Latest release (for outdated Vintage Story v1.20.0-pre - v1.20.6):
FreedomUnits-1.1.4.zip  1-click install


Freedom Units features:

  • converts Celsius to Fahrenheit, the only real measurement for temperatures.
  • converts all temperatures everywhere (even where other mods post temperatures).
  • rounds to the nearest tenth of a degree to get rid of those pesky floating point rounding errors in other mods.
  • attempts to resolve delta temperatures (if you find any not working, let me know and I'll get that fixed asap).
  • fixes a spacing issue found in other mods when VTML breaks up the text, like with colors and stuff.
  • no confusing options, configurations, or guis. it just works.
  • made in America! f*@k yeah!

Enjoy! \o/

Bless you, kind sir!

💬 YummyAsbestos, Apr 17th at 2:42 AM

Will we be able to get volume conversions at some point (e.g. from L to gal)?

💬 111, Apr 13th at 11:22 PM

FU = Freedom Units

💬 JimmyMac, Mar 13th at 5:57 PM

Love this mod. Great Job. Only thing I have noticed is the tool tips for things with a burn temp are still in Celsius. I haven't looked at everything in the game but Charcoal, Peat, and Firewood still show C temp in the tool tip

💬 BillyGalbreath , Feb 23rd at 4:49 PM

Glad you figured it out Umberman \o/

I think you might be confused about how the modinfo.json works, Kathanon

The values (including the unspecified defaults) are set to:

"side": "Universal",
"requiredOnClient": true,
"requiredOnServer": false,

This allows the server to tell clients to install the mod, while also allowing clients to use it on servers that do not have it installed. This is the intended behavior for the majority of installs.

If I make your suggested change then servers will not load the mod at all, thus unable to tell connecting clients to install it. This is not the intended behavior for the majority.

If you don't want your server to tell connecting clients to install the mod, then don't install the mod on your server.

If you are in the unique situation where you are hosting a server from your single player setup, then you will be required to modify the modinfo.json to handle your unique setup. Unfortunately I cannot handle this scenario and the intended one for the majority at the same time, so I picked the majority. Sorry.

💬 Kathanon, Feb 22nd at 4:27 PM

BillyGalbreath It's your mod. We'll just continue using a modified version that doesn't force it on everyone joining a multiplayer game.

Umberman If you are using a dedicated server, then you'll need to look in VintagestoryData\ModsByServer for the mods used when playing on the server.

💬 Umberman, Feb 22nd at 4:21 PM

@BillyGalbreath Figured out the problem, despite both me and the host uninstalling the mod, inside the "Mods By Server" folder was still a freedom units file, which was causing it to still display for me. 

💬 BillyGalbreath , Feb 22nd at 3:21 PM

What is currently in modinfo.json is what I intended Kathanon

Impossible. This mod literally changes nothing in the game. It only alters text right before it's being rendered on screen Umberman

💬 Umberman, Feb 21st at 5:15 AM

IDK if this is the exact cause but I uninstalled the mod after using it in a world to test something and now after uninstalling all my temps are in F, even after deleting the mod. I tried to reinstall and then delete but it seems like it was half converting somethings and not others. if you could figure out what's up with that, that'd be cool

💬 Kathanon, Feb 21st at 3:42 AM

It looks like you intended this mod to be client-side only. If you add the following line to modinfo.json, then the game won't consider it when syncing mods with the server:

"side": "Client",

💬 Junrall, Feb 13th at 8:12 AM

TheGecko

I removed the mod then added it back in and had thought that had fixed it... but now I'm thinking I must have messed with the window settings. Will keep this in mind when it happens again! Thank you!

💬 TheGecko, Feb 13th at 3:57 AM

Junrall

I had the same issue with that as well. Try changing your window settings to something else and then setting it back to what it was. worked for me, no clue why.

💬 url_p, Feb 12th at 3:42 AM

you are a god damn patriot

💬 Junrall, Feb 9th at 5:32 AM

BillyGalbreath

In the stats window the body temprature is showing celcius. I'm on version 1.20.3

Also, VS thinks the mod is for version 1.18.8

No errors in logs.

Thanks!

💬 Sbmhawk, Feb 3rd at 8:19 PM

An issue I've noticed with the mod, is that it seems to change the chat as well. If you type "15 deg F" or similar in the chat, it runs the conversion again, turning it into "59­­°F F"

💬 TundraLK, Feb 3rd at 4:32 AM

Murica

💬 Eoin_Lynne, Feb 2nd at 7:42 AM

The mod doesn't seem to be working. This is the only mod I have and it is a fresh instal. Only just got the game. So it's not a mod conflict.

💬 Sisco, Jan 22nd at 8:56 PM

thanks for doing your civic duty by releasing this mod, my freedom senses are tingling.

💬 DankMememachine, Jan 3rd at 12:44 AM

🇺🇸✔️🇺🇸 THIS MOD HAS BEEN FACT CHECKED BY REAL AMERICAN PATRIOTS 🇺🇸✔️🇺🇸

💬 Dirty_Shisno, Dec 26th 2024 at 1:57 PM

Freedom is the only way, Yeah!

💬 Ijkdenem, Dec 9th 2024 at 5:21 PM

does this affect the forge and cooking temps too or just weather temps?

