Introduction
And who said I only create scripts for battle systems, yeah that's right This is a map system. This allows your game to have time. Also includes a simple Day Night System. And Also you can setup events that happen at a certain time (ex. at 0 to 6 minutes past each hour, or on Tuesday March 20, 2007 at 3:00 PM to 4:00 the same day and year), This script wasn't meant to be an exact copy of our calendar (you can only set up a month to be 30 days and not vary by month), but well enjoy.
Features
Simple
Can Set Time to a certain hour, minute, month, day, year
Can Speed up or slow down time
Can Disable Tinting
Tinting is disabled on inside maps
Can Setup Initial time
Can redefine the time system
A whole lot of other stuff I am probably to sleepy to recall
Can Stop Time for certain maps or whenever
Can Speed up time on certain maps or whenever
Can Pause Time flow when events are running
Screenshots
Look at one of the default maps, make it 11PM think of that as night, there you have your screenshot.
These control the lengths of time
2 seconds in a minute
60 minutes in a hour
24 hours in a day
30 days in a month
12 months in a year
The only one you can modify in game is how many seconds in a minute which you can change by using this call script
Code:
$game_time.minute_length =
where length is the number of seconds in a minute
Code:
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Starting Time
# - Year, Month, Day, Hour, Minute
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time = 1207, 4, 13, 23, 0
This is just the starting time and this reads 11:00 PM May 4, 1207
Code:
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Days of the Week
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Days = %W( Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday )
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Months of the Year
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Months = %W( Janurary Feburary March April May June July August September
October November December )
Days and Months of the year just type the names without '' or "" like I have done here if you need a space in the name replace the space in the name with \s
Code:
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Time Format
# 0 - HHMM 1 - HH:MM 2 - HH:MM AM / PM (Splits Day Rate in Half)
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time_Format = 2
Ok These effect the Time of Day it is Morning is considered to be from 5am to 12 pm Afternoon is from 12 pm to 6 pm Evening is from 6pm to 10 pm and Night is from 10 pm to 5am. Not really important options but you you'll see what they are for if you read below
Code:
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Time Effect
# 0 - Wait (In Map Only) 1 - Wait2 (In Map in Battle) 2 - Active
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time_Effect = 2
Time_Effect is how the time updates 0 in map only 1 for map and in battle 2 for all scenes (provided if Scene_Base is used to create the scene)
Code:
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Tone Enabled (At Start of Game)
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tone_Enabled = true
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Time Speed (At Start of Game)
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Speed = 1
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Time Stopped (At Start of Game)
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stopped = false
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Time Stopped During Events
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stopped_Events = true
These are options for at the start of the game these are self-explanatory
Code:
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Time Stopped Maps
# - syntax map_id => stopped flag true: stopped time false: otherwise
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stopped_Maps = {}
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Time Stopped Maps Default
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stopped_Maps.default = false
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Increase Speed up Time Maps
# - syntax map_id => speed
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Speed_Maps = {}
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Increase Speed up Time Maps Default
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Speed_Maps.default = 0
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Tone Disabled Maps
# - syntax map_id => disabled flag true: disabled false: enabled
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tone_Disabled = {2 => true}
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Tone Disabled Maps Default
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tone_Disabled.default = false
These are options for maps the in version 1.0 was deprecated for the Tone_Disabled Hash setup. These are also self-explanatory because of the comments telling how to set it up
Setuping up an Event to Happen Depending on Time
On the page you want the event to have an extra time condition
Using an Event Comment Write a Comment that says Time_Setup
This activates the script
To Set the minutes the event is supposed to happen two comments that says
Code:
start_minute
end_minute
where is the minute as a number for example
Code:
start_minute 0
end_minute 6
If you leave one of these off then it will not be used for example
Code:
end_minute 6
will do the exact same thing as the above
Except it means from any time where the minute is less than x:06
repeat for hours, days, months, and years their conditions are
The First, on_day, makes an event happen on a certain day and on_month makes an event happen on a certain month.
Code:
morning, afternoon, evening, night
These are new as of V2.0 these check if the time is morning, afternoon, evening or night respectively (or not if you set them to false)
That is all

Terms and Conditions
Hey, I posted this publicly. You can use it. What do you expect? But if you do use it, I do expect you to spell my name correctly in your game. And yes you can use it in commercial games too.
