I get the feeling that there is none, but does anyone know of a way to set the year in which the scenario occurs? -------------------- Überraschung des Dosenöffners! "On guard, you musty sofa!" Posts: 627 | Registered: Monday, March 7 2005 08:00 |

There are 280 days in a year according to the docs. The trouble is that I want the scenario set in, say, year 849, but the current years that I have found in my save files seem to be random numbers including 855, 867, and 875. I could force the scenario to not show dates with force_start_day(-1) the docs say, but I'd prefer to just display the correct year. -------------------- Überraschung des Dosenöffners!

The year increments with each scenario you play, starting at 855. There is no set_year call, although it has been requested. So there's no way to get the year counter to display "849" when the player starts your scenario. EDIT: Unless you use a pre-made party and do something that may be described, er, elsewhere.

Yeah, I figured that this was the case; thanks for verifying it, though. I guess I'll just disable the dates and tell the player what year it is in the intro. -------------------- Überraschung des Dosenöffners! "On guard, you musty sofa!" Posts: 627 | Registered: Monday, March 7 2005 08:00 |
