Advanced Game Time

Hey back again, that crash at the title screen is back

line 360: RGSSError occurred

failed to create bitmap

 

Oh.. I unfixed that fix I fixed when I added those other things...

Try the new pastebin

 

O ok, thx for the help again lol

edit

I can't seem to get the clock to stay on/visible. As soon as I toggle it on, it hides itself again.

Any ideas?

 

Would it be possible to output the current time into variables?

 

Fine for me... can you paste here your settings in a spoiler so I can look at them?

You can! If you go to Control Variables, there's a script option. Putting in GameTime.hour? would set the variable to the current hour, GameTime.day? would be day of the month, etc.

 

Sure can. Maybe I'm messing something up? Idk sometimes lol

#Advanced Game Time + Night/Day v1.1.4#----------#

#Features: Provides a series of functions to set and recall current game time

# as well customizable tints based on current game time to give the

# appearance of night and day in an advanced and customizable way.

#

#Usage: Script calls:

# GameTime.sec? #current second

# GameTime.min? #current minute

# GameTime.hour? #current hour

# GameTime.hour_nom? #current hour (12-hour)

# GameTime.day? #current day of month

# GameTime.day_week? #current day of the week

# GameTime.month? #current month

# GameTime.year? #current year

# GameTime.year_post("set") #changes the year post to set

# GameTime.pause_tint = true/false #pauses/unpauses tint

# GameTime.change(s,m,h,d,mn,y) #manually set the time

# seconds,minutes,hours,days,months,years

# any can be nil to not be changed

# GameTime.set("handle",n) #increases a certain time portion

# valid arguments are:

# addsec,addmin,addhour,addday

# addmonth,addyear

# GameTime.clock?(true/false) #hides/shows the clock

# GameTime.save_time #saves the current time

# GameTime.load_time #loads the saved time

#

# Message Codes:

# GTSEC #Inputs the current second

# GTMIN #Inputs the current minute

# GTHOUR #Inputs the current hour

# GTDAYN #Inputs the day of the month

# GTDAYF #Inputs the day of the week (full)

# GTDAYA #Inputs the day of the week (abbreviated)

# GTMONN #Inputs the month of the year

# GTMONF #Inputs the name of the month (full)

# GTMONA #Inputs the name of the month (abbreviated)

# GTYEAR #Inputs the current year

#

# Map Note Tags:

# Notime #Stops time from moving in that map

#

#Customization: Set below, in comments.

#

#Examples: GameTime.pause_tint = false

# GameTime.change(nil,30,4,1,1,2012)

# GameTime.set("addyear",5)

# GameTime.clock?(true)

nvm, it was my bad, one of the maps I had was glitching it out. It works fine everywhere else.

 

Didn't know you could do that in VX Ace, thanks!

 

Version 1.2 is now up and going

- Fixed a bug with KHAS that made it not work with maps marked as no tint (That's a big problem!)

- Custom clocks can now have two lines instead of one!

- Notint works differently now, you use map properties note box instead of the array in the script

(Putting Notint into the notebox)

 

Hey Vlue, awesome updates with this. i had a question though. Did you ever get my last question i posted in the topic about your Advanced Climate script? I ask it here because it dealt with cross compatibility with this script.

 

Alright, so I've turned on the custom clock variables thing and I kept getting a bunch of error messages.

So I poked around in the code and found this:

Code:

581	    when "weeklong"
582		  string += daylong.to_s

Since the error kept saying something about "daylong" being an undefined local variable or method, I kept poking around until I found the problem.

Code:

546   def custom(array)
547	  sec = $game_time.sec
548	  sec = "0" + sec.to_s if sec < 10
549	  hour = $game_time.hour
550	  hour >= 12 ? meri = "PM" : meri = "AM"
551	  hour = " " + hour.to_s if hour < 10
552	  hour12 = $game_time.hour
553	  hour12 -= 12 if hour12 > 12
554	  hour12 = 12 if hour12 == 0
555	  minute = $game_time.min
556	  minute = "0" + minute.to_s if minute < 10
557	  dayweek = DAYNAMESABBR[$game_time.dayweek]
558	  dayweekn = DAYNAMES[$game_time.dayweek]
559	  day = $game_time.day
560	  day += 1 unless USE_REAL_TIME
561	  month = $game_time.month
562	  month += 1 unless USE_REAL_TIME
563	  monthn = MONTHNAMES[$game_time.month]
564	  monthna = MONTHNAMESABBR[$game_time.month]
565	  year = $game_time.year

The main problem being this particular snippet:

Code:

557	  dayweek = DAYNAMESABBR[$game_time.dayweek]
558	  dayweekn = DAYNAMES[$game_time.dayweek]
559	  day = $game_time.day

I noticed that when defining the other "long" variables, you used "n" as a suffix to denote it being a "long" variable/method. Therefore through deductive logic I changed the "daylong" from earlier to "dayweekn" and now it works. Just thought I should let you know just in case you overlooked it; I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants to use custom clock labels.

 

Ah nice catch! Got it fixed, thanks. :3

 

Also, for anyone who wants the clock to be on the bottom right like the Basic Time System, just change the X and Y to this:

Code:

82 #X and Y position of clock
83 CLOCK_X = 370
84  CLOCK_Y = 338

Just a tip for those who want it, heh.

 

How do you use the Custom Times you have listed in the main post? I tried replacing that part in the script in my project and a blank project, but it keeps coming up with an error message. I was trying the Harvest Moon-esque one.

 

If copy pasting is messing up you can just play it safe by copying the custom time I have listed and instead of replacing what's already there, just copy it to line 181, it'll be below the other times and will be used instead. It's messy but definitely should work.

 

Question: How does "TIMER_VARIABLES = []" on line 111 work? More specifically, would I enter [25, 26] to have variable 25 handle seconds and 26 to handle minutes? And then, does the variable update with the timer or is it possible to just call a script event that saves the time when it's called?

I'm trying to implement a bank with interest system so I need to be able to save a time before deposit and then calculate the difference in times upon withdraw. For this, I'd also need to know if the variables can save elapsed time as well.

 

Timer Variables is where you enter the id number of certain variables to have them count down to 0 every time update (minutes or seconds based on how it's set up)

If you want to set a variable to equal the current hour or minute there's a script option in Control Variables where you can input something like...

GameTime.hour?

or

GameTime.minute?

and so on.

 

Thanks, it worked.

 

Ahh, alright. Thanks, Vlue.

 

So, I've run into a small problem. What I'm trying to do is after the player sleeps at the inn, the new day must dawn, let's say at 8 o'clock.

I've tried several ways, including:

V[04] = GameTime.day? , and then { GameTime.change(nil, nil, 8, \V[04]+1, nil, nil) }

V[04] = GameTime.day? + 1, and then { GameTime.change(nil, nil, 8, \V[04], nil, nil) }

{ GameTime.change(nil, nil, 8, GameTime.day?

​

+1, nil, nil) }

​

but causes the game to crash, as it's not recognised by the interpreter.

Any ideas, how can I put the variable value inside the script call?

 

Yes, \v is only for messages and.. whatnot. In script calls it's $game_variables[#]

Try..

GameTime.change(nil,nil,8)

GameTime.set("addday", 1)
