Introduction

My name is DrPine. I am uploading some mods that are only over so that everyone can use them Mod Manager with ease. Below is the description.

Description

Adds a simple configurable clock widget to the screen showing the in-game time of day or a fuzzy representation like "Late Afternoon" and optionally the current day.

This mod adds a simple but highly configurable time and day display to the game.

Features

You can set:

  • the clock's position on the screen either in pixels or percent (it defaults to top-middle).
  • the font name to use (see below)
  • the font size of the clock text
  • the color and transparency of the clock text
  • a hotkey to toggle the clock display and an optional modifier key (e.g. "left shift")
  • the time format (either something like HH:mm:ss or set to fuzzy to use specified time strings)
  • the actual displayed string to surround the the time with (including simple html tags)

You can also now drag the clock around the screen with the cursor, yay!

You can also customize the fuzzy strings used to divide the day up into custom intervals by editing ClockFuzzyStrings in the config file.

Clock Format

Clock format follows this syntax:

Clock String

The clock supports rich text and uses string.Format() to display the clock string, which you can set in the config file.The string can include up to three variables:

{0} is replaced by the actual time string,

{1} is replaced by the fuzzy string

{2} is replaced by the current day

So, you could put something like:

{0} {1} {2}

to show all three.

Fonts

By default, the mod now uses the game's UI font, AveriaSerifLibre-Bold. If you want to use a different font, here's a list of fonts currently available in the game:

Arial

AveriaSerifLibre-Light

AveriaSerifLibre-Regular

AveriaSerifLibre-Bold

AveriaSerifLibre-Italic

AveriaSerifLibre-BoldItalic

AveriaSansLibre-Light

AveriaSansLibre-Regular

AveriaSansLibre-LightItalic

AveriaSansLibre-BoldItalic

OpenSans-Light

OpenSans-LightItalic

OpenSans-BoldItalic

OpenSans-SemiBold

OpenSans-ExtraBold

Norse

Norsebold

prstart

prstartk

rune

Just change ClockFontName to one of these.

If you want to use a font installed on your OS (this is untested), set ClockUseOSFont to true and provide the name of your font file, e.g. Arial.ttf. Let me know if it doesn't work. To dump a list of OS fonts to the debug log, type clockmod osfonts into the console (F5).

Config

A config file BepInEx/config/aedenthorn.ClockMod.cfg is created after running the game once with this mod).

You can adjust the config values by editing this file using a text editor or in-game using the Config Manager.

To reload the config from the config file, type clockmod reset into the game's console (F5).

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.
