I am displaying a clock on a button. I am using the script from "Making a clock" post, by Kjata. I am also inputing time from the mud to initialize the variables with the correct system time.

I can't seem to figure out where, or in which manner to apply the math to convert the clock from a system time to a game time. The ratio of time is 3:2 3 game hours per 2 real hours. The MUD is on a 16 hour day. 8 morning 8 night. Should I just be multiplying one of the clock values by .66 ? Is that the best or only way ?

I have read a few posts that refer to this same issue buy try as I might I cant get it to work properly. I know this isn't diffucult but its escaping me. Thanks for whatever help you can provide.

Kjata's script

To do a 3:2 ratio, add 3 to gametime for every 2 realtime.
For 16 hours instead of 24, change the max hours.

#VAR hours 0
#VAR mins 0
#VAR secs 0
#ALARM {*2} {#ADD secs 3;#IF (@secs >= 60) {#ADD mins 1;#VAR secs 0};#IF (@mins >= 60) {#ADD hours 1;#VAR mins 0};#IF (@hours >= 16) {#VAR hours 0}}
#STATUS {MUD Time: @hours:@mins}
#ALIAS settime {#VAR hours %1;#VAR mins %2;#VAR secs 0}
