[Eventing]Extremely Simple Day/Night, For those who dont want it to be complicated Options

[Nuque]

Okay, are you someone who just wants a watch and for their maps to get darker through the day? Then this is for you.

Steps 1 + 2 are parallel process common events with a switch activation
For steps 1 + 2 create an autorun map event that turns on a switch and then erases itself
For step 3 place the script anywhere, I put it below the default scripts and before main. Just copy and paste

[Show/Hide] Core System

Step 1: Minutes and Hours

CODE

Put in the following commands in a common event: (Dont forget a switch to activate it!!)

@>Control Variables:[0002:Hours] = 10 (When you want day to start. This is also when the screen will become daytime)
@>Loop
@>Wait 1 frame(s)
@>Control Variables: [0003: Seconds] += 1
@>Conditional Branch: [0003: Seconds] = 25
@>Control Variables: [0001: Minutes] += 1
@>Control Variables: [0003: Seconds] = 0
@>Conditional Branch: Variable [0001: Minutes] == 60
@>Control Variable: [0001: Minutes] == 0
@>Control Variable: [0002: Hours] += 1
@>
: Branch End
@>Conditional Branch: Variable [0002: Hours] ==13
@>Condition Branch: [0004: AM/PM] = 1
@>Control Variables: [0002: Hours] = 1
@>Control Variables: [0004: AM/PM] = 2
@>Control Switches: [0001: PM] = OFF
Else
@>Control Variables: [0002: Hours] = 1
@>Control Variables: [0004: AM/PM] = 1
@>Control Switches: [0001: PM] = ON
: Branch End
@>
: Repeat Above
@>

Step 2: Day and Night

CODE

Put in the following in a common event: (Dont forget a switch to activate it!!)

@>Loop
@>Condition Branch: Switch [0001: PM] = ON
@>Conditional Branch Variable [0002: Hours] = 10 < make this number when night starts! (here its 10 pm)
@>Change Screen Color Tone: (-187, -119, -34, 68)
@>Control Switches: [0002: Night] = ON
@>
: Branch End
@>
: Branch End
@>Condition Branch: Switch [0001: PM] = OFF
@>Conditional Branch Variable [0002: Hours] = 6 < make this number when morning starts! (here its 6 am)
@>Change Screen Color Tone: ( 0, 34, 0, 0)
@>Control Switches: [0002: Night] = OFF
@>
: Branch End
@>
: Branch End
@>Condition Branch: Switch [0001: PM] = ON
@>Conditional Branch Variable [0002: Hours] = 10 < make this number when day starts! (here its 10 am)
@>Change Screen Color Tone: ( 0, 0, 0, 0)
@>
: Branch End
@>
: Branch End
@> Wait: 1 frame(s)
@>
: Repeat Above
@>

Cool, aint it?

Test it out, its awesome!!!!
Heres a screenie to look at:



Note that the hud is optional and does not have to be used, instead you can use a watch on the menu screen, an item, or a map event.
This is covered in the next spoiler tag.

[Show/Hide] Watch/Hud

Option A: Watch On Menu Screen

Edit def refresh in Window_PlayTime to look like this:

CODE

def refresh
self.contents.clear
self.contents.font.color = system_color
self.contents.draw_text(4, 0, 120, 32, "Time")
@total_sec = Graphics.frame_count / Graphics.frame_rate
hour = $game_variables[2]
min = $game_variables[1]
text = sprintf("%02d:%02d", hour, min)
self.contents.font.color = normal_color
self.contents.draw_text(4, 32, 120, 32, text, 2)
end

If it shows 0s, change these lines:
hour = $game_variables[2] Change 2 to your hour variable
min = $game_variables[1] Change 1 to your minute variable


Option B: Hud

CODE

class Window_YourHUD < Window_Base
def initialize
super(0, 416, 640, 64)
self.contents = Bitmap.new(640 - 32, 64 - 32)
refresh
end
def refresh
self.contents.clear
reset_variables
return if !@actor
draw_actor_hp(@actor, 0, 0)
draw_actor_sp(@actor, 160, 0)
self.contents.font.color = system_color
self.contents.draw_text(320, 0, 60, 32, "Time")
@total_sec = Graphics.frame_count / Graphics.frame_rate
hour = $game_variables[2]
min = $game_variables[1]
text = sprintf("%02d:%02d", hour, min)
self.contents.font.color = normal_color
self.contents.draw_text(400, 0, 60, 32, text, 2)
end
def reset_variables
@actor = $game_party.actors[0]
@old_hp = @actor ? @actor.hp : 0
@old_maxhp = @actor ? @actor.maxhp : 0
@old_sp = @actor ? @actor.sp : 0
@old_maxsp = @actor ? @actor.maxsp : 0
end
def update
super
refresh if (@actor = $game_party.actors[0] or
@old_hp = @actor ? @actor.hp : 0 or
@old_maxhp = @actor ? @actor.maxhp : 0 or
@old_sp = @actor ? @actor.sp : 0 or
@old_maxsp = @actor ? @actor.maxsp : 0)
end
end
class Scene_Map
alias yourhud_main main
alias yourhud_update update
def main
@yourhud = Window_YourHUD.new
yourhud_main
@yourhud.dispose
end
def update
@yourhud.update
yourhud_update
end
end

If there is an error, change the lines
hour = $game_variables[2]
min = $game_variables[1]
to
hour = $game_variables[y] y = your hour variable
min = $game_variables[x] x = your min. variable

[Show/Hide] Addons

Addon 1 : Bed System (Map Event)

CODE

@>Change Screen Color Tone: ( 0, 34, 0, 0)
@>Wait: 20 frame(s)
@>Play ME: '014-Inn01", 100, 100
@>Control Variables: [0002: Hours] = 7 <<This is your time when waking up
@>Control Variables: [0001: Minutes] = 30 << This is your minutes, together its 7:30
@>Control Variables: [0003: Seconds] = 0
@>Control Variables: [0004: AM/PM] = 2
@>Wait: 60 frame(s)
@>Change Screen Color Tone: (0, 0, 0, 0)
@>

Coming Soon:

1. Weather System - just needs to be added (extremely buggy, ill post it, but you have to help me out!)
2. Houses dont get dark until bedtime (9:30?) - to be done
3. Bed System - DONE!
4. Lightning in my weather system (also easily done)

Sorry if im lazy, ill get these done eventually.

!!!!NEW!!!!
Demo Available!!!

No problems shantanu, but did you actually physically try it?
(Don't you hate it when the only thing someone congratulates you on is the bit you didn't do? Sorry, it just irritates me aswell...)

EDIT: Have it running, wait until like 11 or something, then teleport to another map, and you'll see what I mean (Hopefully)!
