Day/Night system

[fuzzy_memories]

I'm not looking for a Day/Night system (I'd just use CCOA's otherwise)

Question 1. Does ccoa's Day/Night system use actual time? If so, where can I find it (looked on forums, and download manager)

Question 2. My system replaces the step counter with the clock (Cliché I know, but i'm new to RGSS) How do i get double-digit time for anytime below 9AM? (instead of 3:4 it displays 03:04)

Question 3.
Can someone help me come up with a formula that changes screentone according to the time?
Eg: $hours*4 = $tonered (which wouldn't work I know)

I hope you had a chance to read my reply on the temporary forum, since apparently all posts there wasn't transferred back here. If not...

Answer 1.
Have you tried The Lost Script section?

Answer 2.
Just use something like this:

Spoiler: Two-digit clock

time_to_show = sprintf("%02d:%02d", hour_to_show, minute_to_show)
#now you can draw text as usual
self.contents.draw_text(x, y, width, height, time_to_show, alignment)

Answer 3.
There are many approaches to do this. For example, you can determine time periods (the easiest way is by dividing the 24-hour clock by hours). Each period will have its own screen tone. Let's say...

6 am to 10 am: slightly bright
11 am to 3 pm: normal bright
4 pm to 6 pm: a little bit red
7 pm to 8 pm: slightly dark
9 pm to 3 am: very dark
4 am to 5 am: not too dark, not too bright

Now, each time you update your clock, check the hour. Change the screen tone if necessary. To change the tone, use $game_screen.start_tone_change(tone, duration), where tone is the screen tone and duration is how long the transition will be (maybe in frames). You can define a tone by using Tone.new(red, green, blue, gray); all four values are the same as using Change Screen Color Tone in event editor.

Shall you need more help, just ask.
