Bind Seasons to ingame days

[Mitality]

Describe the feature

Why?

• After so many issues with the calendar not working properly, this would add a consistant way to calculate the exact time within a season, down to ingame seconds.
• In game time and seasons would be guaranteed to no longer desync after some time.
• It's the only way to sync Shaders with seasoned visual effects with AS.

How? (Can be just a setting)

• Calculate the current season based on ingame days. (for example, if a season lasts 2 ingame days, the transition lasts 1 on top, and the starting season is spring, ingame days 0-2 should be spring, ingame days 3-5 should be summer, and so on)
• Do this at the start lf every ingame day and whenever the time is changed by a player or plugin.
• When /as setseason <season> is used, just advance the time to the next occurrence of the desired season and recalculate.

(Can easily be combined with this into a single AS update)

Greetings, can you explain in more detail the benefits of this feature request? Attaching photos/videos can help get your point across. @Mitality

Sure, take Bliss shader as an example.

It has many seasonal features and effects including additional snow effects in the winter that cant be achieved with just plugins.

Since a shader isn't realy able to communicate with the server, the only way it can sync these seasonal effects with server-side seasons is by using the ingame days that can be accessed by shaders.

Without AdvancedSeasons seasons being bound to ingame days too, I don't think there is a way to sync them and therefore use seasonal effects with shaders on AS servers.

Get the point?

@Mitality I apologize for the delay. I read this now and I still don't get the point. I don't know how shaders work. If you can give a more detailed description of Bliss Shaders to make my stupid brain understand, I will appreciate it.
