/celsius]
Should display something like (rounding is a thing) on hover*:

Code: Select all

29 °C / 85 °F
If that works well, I'll try to do a similar plugin for distances later.

*I didn't find a simple way (i.e. without adding a script tag) to have it show up directly on page load. If any coder lurking around has an idea, may they speak.
