Concept, Textures, Code & Overhaul: Thuztor

oldCode: TurboTuTone

 

Translations:

English & German: Thuztor

Russian: Nebula

 

Surprise! I'm back and not dead yet! Not yet!

I hope I can revive even more in the future.

Update to Version 0.6 for Build 41 and probably lower:

- complete overhaul ( see Features )

Features of this version:

- You don't have found a watch, yet?
! Orient yourself at the level of the sun or the position of the stars!

- You have a watch, but you can't see the clock?
! Hold Right CTRL,  if you move or whatever with the keyboard!
! Otherwise just press Right CTRL!

- You can't see the sun or the stars, if you are inside a building or it rains?
! That's correct. It has to be like this!

- You want a digital watch, but without the luxery temperature display?
! You can find black cheap digital watches on corpses and at some other places!

- Language Support: english, german, russian (Nebula)

Planned for the next version:

- texture overlay, if you are sitting in cars
- The correct beginning and end of sunrise and sunset depending on the season.

- the strength of rain, clouds, fog, snow and wind is visible in the horizon clock

- extra ui for the wind direction

Future plans:
- an analog watch
- button cell battery for watches (keep a very long time, but eventually the clock will stop working)
- windup watches that needs no battery, but needs to be wind up again and again.
(Bad luck if one forgets it sometimes. Then you have to just guess what time it is)

Nice!

 

Had me confused for a sec, thought you had made a mod for "Biological clock", stuff like ageing

[Viceroy 772]

I love it, reminds me of battle for wesnoth. Will definitely use this! If it added a cloud overlay for raining/probability it'd be an excellent addition as well.

[Thuztor 313]

I talked about rain with turbotutone and my thought are: There will be situations, where you are inside a building/cellar or something else and can't see or hear the rain. So it would be a bit of cheating.

Maybe this was a reason, why the original "weather-meter" was removed.

[Thebig44 52]

Oh just like the good ol' clock back in pre-alpha ;I

[Viceroy 772]

Ah my thought was more a probability meter, currently there is no solid means of knowing if it is overcast or about to rain or anything, even when outside. Granted in the future with the new lighting methods the daytime saturation and colour balance will shift simulating redness at dawn and dusk. Greying out with high cloud-cover.

 

Granted your point is valid and certainly very sound from a design perspective. My perspective is naturally only that of a user. Perhaps instead of out-right weather detection it could be more like weather-sense, requiring being outdoor.

 

Naturally I am merely making suggestions. Still going to use it

[Thuztor 313]

Update to version 0.2. See OP for the download.

 

New:

- rotating stars

- a fade between day, dawn/dusk and night textures

[NuclearSharkhead 38]

Woooow, so cool ^w^

 

Great job!!! How did you create the textures for it?

[Thuztor 313]

Thank you!

 

What do you mean exactly?

Which program? Paint.Net (free) or Adobe Fireworks [nearly the same programs]

Yes tell me about Fireworks.

Another way to approach it is to use a barometer. Normally it won't realy tell that it rains, but it does indicate if a high or low pressure system is near. Don't know for sure, but i thought that low pressure does give a higher chance of rain and such.

In game it is impossible do mimic that exactly, but low pressure = rain with a barometer is at least more realisitc .

I'm a bit late for this, but couldn't you make the clock so that it shows the weather only when you're outside and have a separate image when indoors. This way it would allow the weather and would require you to go outside to check the time and weather... Just a thought.

Anyways I've been really waiting for something like this. Great work!

[DoctahWong 124]

One of the mods i really like. Good job, mah boi.

 

 

Hoping to see different kinds of watches... a G-Shock mock-up item?, extremely rare LED watches?, a Cat watch? :3

In "Project Zomboid" moon phases influences on farming (just look in "basicFarming.lua"). Does your mod show this moon phases on night textures? If no, please add it in the next versions.

And think about season textures (winter, autumn, summer, spring) - it's also need in farming.

[Thuztor 313]

I will make it!

Thank you, lordixi.

[lordixi 28]

Planned for the next version:

- digital watch item to bring back the digital clock

Suggestion: digital clock takes power from the Battery. It will be more realistic and it will be another purpose for the Battery (in present PZ it exists only for Flashlight).

[mrwaddell 12]

I LOVE this!  This is pretty much, exactly what I was thikning.  I love you all.

[Thuztor 313]

I LOVE this! This is pretty much, exactly what I was thikning. I love you all.

I will re-release it in future. It should also become a part of Vacation Islands.

HELL Yeah!  Vacation Islands!?  Like "Dead Island," but "Project Zomboid" style?  That sounds so badass!  I you, all love.

[mvhnexus 1]

is this mod dead? i loved using this mod months ago!

[Thuztor 313]

As long as I'm not dead, my modifications also won't be dead.

I have to see when I have time for it again.

[Thuztor 313]

Now it should work with the current PZ version!

For me it works great!

 

Just download the files from the new link in the OP.

 

Edit: I have vacations now!

[PintLasher 162]

reminds me of UnrealWorld

[Thuztor 313]

New future plans in the OP, which were a long time in my mind.

Will probably take some time with a new update. But I hope not too long. ;)

[Thuztor 313]

New Version!
