Hi,

People may have scripts based on the current output.

You should have introduced a new parameter which modifies the output
behaviour in the way you wanted, rather than modifying the existing
behaviour.

Please consider reverting your change (which is a good idea, btw) and
adding a new modifier that outputs the value(s), rather than a %age.

Adrian
