The following is a complete script that actually keeps track of the in-game date and time in the status bar. This assumes a 24-hour clock, and automatically adjusts for lag 6 times per Achaean day. Note that the date is a short date, and the clock is in military time. To initialize this script, enter the command DATE in Achaea (I do it every time I log in), and then wait for the first adjustment reset (can be up to 15 minutes, but will usually be quicker). Every 30 seconds real time is equivalent to 12 minutes Achaean time.

#CLASS {Time}
#ALIAS ADDTODATE {#add DateMinute 12;#if (@DateMinute >= 60) {#add DateHour 1;#var DateMinute "00"}}
#ALIAS UPDATEDATE {#var DateYear %3;#var DateDay %1;#if (%2 = "Sarapin") { #var DateMonth 1};#if (%2 = "Daedalan") { #var DateMonth 2};#if (%2 = "Aeguary") { #var DateMonth 3};#if (%2 = "Miraman") { #var DateMonth 4};#if (%2 = "Scarlatan") { #var DateMonth 5};#if (%2 = "Ero") { #var DateMonth 6};#if (%2 = "Valnuary") { #var DateMonth 7};#if (%2 = "Lupar") { #var DateMonth 8};#if (%2 = "Phaestian") { #var DateMonth 9};#if (%2 = "Chronos") { #var DateMonth 10};#if (%2 = "Glacian") { #var DateMonth 11};#if (%2 = "Mayan") { #var DateMonth 12}}

Roncli,

This looks really cool, but rather than using 12 nested ifs in your UPDATEDATE alias, might I suggest using %item()?
