XML: "Rule of 6" Realistic Aging Lengths

<< < (3/3)

cwurts:
So if I want to edit this XML file so that the child stage lasts for 7 days, should I tweak the number to be a little bit less or a little bit more than the exact number divisible by 6 (will the game round up, down, or to the nearest round number)?  I mean.... 7/6 equals 1.1666666666......, so should I put it at 1.166 so the game rounds up; 1.167 so the game rounds down, or does it matter?  I want to have the stage lengths at 1-4-7-6-17-30-(elder).  Yes I am very picky.

J. M. Pescado:
If you want to change the number of days that lengths last, adjust the aging "scaling" factors, or just change the Age Length to a higher setting in your options rather than messing with ratios. If you want to do some weirdass stupid shit, this really isn't of any concern to this thread.

Well I've downloaded the "rule of 6" XML file - it's closer to what I want than the one in the game.  I have it open in Postal.  With the kAgingStageLength settings for each age, I understand that a 1 represents 6 years.  Therefore, the 0.25 for babies and 0.75 for toddlers translates to a non whole number (1.5 and 4.5 respectively).  I guess this means that it will round down to 1 day and 4 days in those stages?  Or am I reading this wrong?  Now that I look at it, it seems to rounding down, so I will just change the values and see if it works the way I want it to.

Edit: It's not working so far - Postal will not commit it.  I'll keep trying though.  Any advice?

Edit: I've got it now.
