Please will someone make realtime clock?

Post by Xipheas »

Hi.

My friends and I get so absorbed by this game, which is of course a credit to both the devs and the modders!

It's not always helpful to be up into the early hours though, so I wonder if anyone has the skill and time (ha) to create a mod to display real rather than in game time? I can't be the only one to want this!

Continue to be awesome, everybody!

Mod can't do this, be we might add it to the base game.

I had a feeling that might be the case, but that would be brilliant!

I agree with the original poster.
Just having the real time on screen would make a massive difference to my lack of sleep.
I now stop playing hours before I need to go to sleep, so I don't forget to stop, as I know I will accidentally be up 2 hours longer than I want.

And again: viewtopic.php?f=69&t=32966&p=207776&hil ... er#p207776

I suppose Rivatuner can be used without Afterburner but didn't test it.

This is the current best approach.

Well a debug option displayed right under the fps counter?

I've never made a mod, so I'm not sure if it is possible, but can you read the file info from the most recent autosave? If you could, there may be a way to at least give you an approximate time from that. Then for some (let's say) engrossed players, you could at least know that the light outside your house is either from sunrise or sunset.
