Help with Dynamic Time System Gliche Options

[TheCableGuy]

Anyone Familiar with eharper256's Dynamic Time System?

Ran into a Bug with it's Time Display. Normally, you can set it to display the Time/Date up in the Corner of the screen. That works fine up until 9 pm (21:00), then the display vanishes and will not come back. I can't figure out what's causing it. The Demo Provided with the Script actually has the same Bug, so I believe it is a Design Flaw of the Scripter but he does not appear to be working on it anymore and I don't believe he'll get around to fixing it any time soon.

It's a Complicated System with multiple Scripts and Common Events but it's the only one I've gotten working.

This is the Setup Script

#Change the variables here to choose your default settings.
#-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
#Version 5 fixes a pretty big frackin' error that occured
#with saves. (Errors with "[ ]" not being defined,
#which occured because a loaded save did not have
#any stored global variables loaded with it...)
#Of course, it does this by loading all of its global defintions
#through this new upgraded pseudo-script module.
#-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
#Version 5.1 includes a modified watch module
#originally created by robot 79796.

#SWITCH SETTINGS
#You define a number of global YES/NO questions for the system here.
#To change something, alter the true/false to its opposite.
#Each setting is explained in the comments below it.
class Game_Switches

    @data = []

    @data[378] = false # Seasonal Variation
    #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    #Do you want tilesets to change dependant on
    #the season? If not, set this to FALSE.
    #You also don't need to bother setting up
    #the other season stuff if its FALSE.
    #If it is FALSE, then only the weather generator
    #even bothers looking at seasons.
    #Of course, your starting season depends on
    #the date you start.
    #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    @data[391] = false # Weather Background Sound Muffler
    #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    #Do you want to be able to still hear the effects
    #of the Weather when you're inside with
    #the 'Is Inside?' switch on?
    #By default, this is false (as in, the muffler is disengaged)
    #If you DON'T want to hear BGS changes, make this TRUE.
    #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    @data[394] = false # Use Weather Related fogs?
    #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    #By making this true, you're allowing the weather generator to
    #change the currently active fog to suit the weather conditions.
    #In areas where you want to use a custom fog, make sure to
    #set this switch off manually (394).
    #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    @data[389] = false # Disable the FAST-TONE feature?
    #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    #In early versions of the DTS, many people
    #didn't like the fact that the tone changed slowly
    #when you stepped out of a building at night.
    #Personally; I thought it was like ones eyes adjusting
    #to the new conditions, and liked it, but whatever...
    #In any case, Fast-Tone is now on by default.
    #Things will fade to darkness much quicker now,
    #and the extra Fast-Tone event automatically
    #detects when it is needed.
    #**If you prefer the old effect, make this TRUE**
    #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    @data[381] = true # Start the game with the watch on?
    #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    #Created by robot 79796, and slightly modified by me, the watch creates a
    #small window in the top left hand corner of the screen that dynamically
    #updates the current time and date. You can switch it on and off at any time
    #by flipping this switch. Having it TRUE means it'll be on straight away,
    #which may not be good if you have any kind of intro to your game.

The Bulk of the system is contained in Multiple Common Events but I can't copy and paste those.
But this is the forum it's posted in eharper256's Dynamic Time System

[Night_Runner]

The download links there weren't working, so I downloaded it from here link.
I'm pretty sure it's the same version

Anyway, the problem's just a small mistake in a common event

[Show/Hide] Before

That section highlighted turns off all switches in the range, and switch 381 activates the HUD, so I've simple changed it:

[Show/Hide] After

So it no longer includes switch 381

Woot! Thanks NR. That's perfect.

If I couldn't get it working, I would have had to try getting a different System working and I've already written this one too far into the existing Project so this is great.
