Time Is Running Out

TIME IS RUNNING OUT

In game, Viktor tells you you only have weeks to live, but the game never really follows up on that.  I was curious when the events in-game take place, and how long my playthroughs were actually lasting, so I made this mod for myself to track a day count.  It turns out that Cyberpunk's internal day count is... not consistent with the days experienced by V.  So this mod accounts for that.  It uses references to in-game months in a couple of shards to figure out when the Heist takes place, and then places the Rescue a few days before that, and the Prologue(s) six months prior to the Rescue.  With those offsets in place, as well as a few others for odd time jumps and braindance behavior, it manages to calculate a close-to-lore-accurate calendar date for your current playthrough.  Using a standard method, it then figures out the day of the week for that date.  So you can know that, in fact, you slaughtered those Tyger Claws on Thursday May 21st, 2077.

After the Heist, the mod starts to show the number of days that have passed since the Heist itself.  For now, this is purely informational.  Future iterations will use this to calculate optional debuffs to give some in-world immersion to the idea that, for V, time really is running out.

Features a NativeSettingsUI menu which supports 12 and 24 hour clocks; ISO, American, and European (day-first) date formats; and allows you to toggle both the day of the week and heist counter on or off.

To Install: extract in your base Cyberpunk 2077 game folder, or install with your preferred mod manager.

Currently in English only. 

Compatibility with Scream81's minimap mods is in progress.  Currently works with their MinimapWidgets, CirclemapWidgets, and ClockWidget.

Compatible with The Downward Spiral.  I'll eventually add debuffs to this mod (as optional features), but you can get the same impact now by using these two mods side by side.

Works with existing saves

Version 1. 1 of this mod will work for existing saves that have not yet used this mod.

If you want to use it with a save that is currently running the 1. 0b version of this mod but which did not start the game with the 1. 0b version of this mod, then there's a bit of work to get the relic day count to reset. Open your save game and then open the CET console (with whatever hotkey you use to open CET).  In the console, type:

TIRO = GetMod("TimeIsRunningOut")

print(tostring(TIRO.heistCompleted))  --should be true

TIRO.heistCompleted = false

print(tostring(TRO.heistCompleted)) --should now be false

NOTE: if you're pre-heist or were pre-heist when you installed 1. 0b, this doesn't matter and it should w
