📋 About This Mod
Adds a UI and hotkeys that call customized wait/timeskip functions that allow to speed up time until dawn or night, and even choose how many hours to wait while enjoying the view! Now both in one mod with a little extra customization.
Timeskip for how many hours you want with a UI made by WinterElfeas
Press F4 on your keyboard or Left shoulder button (tool wheel) + D-pad down with your gamepad to open a UI where you can choose how many hours you want to wait.
Timeskip to night or dawn (similar to the game's wait function)
Press ALT+E to trigger a timeskip to night if it's day or to dawn if it's night while in-game and enjoy the view!
Timeskip for how many hours you want
Press the PLUS button on your keyboard to add hours to wait, the MINUS button to subtract hours to wait and the BACKSPACE button to initiate the timeskip.
Info
Setting EnableAnimation to true triggers a Drinking Tea animation. Credits to DeniMM and their mod Animation Console as their code helped immensely. This is using part of their code that is slightly changed to make it work with my mod. Unfortunately calling animations like this is buggy and will most likely crash your game if you fast travel after initiating a timeskip. Thought it looked cool. Will get back to this if a new way to call animations is found.
Setting TimeDilation to true activates time dilation to whatever value you've set it in TimeDilationValues. Value used in the picture below is 2. 0, so every one and everthing is moving faster.

Settings
To customize the mod open the mod's main.lua file with Notepad where you can find:
By default initiating a timeskip disables input (can't move/jump/etc) and speeds time up by 2 until the end of the timeskip. By default you can't activate a timeskip while in combat or if you are on a broom or mount and the drinking tea animation is off.
If you set DisableOnBroom to false, input won't be disabled while on a broom or mount because it was bugging the character out. Time won't be sped up to x2 while on a broom or mount either because you'd be zooming everywhere lol.
The player is invulnerable while waiting.
The UI made by WinterElfeas is enabled by default.
