Night Time

[Tsar Hoikas]

Gira uses plLayerSDLAnimation to display its Night/Day cycle based on Gira's AGETIMEOFDAY SDL variable.

Ok, here is my proof of concept for a Minkata type day/night toggle triggered by a clickable. The transition happens instantly for now. I may add the fancy effects such as fade out/in and fake link later.

Note: Make sure any link-in points are in a page that loads at link-in (mine is called Shared) otherwise you will end up in limbo.

The new version of my day-night swap demo includes link effects. It is available in the programmers section: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1129

You will also find instructions there.

Fascinating! This thread answers two of my biggest questions:
1. Can you have a variable that controls the display of certain objects?
(Yes!)
2. Can you make an on/off day night cycle for an Age?
(Yes!)
This is great!
