Sleeping and Transportation Advance Time
Version 1.0
A mod for for TES3MP by Adul


Description and Usage:
----------------------

This mod enables the passage of time while sleeping and while using boat and silt strider services in TES3MP, closely replicating the original single player experience. Due to scripting limitations, waiting instead of sleeping doesn't advance time.

Since in-game time is synced between players/clients in TES3MP, this mod is best used on servers that focus on close-knit cooperative play.

After installing the mod, you need to configure which player(s) gain the power to advance time through sleep and transportation services by adding the "AdvanceTimeSpell" spell ability to their characters. Use the following console command to add it to the desired characters:

player->AddSpell AdvanceTimeSpell

This mod was created for TES3MP version 0.7.


Installation:
-------------

1. (Clients) Extract TES3MP_Advance_Time.esp into one of OpenMW's data folders, and then enable it in the OpenMW launcher.
2. (Server) Extract advanceTime.lua to [TES3MP install folder]\server\scripts\custom
3. (Server) Open up [TES3MP install folder]\server\scripts\customScripts.lua in a text editor, and add the following line at the bottom:
require("custom/advanceTime")

Make sure the server allows clients to use the plugin. For more information on how to enable plugins on your server, look up the Detailed FAQ page on the TES3MP Steam group.


Known Issues:
-------------

1. Waiting doesn't advance time, only sleeping does. This is due to Morrowind's scripting limitations.
2. The mod detects the length of time that the player character spends sleeping by using a real-time frame timer, so the detection can be somewhat inaccurate at low framerates. When sleeping while your FPS is in the low twenties or below, the actual time spent sleeping might be a few hours off from what you've specified in the rest menu. It's usually pretty accurate, though.
