| Pass the Time |
| A Morrowind Mod, Version 1.2.1 |

===============================================================================

Description |
-------------

This mod allows you to drastically speed up time while a configurable key is
pressed down. Pressing control along with the hotkey allows you to speed up
time even more. This provides a more natural way to wait than using the vanilla
wait menu. It also allows you to configure the timescale used during normal
gameplay, and provides an option to adjust fast travel time proportionally with
the normal timescale.

"Fast Forward" mode changes the Timescale global variable, which determines how
fast time passes in the game, when you press down the hotkey (Y by default),
then changes it back to normal when you release the key.

Vanilla Morrowind uses a timescale of 30, which means that 30 in-game seconds
pass for each second of real time (i.e. time passes 30 times faster in-game
than it does in real life).

By default, this mod sets the timescale to 360 in Fast Forward mode. In other
words, it speeds up the in-game passage of time to six minutes per second.
Press down control+hotkey to enter Turbo mode. By default, the timescale in
Turbo mode is 3600, or one hour per second.

The Fast Forward, Turbo and normal timescales are all configurable in the Mod
Config Menu, and you can set them to whatever you want.

The hotkey itself is also configurable, and you can configure the mod to
display a message whenever the timescale changes.

Another option in the MCM allows you to change how much time elapses during
fast travel (e.g. boats and silt striders) proportionally with the normal
timescale. It does this by changing the fTravelTimeMult GMST. For example,
changing the normal timescale from 30 to 6 means that the boat ride from
Ebonheart to Sadrith Mora will take only two hours instead of the vanilla 11.

I highly recommend using Clock Block with this mod, so you can see what time it
is as you wait (configure Clock Block to display in-game time rather than real
time).

--------------
Installation |
--------------

Use a mod management tool such as Wrye Mash, or just copy the MWSE directory to
your Data Files directory.

--------------
Requirements |
--------------

This mod requires MGE XE and the latest version of MWSE 2.1. Just install MGE
XE and run MWSE-Update.exe to download the latest build.

---------------
Compatibility |
---------------

Pass the Time should be compatible with just about anything that's not a
timescale mod. Don't use this mod with Dynamic Timescale. That mod incorporates
the functionality of Pass the Time, implemented slightly differently due to how
that mod works.

Thanks to OperatorJack's Security Enhanced (a mod I highly recommend, by the
way) for clueing me in about how to allow the player to configure the hotkey.
