Item prices

Price in game files is displayed in cents, on the wiki the unit is $ but to have the right amount displayed you have to x10 (1000 in game files = $10,00 you must write 100 in the wiki for it to appear correctly). I noticed alot of errors due to this. Does anyone know where this come from ?

First, thanks for all the excellent contributions. Regardless of the errors or the inconsistencies in the display of prices in the templates, always create or update items with the price shown in the source code or json. Fixing the wiki's price formula is just a matter of modifying the affected templates (such as Template:Melee_weapon). If the items themselves were modified to fix the display, then all those items would also need to be updated once the templates were fixed, which increases the workload unnecesarily. Anyway, while the price discrepancies might affect other sections, in the particular case of items, this area of the wiki was half-cooked and never actually updated, so errors in general are to be expected. It was in my TODO list years back, but never finished (nor properly started), as I was planning on implementing the semi-automatic updating process back then and manually updating the items or the templates would have been a waste of time and energy. --Kenoxite (talk) 23:59, 18 December 2014 (PST)
