You understood it in the right way.

Hm, I could implement the singular and plural form. It looks better than the degree symbol, imho?

I know, but TDW has assigned the comma as a field-seperator in his automation.py-Script. I have looked into it and found the function which is reading and processing the shn-file. I'm able to change it there, but we have to be compatible to the other automation-scripts from Trevally, AvM, etc.

If we decide to use "#" instead of "," as field seperator, I could add a query in TDWs scipt, which checks the given format in the shn-File and sets the correct separator for the further instructions. But, BUT(!) it is TDWs work and as I see, he isn't active here at the moment. Furthermore he isn't very amused, if someone is patching in his work...

from his work:

NewUIs with TDC for SH5 by TheDarkWraith
version 7.1.0

YOU HAVE TO BE PATCHED TO v1.2 OF THE GAME!!!

So we need a decision:
1) To accept the period.
2) If someone is in contact with him outside of subsim, to get his contact-data and ask him for permission to add a change to his code.
3) To patch his work as an unofficial patch with a suitable comment and if he will be back here, to get this (only three lines of code) into the official Mod.

At the moment, where if found the problem with comma or period, I decided that I use option 1 and respect TDWs disclaimer.

Sorry, no. As soon as a comma is in use in a comment, the automation.py gives an exception and I can't mask it (\,)

But I want to say, that it is not a bug by TDW or a bad design, it was simply his decision to use the comma as separator for his datastructure.

1.5 instead of 1,5

Not impossible -> I wrote it to my todo-(wish-)list.
