📋 About This Mod

This mod is meant to compliment the popular Clock mod, showing the real time instead.

Rather than expand the existing clock mod to show both times, making a new mod allows you to position the clocks on different parts of the screen, and have completely different formats, etc. for each. The code is almost identical to the latest Clock mod.

Config

You can set:

  • [] the clock's position on the screen either in pixels or percent (it defaults to top-middle).

    []the font name to use (see below)

    []the font size of the clock text

    []the color and transparency of the clock text

    []a hotkey to toggle the clock display and an optional modifier key (e.g. "left shift")

    []the time format (either something like HH:mm:ss or set to fuzzy to use specified time strings)

  • the actual displayed string to surround the the time with (including simple html tags)

    You can also now drag the clock around the screen with the cursor, yay!

    You can also customize the fuzzy strings, which are used to divide the day up into custom intervals.

    Clock format follows this syntax:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/base-types/custom-date-and-time-format-strings

    To change the mod's settings, edit the file BepInEx/config/aedenthorn. RealClockMod.cfg (created after running the game once with this mod) using a text editor.

    You can adjust the config values in-game using the Config Manager.

    To reload the config from the config file while in the game, open the console (F5) and type realclockmod reset then hit Enter.

    Fonts

    By default, the mod now uses the game's UI font, AveriaSerifLibre-Bold. If you want to use a different font, here's a list of fonts currently available in the game:

    AveriaSerifLibre-Light

    AveriaSerifLibre-Regular

    AveriaSerifLibre-Bold

    AveriaSerifLibre-Italic

    AveriaSerifLibre-BoldItalic

    AveriaSansLibre-Light

    AveriaSansLibre-Regular

    AveriaSansLibre-Bold

    AveriaSansLibre-Italic

    AveriaSansLibre-LightItalic

    AveriaSansLibre-BoldItalic

    OpenSans-Light

    OpenSans-Regular

    OpenSans-LightItalic

    OpenSans-Italic

    OpenSans-BoldItalic

    OpenSans-SemiBold

    OpenSans-Bold

    OpenSans-ExtraBold

    OpenSans-SemiBoldItalic

    OpenSans-ExtraBoldItalic

    Just change ClockFontName to one of these.

    If you want to use a font installed on your OS (this is untested), set ClockUseOSFont to true and provide the name of your font file, e.g. Arial.ttf. Let me know if it doesn't work. To