💬 Dilz, Nov 30th 2024 at 9:08 PM

Or, you know, The Cayman Islands, Liberia, Palau, The Federated States of Micronesia, or The Marshall Islands.

💬 Snacker, Nov 15th 2024 at 10:37 PM

A truly patriotic mod! If you don't use this mod, you aren't American.

💬 griffguy42, Sep 13th 2024 at 6:25 PM

i love this mod

💬 WasatchWind, Aug 19th 2024 at 10:25 PM

I've greatly enjoyed this mod having used it thus far, I'm hoping someone will make a mod with a proper AM / PM time format too.

 

💬 Aldern, Jul 16th 2024 at 8:44 AM

Beauteous, exactly what I've needed

💬 Stovesforlife, Jul 2nd 2024 at 6:44 PM

I love stoves. You have brought to life my dreams of understanding the actual temperature of a stove using Fahrenheit, rather than dirty old Celsius. My thanks to you, and God bless America.

💬 sorrel, Apr 2nd 2024 at 3:39 AM

thank god measurements for normal people 

💬 BillyGalbreath , Mar 2nd 2024 at 9:44 PM

Astebrooke, ah yes. The client "warning" for outdated mods. I've warned the devs against it's wording, but I feel my words have fallen on deaf ears. Best to just ignore the client, tbh. Especially when you've done your due diligence and understand the actual context of the situation better than the game does ;)

💬 DanaCraluminum, Mar 2nd 2024 at 4:06 PM

Astebrooke Ignore triangle

💬 Astebrooke, Mar 2nd 2024 at 8:37 AM

Apparently it's a confusion between this site and the game.  The link on this site says it's for game version 1.19, but in game it throws a caution sign saying the mod is looking for version 1.18.  It works fine, just the game being wary.

💬 BillyGalbreath , Feb 28th 2024 at 10:27 PM

I think you are confused, Astebrooke. What do you mean when you say "1.18 version"?

I never released a version labeled "1.18" or even "1.19" for that matter. All 4 of the versions I've released for this mod (1.1.0, 1.1.1, 1.1.2, and 1.1.3) are all for Vintage Story 1.18.8 and higher (this "higher" means 1.19.x, too)

💬 Astebrooke, Feb 28th 2024 at 8:52 PM

Download says 1.19, but downloads 1.18 version.  Both manual and quick-install.  Q-I link does say it's the 1.18 version if you hover.

💬 BillyGalbreath , Feb 17th 2024 at 12:15 AM

That's got too much freedom.. Calm down Mackeroni

💬 Calous, Feb 16th 2024 at 10:51 PM

Mackeroni oh man, great suggestion. Im cry laughing over here.

 

💬 Mackeroni, Feb 16th 2024 at 10:21 PM

Change liters to hogsheads, you coward.

💬 anythingarax, Feb 4th 2024 at 1:50 PM

Thank you for your service 🦅🍔🎆❤️🤍💙

💬 BillyGalbreath , Jan 18th 2024 at 9:02 PM

GatorGoob

It is safe. I did not re-upload the file. I just edited the entry to the last upload. That's why it doesnt have 1.19 in the versions list of the downloaded file. But I have tested it and it does indeed work as advertised ^_^

💬 GatorGoob, Jan 18th 2024 at 6:05 PM

Apologies if this is a silly comment, as I don't know the ins and outs of Vintage Story modding, but I'm still getting the warning that this mod is requesting version 1.18.8 despite the tags in the files tab saying it supports 1.19.0. Is there something I'm missing, or is it safe to play with this?

Thanks in advance!

Thank you, still am guessing at world creation; but it seems to be working otherwise :)

Appreciated!

💬 Maltiez, Sep 23rd 2023 at 8:17 PM

Can you also make 'Science units' mod and convert all the temperatures into kelvin, "the only scientific measurement for temperatures"?

💬 HostilHobbit, Sep 16th 2023 at 9:55 AM

Thanks for the info i appreciate it

💬 BillyGalbreath , Sep 16th 2023 at 2:30 AM

HostilHobbit

That happens with Extra Info even without this mod installed:

💬 HostilHobbit, Sep 16th 2023 at 2:20 AM

Hey, little bug i noticed is that using this with extra info and looking at a pile of iron bars makes the first temperature reading to save the command for the font color for no reason.

💬 Dmhir, Sep 15th 2023 at 2:24 AM

True heroes wear the American flag as a cape, thank you. You're a hero

💬 Teppich, Sep 14th 2023 at 7:44 PM

Finally, real representation in Vintage Story.

💬 BillyGalbreath , Sep 14th 2023 at 4:52 PM

AlexiosTheSixth

You need to get yourself a swimming pool for that kind of heat. One at least 6 or 7 washing machines big.

💬 AlexiosTheSixth, Sep 14th 2023 at 4:36 PM

My friend said it is 105 bald eagles outside where we live, though tbf we only live a few hundred hamburgers away.

💬 OutcastZeroOne, Sep 14th 2023 at 12:18 AM

Ah yes, a converter for old English Imperial units for Americans who dont know the French Metric system :P

💬 Razorray, Sep 13th 2023 at 11:36 PM

You are a real American hero
