Time mechanics in the game

[eLeRs]

Hi everyone.
I invite you to watch the YouTube channel - eLeR Creative, where, among other things, you can watch the discussion of time mechanics in the game and modifications that interfere with it.
I invite you to discuss and watch. The film is recorded in Polish but I added subtitles EN. I apologize in advance for my English, correct me if I misinterpreted something.

Greetings.

There is a mod that makes in-game 1 second = 1 real-life second.

There is a mod that makes in-game 1 second = 1 real-life second.

That's right. In the movie in the above is this mod discussed. I do not understand why you write about it.

    }

i ave trouble with this line

if (gameTimeHours > 1 || gameTimeHours < 2)
envclod = LoadCSV("dlc\dlcuphoenix\data\environment\wether\novigrad_autumn.csv ");

it don't change wether and csv not loaded but ureal_novigrad_autom.env is loaded.

do you ave idea.

Why not? It’s cleary relevant to the topic here...

I agree that relevant to the topic here. My point is that MonarchX repeats what is said in the movie.

@jack91 hej Jack,

Your code if(x < 2 || x> 1) will always return true (and will never execute the else-code and so will never change envs)

That is beause you have a logical OR: imagine any number (say 0.5) this will be smaller than 2. then take 1.5 this will be both smaller than 2 and larger than 1. and take 3: this will be always greater than 1... so your if clause always returns true.

What check do you want? Do you check for numbers that are between 1 and 2? Then you need a logical AND: if (x > 1 && x < 2)

Hope That helps!

PS: looking at your whole code I would do it like this:
if ( gameTimeHours < 2) {} //this is true when smaller than 2
else if ( gameTimeHours < 4) {} //if not but smaller than 4
else if ( gameTimeHours < 5) {} //if neither of the above but still smaller than 5
else {} //if greater than 5

thank you rfuzzo,

now if time past is over 5hrs in game.
it is possible to create loop ?

with this if time is over 5 gameTimeHours - 5 + 1 = 1.
but if gameTimeHours = 20 : gameTimeHours - 5 + 1= 6

I want to create a loop for gameTime Hours without setting the time to 0.

gameTimeHoursint = 5;

           if (gameTimeHours > gameTimeHoursint)  
           {
              gameTimeHours = (gameTimeHours - gameTimeHoursint)+1;
