Client-side /time Options

Aug 15, 2009 skelbley08 link
A few of us online were discussing adding an option to the client-side program to allow changing the user's time zone that gets output with /time to be some variant of GMT-#. Should be easier than most requests :-p

I'm against.
Game should by default always display the same time for everyone, there's enough confusion over time as is.
That being said, additional time displays would be fine, could be easily done with a plugin too.

How about maybe a separate command, maybe like a /usertime ?

there actually is a way to do it, slime knows. he changed mine.

EDIT: My mistake, that is the plug VO TIME, which is customizable

Where did you get that plugin? I didn't see anything like it on the wiki. On that note, could we have a page or something on this site to post plugins, rather than have to dig through the community projects forum for them?

vo time used to stand alone, but now it is part of the Toaster Crush Plugin Suite (TCS).

EDIT: heh, it could be called 'VO Clock'

So this may be a dumb question, but how do I change the time-zone?

oh crap, i can't remember. maybe somebody else can answer that one. i vaguely remember either adding or removing a percent sign (%) in front of the time in the VO Clock Options ... maybe

I was able to configure it to give me the time in EST using the instructions it has there. It was tricky but not too hard.
