Advanced Game Time v1.2
By V.M. of D.T.

Introduction
The Advanced version of the Game Time script.

This version features customizable time increments, seconds, minutes, hours, days, weekdays, months, years, you can set them all however you want. As well as a new tinting system, no more taking control of the built in tint, this one uses it's own and comes with support for Khas's lighting effects script (since that's a big deal). And last but not least, message codes to include time variations in your messages!

Features
- Customizable time increments
- Customizable tints
- Message codes!

Screenshots
None at the moment

How to Use
Plug and play and customize if needed.

Some extra custom times I threw together for fun:
Harvest Moon-esque

Code:

Olden times RPG thingy (kinda?)

remaining. Give it time.

umm....

it's great script but can you tint the battle too?
Cuvorio

#3 Aug 9, 2012, 09:33 PM Source

Well why don't you tint it manually?

Using some sort of conditional branch..

But it's complicated...

Ah and by the way nice script you got there Vlue :D

i got some error using this...

after i close my menu...

Script "Khas Awesome Light Effects" Line 442 : NoMethodError occured.

undefined method "opacity=" for nil:NilClass

Well have you been true the :

Code:

#Using KHAS lighting effects script? Turn this on to use that tint
USE_KHAS = false

Vlue

Newer copy up there now that allows you to use the tint in battle (pretty sure it doesn't work with KHAS) and fixes that KHAS opacity= problem.

Script 'Vlue's Time System' line 326:RGSSError occurred.

failed to create bitmap
I'm getting the above error at the title menu of all places. I'm not sure as to why though...Any ideas as to what's wrong?

Hmmm, It'd be great if the in game clock could sync up with the PC's clock, like in Animal Crossing and Pokemon D/P.

Would it be possible to be able to use notetags in maps to determine if time passes on them or not? It would be super handy! But it doesn't matter too much, I really like this script anyway, and have put it into my game. Thanks a bunch. :)

Hmm, using any custom title scripts?

That's not a bad idea, I'll look into it.

edit

Removed All of my scripts and it still crashes :(

This is the part that keeps giving the error: (Line 326)

self.bitmap = Bitmap.new(Graphics.width,Graphics.height)
Vlue

#12 Aug 27, 2012, 04:07 AM Source

Hmm, when does that error occur at the title screen? Right away, or when returning from the save screen or similar?

Usually a minute or two after starting, and this is coming from when you just launch the game.
Vlue

#14 Aug 27, 2012, 05:18 AM Source

That's bizzare, umm, try changing that line to

self.bitmap = Bitmap.new(544,416)

(or whatever your width/height is) and see if it errors.
TheWisdomcube2000

#15 Aug 27, 2012, 02:06 PM Source

Hmm, still does it.

edit

I Tried using it in a new blank project (after I re downloaded the script), and the error still occurs...

#16 Aug 27, 2012, 05:08 PM Source

Well, I did notice something irregular in the script and fixed it, try getting a fresh copy now and using it.

Hey back again, here's a bug with your new version that I'm getting:

Spoiler

This happens as soon as I start it up :(

#20 Aug 28, 2012, 07:45 PM Source

I did fix that! Just.. in the wrong script (Climate uses the same note thing). Pastebin updated to reflect that fix.
