Cheats: Time Alteration (Skip Time, Faster Time, etc.)#1167Dumbledork01 wants to merge 20 commits into
Conversation
Based upon the area Link is in, the rate of time can be set to it's base value and can be incremented up 400 times (to the rate of the sun's song.) Useful for impatient people who don't have the sun's song and want to skulltula hunt or who don't want to wait around for dampe's digging tour.
Added in a slider to increase the rate of time. Put freeze time above it so they all are next to each other.
If the sun's song is active, the rate of time will not change even if the slider is on. I'm still looking into where else the rate of time is changed in the game.
Because I didn't want the cheats menu to be crowded with time cheats, I created a separate sub-menu for it like the infinite cheats. It has an easy to access location for changing the time of day to dawn, noon, evening, or midnight as well.
Included logic to set time to morning, noon, evening, night, and to reset the slider for time.

Could you seperate the drawbridge and scarecrow features into their own PRs? They don't really have anything to do with each other, and makes reviewing/commenting for each feature easier. You'll have a better chance of stuff being merged in faster that way too. |
|
@aMannus can do! I didn't want to flood the project with PRs since I have a few other things I want to add as well (skip frog song minigame, switch to adult or child link, skip zeldas lullaby, skip song of time) but I can do separate PRs for them. (I'll probably put all of the ocarina skips in the same PR though.) |
I'm not sure if those skips are worth having cheats for, but you're free to make PRs for them and have people look at it. |
|
@aMannus I figure the ocarina skips could all be made into one enhancement called Quick Ocarina or something once I've got them made. I guess I'm just a lazy oot player haha. |

Could you add text above the time speed slider indicating what the current value is? You can look at other sliders in the same file that do this already if you need an example. |
|
@aMannus Should I put it above the slider, or inside of it similar to the Current Time Of Day slider I have beneath it? I can do either |
Now the rate of time slider will be able to display the current rate of time in any area. Various Time Cheats The slider will tell you the current time of day. Added Skybox Updates Now, when a person selects to change the time, the skybox will update. Added a clock to cheats Added a clock to tell what the time currently is. Logic to display time rate Added logic to show the current time rate on the time rate modifier slider.

Added text to show the current rate of time. Changes based upon the rate of time in a particular scene.
|
@aMannus Ok, the text should be working now! |
I found that MANY spots are activated with this area of code (the triforces on the ground in temples, entrance to Darunia's room, Fairy Fountains, etc.) Exceptions not covered yet (that I know of) include Darunia himself, the Song of Storms grave, and possibly Time blocks. I will test more and see what else to add.
If in an area where the time rate is 0, link is now respawned so the area can change to it's nighttime or daytime variant.

looks like this pr addresses #57, but also some other stuff |

@JakeEdvenson any interest in updating this PR? If not I am willing to take it on, I think these are improvements we want. |
|
@garrettjoecox Yeah, if you're willing to update it, that'd be great. I haven't worked on this project in so long, I'd need to set up my IDE and whatnot to get it working again haha. |
|
@garrettjoecox Is this still something you want to pick up and continue? |
Yeap. On my todo list |
|
i'm going to go ahead and close this one. a lot has changed since it was originally opened, and all of the code here will still be able to be referenced with the PR closed. thank you so much for getting this PR out, sorry it fell through the cracks for so long. |

Possible Issues
An exception has been added for when the Sun's Song is active, I'm checking for what other exceptions should be added. If you know of any others, please leave a comment for me.
