--------------------------
Clock Maker v1.1 By Necro
--------------------------

Allows you to create various clocks on the map that you can save and will load again on map load.

Say '/cm' to bring up the main menu.


Clock Types
------------
- Server time (Displays the servers time +/- the time offset CVAR value)
- Map timeleft (Displays the amount of time remaining on the map)


CVARs
------
cm_hourtype 1 (0: 12 hour clocks, 1: 24 hour clocks)
cm_hourannounce 1 (hear the hour spoken on the hour)
cm_timeoffset 0 (offset the time to a different timezone +/- hours)


Main Menu
----------
1. Create server time clock (Aim at a wall to create a clock displaying the server time)
2. Create map timeleft clock (Aim at a wall to create a clock displaying the timeleft on the map)

4. Delete clock (Aim at a clock to delete it)

5. Make larger (Aim at a clock to scale it larger)
6. Make smaller (Aim at a clock to scale it smaller)

7. Save clocks (Saves the clocks to a file, they load on map load)
8. Load clocks (Re-load the clock from file)

0. Close (Closes the menu)


v1.1 Changelist
----------------
- Added a 'map timeleft' clock type
- Added 'cm_hourannounce' and 'cm_timeoffset' CVARs
- Added an hour alert option
- Added option to offset the current time for different timezones

Actually is a *good* idea! I like the style of clock...Gj

It's very nice I also like the idea behind this.
Keep up the good work.

Yea I tried looking for a way to do it without making my own sprites but couldn't!

But if anyone knows a way then let me know and I'd happily change it!

But on the other hand the sprites only add up to 9kb!

I'm worried more about the number of precached stuff that would prevent certain maps from working and the sheer number of downloads for players.

I'd normally do with 1 or 2 files for advertising (like that Tga plugin, which I forgot the name of, or Sprite Importer) and some player models for admins, and besides that just stuff of mods like eg. WC3FT.

Should make it the map time.. like how much time is left till the map changes..

[X-Script]

Suggestion: Everytime the clock hits a "main-minute" such as 17:00 it should make a short sound .

I've just made it so the lovely womans voice comes on and says the hour on the hour! You know... "5 pm". Not "The time is now 5 pm", I kept it short!

I did have it so it displayed the timeleft on the map. It's very easy to change/add that but I would want both so need some suggestions on how to distinguish between the different clock types, because the same looking LCD clock for both would be a bit silly!

Was thinking just changing the sprite so above the clock it says, "Timeleft" or "Time" or something!?!?! :S Not sure... advice?

Also I want to do an analog clock with hands if there any interest?
