About Mod:
This mod tracks your playtime on any given world (hours and minutes). I know it the game tracks for singleplayer but I wanted a mod that tracks time played on multiplayer worlds since there is no built in system for that.
     - Displays time on screen via HUD in upper right next to mini-map


Hotkey:
     - default key - num8 (8 key on the numberpad)
          - can be changed in the controls menu

 

Commands:
.playtime - type this command in chat and it will display your time!


.playtime "<hr> <min>" This command allows you to set your time (for if you have been keeping track before you added this mod like I have)
     - example: ".playtime set 1 20" This sets your playtime to 1hr 20mins
     - WARNING: If you do "/playtime <playername>" and don't put in the hours or minutes it will act like you put in 0 0 and reset your playtime.

 

Migration Instructions (4.0.0 version):

Migration Method 1 (manual)

  • Before updating to 1.21
      • Record all your world times somewhere (notepad, pen paper, where ever)
  • Update to 1.21 and update mod to 4.0.0
    • Go in each world and run the command .playtime <Username> <hrs> <mins>

 

Migration Method 2 (bulk/less manual)

  • Update to 1.21
  • Update Mod to 4.0.0
      • Load into your world
      • Your time will show 0hr 0min, this is fine
    • Go into your Vintage Story installation path
      • Copy the folder named "playtime"
    • Go to your "VintagestoryData" folder
      • Probably located in your Appdata Folder
        • Open File Explorer and type %Appdata% in the path bar
      • Look for the folder named "NDL-TimeTracker"
        • Past your "playtime" folder in there
        • Replace the one in there if there is one
  • Your time should now be restored
    • Reach out if this fails

 

Planned Workings:
- none at the moment
