One of my many favorite mods as of recently, the author is calling it quits. Says there is just inconsistency with the devkit with every update that makes updating a very harsh reality. I was wondering if the dev team will consider one such thing built into the game? It doesn’t have to be forced upon everyone, but say, something that can be turned on in the client’s games or on the servers.
I think it’d be nice to add a little mini-circle in one corner of the screen. Split into day/night, whichever side is up is the current time, and it rotates clockwise. So you can get a general idea of the time of day.
It’d be awesome if we could get a sort of sundial placeable to put at our base to look at as well.
I do like that. Like a Sun Dial possibly for crafting?
I use the Niflheimr MiniMap, the mini map is nice, but i like the time clock cycling on the top of the screen, that is incorporated into the mod. Unfortunately, the author is calling it quits, he is asking for suggestions on his current mod, but at this point i do not expect any maintenance from the author.
Yeah, take stone and the like and craft it at a station. Then place it on the ground. Positioning would have to be automatic, with no rotation. It largely depends on how the light works exactly.
I know in MH World, the sun comes up in one direction. But as time passes it drops back down in the same direction. Then the moon comes up. It doesn’t go overhead the way the real sun and moon would.
That would be nice. I just edited my last reply with a pic of the mod i am using now. Like I said, the guy is calling it quits so It is only a matter of time before the mod becomes unusable after updates occur like soo many mods have came and gone.
I’m guessing the two spheres rotated around the central point.
I was thinking more just a circular dial on the hud, that rotated itself like a wheel. Half of it looking like day, the other have shadowy and purple.
Probably less of a performance requirement that way.
i would take anything at this point if it is easily understandable
Yeah, I get where you are coming from. It’d be nice to even just have a little 12/24 hour numerical readout in one corner, to give you a better idea of time.
Seems like a good idea, but I wonder how easy it’d be to implement, considering you can adjust the speed at which time flows and even make days longer and nights shorter or vice versa.
I’d be for the idea though, and to expand on the craftable sundial idea, maybe hovering your cursor (or centre of the screen on console) over it would display the current time in the popup. I can’t think of many survival games that do actively display time, I know ARK (in the crafting menu) and 7 Days to Die (on the compass) do, but they also show how many in-game days have passed, which might be another way to expand on the idea.
best implementation so far:
