| I had a quick question about time_info.hour:
Basically what Im trying to do, is stop the compression of time in the normal smaug code. Ive figured out where the time_info data is processed in db.c
the code is as follows:
/*
* Set time and weather.
*/
{
long lhour, lday, lmonth;
log_string("Setting time and weather");
lhour = (current_time - 650336715)
/ (PULSE_TICK / PULSE_PER_SECOND);
time_info.hour = lhour % 24;
lday = lhour / 24;
time_info.day = lday % 35;
lmonth = lday / 35;
time_info.month = lmonth % 12;
time_info.year = lmonth / 12;
Basically I want to make time flow with the current_time. I know the problems is either with the 1hour or time_info.hour variables.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks,

| Probably the simplest thing is to adjust lhour before the calculations. I'm not sure what the compression is, but if it is 5 times, then dividing lhour by 5 should slow it down.
eg.
lhour /= 5;
Alternatively, get the current time and just stuff the hour, day and month into the appropriate variables (time_info.hour and so on). |

| Thanks again Nick,
Actually.... Id rather go with the current_time, How would I get the hours, day, and month from current_time(to make them the time_info equivalants)?
Thanks again,

| I haven't tested it, but something like this:
struct tm *now_time;
now_time = localtime(¤t_time);
time_info.min = now_time->tm_min;
time_info.hour = now_time->tm_hour;
// and so on
