[MECH/ADMIN] TimeSync v0.6 - Sync time with real time [1597]

TimeSync - Keep the game time in sync with real time

Note: This plugin isn't inactive or unsupported, it still works perfectly on current build (1.3.1-R2.0).

Version: v0.6

Keeps the internal game time in sync with real time or freezes the time through an given value.

Features

• Keeps game time in sync with real time (the local server time)
• Uses the converter functions (code2time and time2code) from lib24time
• Ability to freeze the game time to a given value (HH:MM value)
• Converts the game time to real time
• Ability to show the current time formatted in HH:MM
• Ability to automatically repeat the current time in chat for a given interval
• Panic command to unload the plugin
• Plugin can be enabled/disabled without unloading it for all worlds or just for specified worlds
• Plugin can be reloaded (to refresh configuration, permissions and world's)
• All configuration values can be set ingame or in console
• Debugging feature (shows updated time in console and chat)
• Compatible with permissions plugin (This plugin does not exist anymore!)
• Generates the config file automatically

Important

If you are updating from v0.4 to v0.5 or earlier, then you have to delete your config.yml, because the "old" format is no longer supported!

• A configurable and repeating text-message for the current time
• Adding comments when generating config.yml
• Better updateInterval.

 

I agree with Luan5006, it would be awesome if you could fix this. It makes the server admin (me) look bad when you have to tell your guests, "the moon is just gonna keep going apesh*t until the mod author fixes it, sorry"

However, I do have to give kudos to cisco211, TimeSync is definitely more reliable than RealTime.

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

This cannot be fixed on server side, your client is moving the moon, not the server

 

Ahh, okay I get it now.

 

Maybe I'm wrong, but you seem to mess with the time zones. The physical server have local time with already added time zone hours. Your plugin adds 2 extra hours, as mentioned above. For convenience, I ask you to add a time zone settings to config file, please.
For example:
/ts rt
Answer: ...is now 21:30
/ts t
Answer: ...is now 21:30
/time
Answer: 23:30
