Date Changer / Moon Phase Module

Give Zeus the power to go forward and backward to any moment in time!

Originally posted by M9-SD:

This composition[community.bistudio.com]is meant to be placed down from the Zeus interface. On servers that allow ‘init’ scripts, it acts as a module. When placed down, the utility’s menu will open. After it takes a moment to load all the days of the year, you can begin selecting the date and time down to the hour, with the moon phases visualized via bar graphs.

This composition features an altered version of KillZoneKid’s moon phase utility. I have adapted it for multiplayer zeus scenarios as a composition/module. The GUI tweaks and added functionality include the ability to set the hour, globally execute setDate, and include a transition screen, with BIS_fnc_setDate. In addition to this there is now text that types out on your screen displaying the new date and time in text/english format. Check the screenshots above.

How to use:

Place it down from Zeus compositions.
Enter a year & hit SHOW.
Scroll to a month.
Select a day.
Choose the hour.
Check whether you want a transition.
Click SET MOON PHASE to change the date & time.

Prerequisites:

Subscribe & download.
Join a server that meets the init script requirements.*

* A prerequisite for this to function is the current server/mission allowing init scripts.
