Need this to be modified to include AM and PM

Script Request Template
Hey all, this is a request to modify a day/night script to include am and pm. Meaning 24 hours, but only up to 12 for am and 12 for pm. And also, tell me how I would make a condition for something to happen in my game depending on what time it is.

Other Scripts I am using (in order):
I don't think adding AM and PM will conflict with any of my other scripts, but I have a lot of scripts installed.
Here is my scripts.rxdata. Just paste it and you will see exactly what scripts I am using and by who they were made.
http://www.sendspace.com/file/51gdqc

Thank you to anyone who is willing to take on this task.

EDIT:
Also, it can keep it's 24 hour scheme, but I just want it to DISPLAY in 12 hour format in the menu. Meaning, you don't really have to change anything in the script if you can get it to display it in 12 hour AM and PM format. Also, class Window_GameStats is really class Window_PlayTime if it matters or makes it any easier.

 

[second_crimson]

Okay. This should do the trick. Though you should know that the additional AM and PM makes the clock hit the Y in the day name. You might need to play around with the size of the window and the positioning of the info.

This is great! Thank you second_crimson! You work fast! I'll put your name in the script so I can know who to put in the credits (I noticed you didn't do it). It works perfectly, just as I wanted it.
Thanks again.

Also, does anyone know how I would go about setting events to happen at a certain time with this script?

 

[second_crimson]

You're most welcome.

If you want to set things to happen at a certain time, you'll have to pass the hour, minute, etc. values into some variables.

To do that, just insert this code above Main as a new script.

#===========================================

# Pass Time into Variables

# a quick fix by Second_Crimson - 3/30/09

#===========================================

class Scene_Map

  alias crimson_update update

  def update

    @total_sec = Graphics.frame_count / Graphics.frame_rate

    $game_variables[1] = (@total_sec / 60 / 24) % 7

    $game_variables[2] = (@total_sec / 60) % 24

    $game_variables[3] = (@total_sec % 60)

    crimson_update

  end

end

Now the day of the week will be in variable 1 (should be 0 for Sunday, 1 for Monday, etc.) Hour will be in variable 2, and minutes will be in variable 3. Hours will still be in 24 hour time, so as to reduce the complexity of handling the variables.

If you're already using 1, 2, and 3 (likely you are), you can change any of them by changing the number in the brackets (i.e., $game_variables 

 

[Yin]

THANKS AGAIN! Once again, you work very fast. This also works like a charm!

 

[Yin]

OK, so I edited the script a little more and it works like it should. But now, when I try to manually tint the screen, it doesn't. What do I do? Here is the modified script.

[second_crimson]

The reason it does that is because the script writes the tints into the map code, meaning it will always retint to the appropriate tint for the appropriate time of day. If you like I can fix it so that this can be turned off. Would you like to be able to turn it off via game switch or via script call?

 

[Yin]

Ummm, a game switch would be great, thanks!

Now by turning game switch 15 on, you prevent the automatic changing of the screen tint. Know that if the screen tint is dark and you turn switch 15 on, you still will have to change the screen tint manually to whatever you want it.

Thank you so much! I'm learning so much just from seeing the modifications (I made some modifications too, by looking at what you did.) Also, it works flawlessly. Thanks again!

This is the most updated version. Maybe not much changes. I'm trying to learn how to make the refresh fade the new events in because right now, they just instantly appear. Also, I'm trying to make it so that another switch makes time stop.
So far my attempts at stopped time have been filled with errors. I just keep deleting it and starting over :haha:

EDIT: The changes you make are so simple, but to me I think I'm thinking too hard on how to do things. I understand it when I see it, but I can't think of it myself. I guess I'm weird.

The set_time method now just looks a bit better. I added the @timeout public instance variable and let the user choose between the original set_time method or any of the other 3 simple methods to set gameplay time correctly.

With this new version of the Game_System add-on script now you should be able to "stop time" ingame.

In any Window script, namely Window_PlayTime or Window_GameStats or anything else, you may need to modify some methods like I did in Window_PlayTime (see just below Game_System add-on script).

Now time should have stopped for good... (Actually it didn't, it just makes the player think gameplay time has stopped just because it's not refresh anymore.)

Of course, you may think now that it won't work if you reenable the game playtime. We'll need to do something to make it remember the specific time when playtime has stopped.

Edit...

I forgot to post a new public instance variable and the last 2 simple add-on methods for the Game_System class.

I edited the script above once again.

 

[Yin]

I guess you would just re set the time manually to where it left off... How? I don't know exactly. :haha:

 

[kyonides]

Well, I already did that, it was quite simple.
You should call Game_System this way to make it work

$game_system.stop_time
$game_system.timeout = true

Now even if Graphics.frame_count is always running (btw this is a must), people won't notice it because the respective ingame playtime window doesn't refresh the time data.

Once you think you should reenable the time flow, call the script like this

$game_system.time

And it'll reset the current Graphics.frame_count count to the previous count before we "stop time".

Edit...

Now you can copy the new version of Game_System add-on script, I already provided the things (2 public instance variables and 2 extra methods) I left out before.

Edit...

I just modified the script once again to change both variables attributes from attr_reader to attr_accessor. I also changed the set_min, set_hour and set_day methods so they won't add / substract any minutes, hours, days to the playtime if $game_system.timeout is set to true.

I can't say for sure if it won't lag for brief periods of time, but it definitely works... except for the moment when you save your game... (Window_SaveFile still shows the actual playtime.)

Edit...

Now after I modified Scene_Save's write_save_data method Window_SaveFile will let us know that time actually stopped (if $game_system.timeout flag is set to true).

 

[Yin]

Ok, great I got it. It's pretty late... Or early, I should say (4:43AM) So, I'll check it tomorrow/today. (It's still yesterday to me if I haven't slept. :grin:

 

[kyonides]

Well, after several edits (maybe too many of them) the Game_System add-on script is stable and I even modified Scene_Save to make sure it'd save the time when "it stopped". If you save it and load the saved game later, the script will work flawlessly AFAIK.

 

[Yin]

Yep, works even with all the stuff me and secondcrimson added. Thanks!
