In any case, I'd just make a single known-working function for the time, and track down everywhere else in the code that tries to deal with time and make it all use that same function. https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/timedate-command-4722/&p=22823#p22823 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 17:25:35 CDT SmaugFUSS nobody@example.com (Quixadhal) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/timedate-command-4722/&p=22822#p22822 Sure, I understand that local time is going to be out of sync with system by an hour during Daylight Savings. It's just that local time appears to be 13 hrs behind. I've just rebooted and local time is still 13 hrs behind system time. [quote="Quixadhal"] IE: either make everything use the system's time, as it should, or you're going to manually adjust twice a year as the offset changes. [/quote] No problem. I just find 13 hours difference odd. Of course, Daylight Savings is odd.... : https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/timedate-command-4722/&p=22822#p22822 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 14:38:09 CDT SmaugFUSS nobody@example.com (Krell) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/timedate-command-4722/&p=22821#p22821 The "system" time is correct, using Mountain Daylight Time. The "local" time is using a hard coded fixed offset, which will be wrong for half the year because of Daylight Savings Time adjustments. IE: either make everything use the system's time, as it should, or you're going to manually adjust twice a year as the offset changes. https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/timedate-command-4722/&p=22821#p22821 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 12:32:44 CDT SmaugFUSS nobody@example.com (Quixadhal) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/timedate-command-4722/&p=22820#p22820 [pre] <24hp 145m 110mv> <#1200> date It is 8 o'clock am, Day of the Great Gods, 13th day in the Month of the Great Evil.
