Converting Playing Time to ingame Date and Time

[Gerhald]

Hello,

Can someone explain how to convert the script's 'get playing time' function, that returns the number of seconds someone has played the game, can be converted to the ingame date and time that is e.g. displayed in the message logs and player information section (764-07-01 00.00 format)

Or explain how the days, months and years are calculated by parsing the playing time?

Greetings

Not sure, but I guess that one simply follows:
60s=1min
[Edit ]60min=1d
60min=1h
24h=1d
30d=1m
12m=1y

and adds to the date from the start of game. Takes some simple number crunching.

X3 has a Script Editor command that does the formatting, but X2 apparently not.

jlehtone is right - here's the exact formula:

$temp = $PlayingTime/86400 + 275220
$Year = $temp/360
$Month = ($temp/30) % 12 + 1
$Day = $temp % 30 + 1
$Hours = ($PlayingTime / 3600) % 24
$Minutes = ($PlayingTime / 60) % 60

60min=1d

I'm not so sure if he is right

No wonder I seem to run out of time all the time ...
