#define MAX_TIMEZONES 4
struct mud_data {
int time_offsets [MAX_TIMEZONES];
char * time_zones [MAX_TIMEZONES];
};
void do_time(CHAR_DATA *ch,char *arg) {
[...]
now=time(NULL);
for (i=0;i<4;i++)
if (mud_data.time_zones[i][0]) {
there=now+mud_data.time_offsets[i]*3600;
sprintf_to_char(ch,"The time in %-15s is %-3s\r",
mud_data.time_zones[i],ctime(&there));
}
}
And the config-file for the time:
#TIME
0 Europe~
8 Australia~
-6 EasternUSA~
-9 WesternUSA~
0 0~
Yes, twice a year during the change in DST the time in Australia
needs to be corrected. But then, if the server was on the southern
hemisphere the other three would have to be corrected :-)
