  remote.call("TimeDisplay", "SetSetting", "show_clock", true/false)      -- controls display of day time clock              [default: true]
  remote.call("TimeDisplay", "SetSetting", "show_run_clock", true/false)  -- controls display of run time clock              [default: true]
  remote.call("TimeDisplay", "SetSetting", "style", "12h/24h")            -- style for day time clock                        [default: 24h]
  remote.call("TimeDisplay", "SetSetting", "location", "left/top/center") -- display location                               [default: left]

Seems quite handy

A new standard mod for me. Could use a technology and / or a special item to make it an upgrade for the player.

Let's assume that in 3X century on another planet the guy just happen to have a watch
Think of it as of flashlight, it just exists.

p.s. player could combine few stones and build the "gadget", but I'm not a fun of cluttering inventory more than necessary.

To run this mod with v0.10.x:

- rename the Directory to "TimeDisplay_1.0.0" (add .zip if you use the zip).

That's all.

[StoneLegion]

Thanks for this mod. Changing the zip name solved the loading issues in 0.10.9.

Is this mod still being maintained? If not, is there a viable alternative?

[Degraine]

Seems to work okay in 11.3, although repositioning the clock with the console commands doesn't seem to be working.

EDIT: Correction, it works in existing saves, but creating new games does not work while the mod is active.

i only changed "game.oninit" for "game.onevent(defines.events.onplayercreated"
SP remote.call("TimeDisplay", "SetSetting", "location", "left/top/center") no funciona, but don't crash.

[djnekkid]

is it possible to get this updated to 11.5 ? Its soo nice to have during speedruns

[djnekkid]

I actually fixed it myself, it were merely to change the name of the folder.

Here is a working zip

[Nova]

Does that work with 0.11.6?

[berni1212]

Does that work with 0.11.6?

Re: [MOD 0.10.x] Time Display - v1.0.0 !

[L0771]

Does that work with 0.11.6?

I think yes, factorio 0.11.6 only are big changes in multiplayer.

[dopefish]

Does that work with 0.11.6?

It's running fine with 0.11.6 for me, after modifying the folder name.

[FishSandwich]

Hey-- can someone update this to work with 0.11.13? It'd be very helpful for me in my PvP series.

[Frostea]

Fixed it to work with 11.13.
It was already working if you started a brand new game with it. Now it is able to load even in existing saves. I only tested it on a few of my saves so please report any issues.

[FishSandwich]

Woop thanks Frostea, you're awesome!

Edit: Just tried it in multiplayer, factorio crashes on loading any map. =(

[Frostea]

Ack, I don't have a second system to test multiplayer functionality. Can you post the error? Might be able to dig out something that works.

Ack, I don't have a second system to test multiplayer functionality. Can you post the error? Might be able to dig out something that works.

well the obvious issue is that game.player can not be used in MP with more than 1 player, you have to use the game.players table (and either a loop or a playerindex from player-related events, other than onputitem). game.players is also available in single player (just it'll never have more than one player) so there doesn't need to be separate code for each either.
Now, I can't test this either, but in the PvP mod code I used this function to handle the issue, just include that and change game.player.print calls into printToAll calls (hint, use search and replace lol)

Code: Select all

function printToAll(msg)
  for _, player in ipairs(game.players) do
    player.print(msg)
  end
end

Probably a few other similar cases...
