Playtime

Lezard_Valeth

Sorry if this is stupid question... is there any way to see playtime in BGEE? I know I can see number of days/hours/etc I've spent in the game world, but is there a way to see playtime in respects to real time? I know a lot of older CRPGs don't have this feature, but thought I might ask considering this is the Enhanced Edition.

It can be done with a wonderful script by @CrevsDaak : https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/comment/610887#Comment_610887

Thanks for the response, but I'm playing on an Android tablet. Any way to track playtime on the Android version?

THEN

				DisplayStringNoName(Player1,~You have been playing for <7C#HOURS_PLAYED> hour(s). Go and buy yourself a life.~)

I've modified it so it easily runs on Android, but you can't stop it, and it displays the time only in hours and every hour.

You can make this work each minute or every 10 minutes by changing the value given to "7c#timethissession" (be sure to change all of them). The value's in seconds. (If you want to change the message string (the stuff inside the ~ tildes) but maybe it's not worth it.)
