Window_PlayTime + Day & Night Settings

[kyonides]

Actually this is a very simple script that allows you to set the current in-game time at any moment, i.e.

You want to start the game at 10 a.m. on Monday, in a script call enter this line

$game_system.set_time(0, 0, 10, 1)

and you're done.

Note:
Don't forget to deactivate the event after it set the current in-game time...


I forgot to mention that this script makes the time run a little bit faster... Let's say an in-game minute lasts as much as a second in real life...
