Set unique date & time by level #114

Open tedbarnett opened 2 months ago

tedbarnett commented 2 months ago

Let's make sure that each level opens with the time and date set as follows:

12K BC: 8:30am June 30, 12000 BC (a random summer day near the end of the Ice Age)
1609: 11:40am September 8, 1609 (the afternoon when Henry Hudson first sailed past Manhattan island)
1664: 7:28am September 4, 1664 (the morning the british ships surrounded New Amsterdam)
1776: 9:00pm August 29, 1776 (the night Washington's troops escaped from Brooklyn Heights)

If possible, can we put these values in an easily-edited table somewhere (rather than bury it in a blueprint)?

Okay will adjust that.. We can create "shared variables" for them which can be controled from one table..

tedbarnett commented 2 months ago

Can the table include a text field for "description" as above?

tedbarnett commented 2 months ago

I didn't log this as a bug but noticed that when a level first loads, the large, centered title always shows the year as 1664 (from CustomSunSky in the editor maybe), even if loading 1609. When the smaller date appears at top-right, it is correct there!

tedbarnett commented 2 months ago

Still not working: 1609 level is loading as Sept 4, 1609 (when should be Sept 8 as in loading screen text). Is there a table of values we can edit? If so, where?

tedbarnett commented 2 months ago

Same issue for 12000 BC. Should be June 30.

They will be added today, I had to solve some generall main menu/async loading issues first.
