Is this just not quite finished yet? My only choices were 10 or 11, am or pm.

Will we be able to have more flexibility in the time in the next release?

No hurry, I know JP is still on vacation.

Something nice to add would be:

<A> My Game (coming soon) <-- Current
<A> My Game (Open's @ 08/06/2011 15:00 CST) <-- Would be a nice :D
I see if you hit the game letter when it says (coming soon) you get the rest of the info so my above request may be moot.
This game will open in 41 minutes.

Game Title: SZ - DM
Start Date: 08/06/2011
Start Time: 03:00 pm (Central Daylight Time)


I just did one for a test through the T-Edit * menu and seemed to work fine for me....

Set date to open game

<A> SZ - DM (INACTIVE)

Select game (Q for none): A


Enter the date in the format MM/DD/YYYY where MM is the month, DD is the day,
and YYYY is the four digit year.

Current date is 08/06/2011

Please enter the date (ENTER to abort): 08/06/2011

Enter the time in the format HH:MM where HH is the hour from 0 to 23 and
MM is either 00 or 30 minutes.

Current time is 14:00

Please enter the time (ENTER to abort): 15:00

Game will start on 08/06/2011 at 3:00 pm
(1 hour and 13 minutes)

Selection (? for menu) :

Using Console mode:

The dialog doesn't allow a date/time that is in the past, so I had fun setting the time for tonight's games also. The date initially came up as 9/1 and it wouldn't let me set the month to 8, because 8/1 is in the past. I changed the day to 31, and then I was able to set the month to 8. Then I tried to set the date to today, and it wouldn't let me because the time was set to midnite. I set the date to tomorrow, and then I set the desired time. Then I rolled the date back to today.

I think it would have been a lot easier to telnet into the admin port like Toyman did.

BTW, I hate spin buttons. I would much rather be able to type in the desired date/time.

Right, but at the comand center I wasn't able to change the time to anything other than:

10:00 am/pm
10:30 am/pm
11:00 am/pm
11:30 am/pm

Today's date

What I wanted to do was to set a 3:00 pm game open time when I left the house this morning.

If you set the date to tomorrow, then it should let you set it to any time, and then change it back to today.

I think I would still clasify this as a bug though.

I'll fix this. And I can probably allow you to type in the numbers as well. Since it's restricted to 00 and 30 for time, I just thought it was easier to just use the spin buttons.
