time widget enhancement

Open ronneycz opened this issue 10 months ago • 2 comments

currently the widget only shows the server's local time

it could show each player the time in the Zone they're from and fallback to the server's local time if their time isn't found (cause they're using "OTH" or something)

optionally make the widget clickable and you can select a timezone you want (that would probably be your own, and well, this would make it so "OTH" players can choose the correct time too)

Considering how otherworldly complicated timezones are (you'd need a giant list of every game region mapped to a timezone region), the fact the time widget is displayed globally, and how many players don't set their country/region in-game to their real one, I'm not sure this relatively minor improvement makes sense to add considering how few people it will help.

Theoretically it could be done by doing a lookup of their ip addresses in a plugin. Something like this seems fine to use... Though TM does just allow people to set a different ip address for themselves, a vast minority of players do this compared to how many have their region wrong.
