Set the desired setting, including the current date/time, using the R2ModMan config for the plugin.

Usage

The message for the corresponding day will be displayed in the date/time banner at the top of the screen.

Right Shift + A = Adds one day to the current date.

Right Shift + S = Subtracts one day from the current date.

Right Shift + M = Prompts for how many minutes to add (1).

Right Shift + D = Prompts for current month, day, hour and minutes (2).

(1) Minutes can be negative but must in both cases must be entered with a prefix sign and at least a 2 digit number.

Use a preceeding 0 when adjusting by less than 10 minutes (e.g. +05 or -07).

Demo Assets

The Custom Calendar Plugin comes with a regular modern Western calendar. However, the calendar can be adjusted to suit your

own world. The number of minutes per hour and number of hours per day default to 60 and 24 but can be set in the R2ModMan

settings for this plugin.

The Calendar.json file defines the months and days of the month. Each entry is the message that is to be shown for that day.

The default just shows the date but you can customize these entries to show any message on any given day. If a day has an empty

message, the banner will not show for that day.

The JSON format is as follows:

[

[

"The 1st of January",

"The 2nd of January",

"The 3rd of January",...

"The 31st of January"

],

[

"The 1st of February",

"The 2nd of February",

"The 3rd of February",...

"The 28th of February"

],...

]

Where... means mode code that has been removed to make the sample smaller.

Persistence

The date time is common to all boards to loading a new board will retain the current campaign date/time.
