GMT Online System:
I am looking for an interesting system that can be used when online to obtain the current time based on GMT.
Give your script a name, or list the exact name & link to existing script

Flat out... an RMXP system. I don't mind Multi-Platform systems mind you.

Detailed Description:
I am currently working with the NetPlay 2.0 system by Me™, Mr.Mo and co. to make an online RPG system. And as you know, a number of MMORPGs have a day/night system. What I am looking for is a script to obtain the current GMT 'time' in order to sync up the day/night system and other time-based systems.

If it is GMT Midnight, then it should be midnight for anyone playing. For those in the WashingtonDC area (7pm Eastern / -5gmt) or Hong Kong ( 8am +8GMT), it would be Midnight. We plan on different time zones in the game too. ;)

Why not have our game detect the 'timezone' set in Windows??? Probably because some people don't set their clocks properly (if ever). It could ruin the experience.

But, the essence is simple. We want a system to allow multiple online users to experience the same day/night system in sync. And to do that, we need to have everyone's copy of our game set to the same 'time'.

Other Scripts I am using (in order):
Now I cannot list 'em all. I'm still working on a number of revisions and such. But I will list these:
SDK 1.5 (yep... 1.5)
NetPlay 2.0 (a good sized system)
My own Mouse and revised windowskin/graphics system for NetPlay 2.0 ;)
Mr.Mo's ABS (with some addons)
