Hey,

FormatTime is restarting from 1970 when I want to format a high valued timestamp and so my date get messed up, example:

PHP Code:

new String:buffer[64];
FormatTime(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "%H:%M %d.%b.%Y", 4733510400);
PrintToServer("Time: %s", buffer); 


Output:

Time: 18:31 24.Nov.1983

But the actual date would be:

00:00 01.Jan.2120

I did use http://www.unixtimestamp.com/index.php to generate this example timestamp.
Some ideas/help?

That happens because PAWN's only data type is cell, which is a 32bit integer. 4733510400 exceeds int32's max value, and therefore isn't a valid integer value in PAWN. When you subtract max unsigned int32 value (which is 4294967295) from the given timestamp, you get:

4733510400 - 4294967295 = 438543105

which is the timestamp for the date you got as output.

Damn, I kinda knew it, thanks!
I don't want to mess around with the date by splitting the number and calculating the date of each split, and later add them together again to get the correct time, this is to dirty
