Fix the Game Clock

[McP]

Hi
The Ingame Clock of rmxp calculates the time in the playtime window somehow by dividing the overall frames by the current frame rate...as far as i have figured out.
Now if the game lags or runs a bit slower than it should, the time gets messed up.
Since I dont want to play with a stopwatch besides me, I'd like to ask if there is something out there or someone who can alternate the way the time is calculated independant from the current fps.

aand bump...maybe this is more of a script request?

You could use the PC's time and just record the start time and current time and subtract the seconds. It should be a simple enough thing to do, look for scripts that mess with the computer's time. I'll see if I can find anything that might work, but I don't have RMXP here so I can't test anything.

Time.now returns the current time.
I used it to synchronise my introduction with music, for the same reason (and if the player decides to switch windows, pausing the graphics but not the music).
Make it store the time in a global variable or something when you load, then when you save etc, add the difference to the previous play time.
