TimeZone
Current version: v1.01.024

This script shows the local time of the contact in the chatwindow
If you live in the UK, and a friend lives in the States, you have about 8 hours time difference. And it's really difficult to remember if you have lots of contacts with all different timezones..



Features:
- Customizable position and time format
- Multiline support OR color and format tags support
- Tabbed chats support
- Debug
- Auto Update


Commands:
If no parameters are specified the given property is reset, except for Left and Bottom, these properties have no standard value.

/tzSetGMT [optional: Email] <TimeDiff>
      Change the Time difference given to a specific contact *
/tzMask <Mask>
      changes the time format to the specific mask
      (h:mm a is the standard AM/PM)

/tzAlwaysShowTimer <true|false>
      If true, the timer is shown even when there is not time difference
/tzFixOffset <true|false>
      If true, it fixes the top position when the contact uses emoticons in his name and/or psm
/tzFixTabs <true|false>
      If true, it fixes the top or left position when using tabs

/tzDebug <true|false>
      Starts or stops the debug Traces
/tzDebugTimer <true|false>
      Starts or stops the debug Traces fired in OnEvent_Timer
      (Doesn't show in the commands list)
/tzShowDebug <true|false>
      Shows or Hides the debug window
      (Doesn't show in the commands list)
/tzTrace JScript code
      Evaluates the given code, and traces the result
      For checking properties, or changing them
      Playing with this can cause the script to be unstable.
      Only use when asked to by me, or for your own risk

/tzHeight <pixels>,
/tzWidth <pixels>,
/tzLeft <pixels>,
/tzRight <pixels>,
/tzTop <pixels>,
/tzBottom <pixels>,
      These commands change the size and position of the timer
      If you change the Right position, the Left position is discarded
      and the Timer locks at the given position to the right side of the conversation window

/tzReset
      This resets all settings, except for the Debug and AutoUpdate settings

*) When changing the timezone of the contact, please note the difference between the different possible formats: -0,5 / -00.50 / -00:30 all indicate half an hour difference (earlier). When using a sot or a comma, the numbers after it are considered decimals of the hours, when using the semicolon, it is considered as minutes

Limitations
At the moment you can change the Time difference for each contact, not the Timezone, this will be changed later on...
No support for daylight savingtime (can be changed manually)


Known bugs:
n/a

if you find a bug Always check if you are using the latest version. If you are using the latest version, please add the bug here or contact me on WLM (shondoit@hotmail.com)
Specify when it occured, what happened/didn't happen, and also include the Debug report


ToDo:
- Implement Timezone support (instead of Time difference)
- Implement Daylight Saving time
- Add GUI
- and more

Credits
Really big thanks to Jay_Jay, for testing my script and help me fix the 'no-send' bug
And thanks to Cookie

Please give comments to what you would see added, or when something is wrong, please post (or mail) the Debug report

You can contact me at shondoit@hotmail.com

maybe a clickable map with the timezones on?

Will be some extra work, but I will (try to) Implement it in a later version

Yay! That's a timer in the chatwindow itself!
I don't really know what should be added else... maybe a nice configuration GUI to ensure the success of this script. But according to the script, that won't be a real problem.

Thumb up!

cool
When is it going to be released because i can't wait!!!

The first version will be released as soon as I sorted out the problems with WinAce

The GUI? for Timer placement, and Format options will be implemented in a next version...

I have some problems with WinAce, for packing it in a PLSC, so It will be released a couple of days later

Timezone
This script shows the local time of the contact
If you live in the UK, and a friend lives in the States, you have about 8 hours time difference...


At the moment you can change the Time difference for each contact, not the timezone, this will be changed later on...
No support for daylight savingtime (can be changed manually)
The timer can be shown even when there is no time difference, so it works as a normal clock...

ToDo:
- Implement Timezone support (instead of Time difference)
- Implement Daylight Saving time
- Implement Moveable Timer
- Implement Custom time format
- and more

Please give comments to what you would see added
