This script tells you how much money is needed to convert from one currency to another, including the exchange fee. (You may have a few extra coppers after the exchange, because the script always rounds up to the nearest whole number.)

• Fixed bug that caused script to underestimate the amount needed.

Syntax

.EXCH %AMOUNT %FEE

%amount: the desired amount of the currency you need
%fee: the bank's exchange fee, expressed as a whole number

For example, let's say that you're in the Crossing, and you need 4,500 Lirums. Your money is in Kronars, and the bank's exchange fee is 5%. You enter .EXCH 4500 5. After starting the script, you see a menu that prompts you to select your starting currency, which is Kronars. The script then tells you that you need to withdraw 5,922 Kronars if you want 4,500 Lirums.
