Time Counter.

[ceriux]

Would be able to know what time it is in game time... since the blacksmith in edana only opens at 7 and i have no idea what time it is -.-

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

Bind a key to "time". Now hit that key and look in the bottom-right of your screen.
Or change the time yourself using settime [value] in the console ([value] ranges from 0 to 24).

 

[ceriux]

would still be nice to have it as part of the HUD or something in a patch

There's also a huge clock tower in Edana, which is actually a cool feature.

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

I've noticed that the in-game clock goes out of sync with the actual game time, after a while.

i thought that clock didnt work?

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

It works pretty good but after a few in-game hours it's not accurate anymore.

 

[Jelly]

If you do the settime command, it follows accurately I believe.

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

Yes, but only for a certain amount of time. The clock is a bit slower (or faster, but I think it's slower) than the time, regardless of what time you set the game time to.

Well, I'm sorry we don't have digital quartz crystal accuracy.

Suspect it has something to do with the hand velocity not being quite equal to the time. Be hard to compensate for with any accuracy (especially since script math only lets you float two places.) Tis strange though - it looks as though it should reset every hour.
