Introduction

     This plugin adds a real time system to your game. Assigned variables
will automatically update based on values detected from the game client's
NodeJS Date function. This effectively gives you the ability to create
events that trigger off real time changes as long as you set up the
variables and switches to do so.

Setup Instructions

1. Open up the Plugin Parameters.
2. Assign all the Switch and Variable parameters to switches and variables.
3. Set up the tint values for each hour.
4. For maps you want there to be tinting on, insert <Real Time Tint> in the
   map's notebox.
5. Setup vocabulary settings to meet your game's standards.

Warnings

     While this plugin is based on "real time", it's actually based on
whatever time the computer is using upon opening the game client. Changing
the computer's time while the game is active will not change the time, until
the game client has been closed down and restarted.
