@Bio: I don't think there's a Diamond......yet

Animal Crossing....how I miss that game, at least I can buy the DS version....

[backontopic]I think it'd be better to do this via ConsoleCommand.[/backontopic]

Compared to "Ocarina of Time..?"

Well, let's just say it can help itself to a 3 course serving of my arse.

I like the idea of using the game timer and making shops only open at a certain time, but you should be able in that case to also have a time-lapse console command that'll let you fast-forward, Sims style, if you have nothing left to do in the game but wait for a certain event. Either a time-lapse multiplier or a time-destination the player can enter to be directly brought to that point in time would be good. Let ZDoom calculate all the script-timed world events between setting time to lapse and the destination in the case of the latter, and let it just work with a timing multiplier in the case of the former.

Or do it GTA style. Every second is a minute, every minute is an hour... but then you wouldn't need the real time for that.

Is that accurate? I remember it being faster than that...

It's accurate.

At least in MM you can reset time if you need to. If you can't find batteries for your gameboy on wednesday, you are out a MasterBall for a whole week.

True, but there are many other reasons why I turfed that game a long time ago.

What game had that?

DoomRater: Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal. It had a real-time clock in it that determined what events happened while you were playing. It was a bit of a silly gimmick in my opinion.

For WWE, I'm using 10 minutes as an hour. That makes a day 240 minutes. Which is, in my opinion, a good balance between realisim and irritation.

However, those were made using the source code itself, not any sort of scripting language. The newest version has Easter Eggs to find during Easter and some other holiday-related stuff, but it still doesn't use the .wad file to do this, just the engine itself.

Hey, ROTT has special loading screens and misc. graphics changes on Christmas and New Years, doesn't it?

As well as Thanksgiving, Halloween, Independance Day, Valentine's day, Easter and St. Patrick's day if I'm not mistaken.
