Need Help time scalar not working

[kaizerkat]

playing b14 beta 3 full and like always i play with real time. In the internalsettings, i put under time scalars how many seconds reflect the time clock at sea from 5 to 1. WHEN AT SEA I NOTICE THE CLOCK counting down the minutes like seconds, ie it takes one minute to complete one hour. No matter what i do, so far, i can not fix this. I wuld like the clock to run like a real clock does. Is this a bug?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

What exactly did you change? Did you try setting it back to what it was?

 

[kaizerkat]

i went into internalsettings.h file and went to time scalars and the line that states time scalar at sea, i changed the # 5 to 1, so that i would have a true hour at sea.

That value should make zero difference, because it is overridden by this function in PROGRAM\NK.c:

void InitOpenSeaMod()
{
   ref PChar = GetMainCharacter();
   if(iRealismMode>1 || OPEN_SEA_MOD)
   {
     DIRECTENCOUNTERCHANCE =                 25;     // chance in percent that an encounter fleet appears every hour
     DIRECTENCOUNTERDISTANCE =               2250;   // distance from player at which random ships appear
     ISLANDSWITCHDISTANCE =                 30000.0;// for islandcell mode only: distance from island at which transfer to neighbour island starts
     ENCOUNTERBREAK =                   3.0;   // LDH - Changed to float, number is hours per encounter, directsail is called every 5 minutes occasionally
     // so you can let the clock run faster (by increasing TIMESCALAR_SEA below), meaning longer voyagetimes, without getting too many encounters.

Darn it! That file is really sensitive!

 

[Pieter Boelen]

There isn't supposed to be too much need to edit it, really. Import settings are in the in-game Game Preferences menu.
And the only other stuff that is meant to be edited is at the top and bottom of that file. The other stuff are just constants that the game was balanced with.

Making the game time like real time? - do I understand you correctly?

 

[Levis]

I still think we should take those CCCSail constands and move them to internal settings tough

 

[Pieter Boelen]

You mean the InitOpenSeaMod function? They used to be in InternalSettings.h only, but being #defines, they couldn't be changed through code in the game.
