Board Thread:LotR Mod Technical Support/@comment-30921003-20170107225558

Hi folks,

I like using the InGameInfo XML mod - for the most part, it works fine with LOTR, but the day/time tags show the vanilla minecraft time info, not the LOTR ones. I'm trying to add some functionality to the xml file so that the mod reflects the LOTR time, not the MC one.

From the searches I've done, it looks like an LOTR day takes twice as long to complete than a 'vanilla' day - I've used this info to display the LOTR day correctly, but I'm losing my head over the time conversion.

From the info I've found, 1 vanilla hour = 1000 ticks, so it follows that 1 LOTR hour = 2000 ticks. Am I right to be trying to convert time to ticks as a 'standard' conversion rate, or will the tick rate depend on the power of my laptop? Am I thinking about this too much? Is 42 the answer to this question, life, the universe, and everything?

I'm sure there's an easy answer to this one, but I've been considering this for longer than I care to admin, and feel like I'm going round in circles like a derpy cow on a random block!

Please help?! Thanks in advance :)

TLDR:  Is there a simple formula to convert vanilla MC time to LOTR time?
