Calender Script

[Zeak6464]

I been looking for a Calender to add into my pokemon game but so far no luck at all....
I was wondering if anyone has one or knows how to make one ?

 

[Nickalooose]

There is a Harvest Moon tool kit in the scripts section (HMTK) I'm pretty sure that has a calendar, you could possibly use that, but give credit of course.

Still need help making it now into a Calender...

PokemonTime uses the Time.now methods, which aren't applicable to your need (as far as I am aware). Time.now gets the current values for either the day, month, year or just basic time. Well actually, it can get your region and daylight savings too. It doesn't, however, have any sort of predicting functions. That is, it doesn't display how many days there are in this month, and which weekday falls onto which calendar day. The reason for this is that it reads the current information provided by windows, but only the current information.

All I'm saying is, don't waste your time looking through PokemonTime. You will not find your answer there. I don't know where to point you though, Google search came up empty. I haven't made a calendar myself yet, so I can't share any knowledge either, as I don't have it.

If you know how to call and use Win32API you can always look through Microsoft's API documentation (more interestingly this), and call functions directly from the Kernel32.dll. This is very advanced stuff though.

Thanks for the input tho Luka

If you're Ruby-savvy enough, you can implement the Rails Time class in RGSS. All you really need to do is extend the basic Ruby Time class with the methods Rails provides (while making sure to fill in constants with your own data).

https://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/Time.html is the documentation for it.

If you really want to get into it, you could port over Rail's time calculation functions which allows you to do interesting stuff like this:

date = Time.now
 => 16/10/2014

date.tomorrow
 => 17/10/14

date + 7.days
 = > 23/10.14

date - 18.years
 = > 23/10/96

which are very useful for calendar-like functions.

The actual porting is left as an exercise to the reader.

to bad i dont know Rail that much along with Ruby still a noob here

This would require a bit of work, RGSS's time class is comparatively limited to the current version of Ruby's even without rails. Might be a fun challenge when I get a bit of spare time.
