This userscript converts ARX prices to real currencies and updates the values on the Elite Dangerous DLC store automatically.
This script runs inside ViolentMonkey,
so in order for it to work, you have to install the ViolentMonkey Extension from here.
Once ViolentMonkey is installed, clicking on https://github.com/ShadowLp174/ArxConverter/raw/main/arx-converter-userscript.user.js
should open a prompt asking you if you want to install ArxConverter. Click install and you should be good to go! :)
Let's try converting 17,000 ARX to GBP:
The scripts first looks for the highest possible discounted amount it can get from https://www.elitedangerous.com/store/arx.
In this case, that is the 16,800 Arx for £9.59 offer.
Now that it has found that, it calculates the remaining ARX (here 200) using the lowest tier.
For GBP that is the 5000 ARX per £2.99, meaning we pay around 0.06p per ARX. Multiplied by 200, our remaining ARX value, we get about 11.96p.
Add this to our base price of £9.59 and round to 2 decimal places and we get to £9.71.
Please don't hesitate to create an issue if you think a different approach makes more sense.
This script supports GBP, EUR and USD. To select on of them, edit the value of useCurrency (first line of code after the comments) to either 0, 1 or 2.
