PlayedTime mod for original Morrowind v1.0
================================================
NOTE: OpenMW players should use the original PlayedTime for OpenMW (more features and more testing).
The PlayedTime mod adds a periodic notice of how long the current character has been played (or, alternatively, how much unproductive time I've spent playing...).
Each full hour plays the subtle "crystal ringing" sound.
Each full day is celebrated with a bell chimes
If the mod is added to an ongoing game it should prompt to optionally estimate played time based on the in-game clock.
This is a cut down version of the original Played Time for OpenMW. I've trimmed out bell sequences. I understand some of the functions I use there don't work with variables in the original MW.
Installation
------------
Place PlayedTime.esp into the Morrowind data folder (alongside Tribuneral.esm etc.)
If adding to an ongoing game make a new save before adding the mod and retain the save until you're sure the mod is working.
Removal
-------
Reverse of installation.
In (brief) testing the mod global variables look to remain afer removal (unlike OpenMW which cleans them up automatically).
Usage
-----
By default notices are every 60 minutes, configurable via console command (see below)
Displaying the current played time can also be performed on the console with:
startscript PlayedTime
For ongoing games can run an estimation based on in-game time:
startscript PlayedTimeGuess
If you want to get a feel for what happens at the hours or the progression of the daily bell sequence
startscript PlayedTimeNextHour
startscript PlayedTimeNextDay
These will add time to the tally, so remember to revert to a previous save or reset your tallies (setting days/hours/minutes as discussed below).
Configuration
-------------
Setting the popup interval, where MINUTES is the desired interval in minutes:
Set PlayedTimeInterval to MINUTES
Modifying played time (for instance, when adding the mod onto an ongoing game or wanting to carry over play time to a new character):
Set PlayedTimeDays to DAYS
Set PlayedTimeHours to HOURS
Set PlayedTimeMinutes to MINUTES
DAYS, HOURS, MINUTES should be integers
