Modding the in-game clock.

Hey!

I'm wondering if someone could help me locate the area of the game files that I need to look to fiddle with the clock in the game? I simply want to make a small modification where I make the clock timer tick in individual 1-minute increments rather than ticks of 10.

Does anyone have any advice on how I can do this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

 

I'm no SMAPI modder but, I'm pretty sure this would be a massively complicated mod to build, if it's even possible, which i'm not sure of. Its certainly not as easy as fiddling with game files.

 

Aww, no. What makes you think it would be massively complicated? It would only really be an aesthetic thing, so instead of the clock skipping in tens, it would only SHOW as one minute ticks, but the actual rate of time wouldn't change.

 

I don't think its something you can achieve with a simple XNB edit. Even if there is a file somewhere that contains images of all the times, you're going to have to add a new image for every minute, and then get the game to accept and display those new times. There are plenty of mods that let you change the speed of the 10 minute tick, but I'm pretty sure the 10 minute tick itself is an integral part of the base game. Again though, not
really my expertise I just do art and map modding

 

I just started on SMAPI modding, so I was looking to do something else, I stumbled in the exact function you are asking..
There's a third function Game1.player.performTenMinuteUpdate();
Might look into that one too..
GOOD LUCK!

Code:
