Instructions unclear, burned my toaster.

I suppose it works for Vox Pupuli?

This is a pretty simple and usefull mod, thanks. I still seem to suffer from OMT though ):

For those that wish to change the clock to a 24hr clock, just edit the Example_SimpleClockAddin.lua, so it is:

local t = os.date("%H:%M");

instead of

local t = os.date("%I:%M");

You can also edit the placement of the clock by editing the Example_SimpleClockAddin.xml
Look for the part that has Offset="0,20" . If you change it to Offset="0,30" , it will be placed just below the top bar.

And if you really want to get fancy, you can also edit the color of the font.

Works very well. But, it would be amazing, if i could choose between american Clock (12h) and european Clock (24h).

was the mod the first mod for civ V?

This cool mod would be improved if you moved it from center to the right so as not to visually interfer with the resource icons.

i don't understand, what is this mod for?
mars-chan 18 Dec, 2015 @ 7:28am 
coul you also track how long it takes me to get mods?
DramaKwama 9 Sep, 2015 @ 12:48pm 
Thank. You. Sir. You have no idea how often I lose track of time on here.

ner0417 How about putting it in its own bar, below? Then the clock wouldn't have to move at all.
ner0 29 Mar, 2015 @ 2:46pm 
Once I reached the later stages of the game, the clock was underneath my strategic resources (coal and aluminum). It would be nice if you could scale the clock so that it would slide over toward the right side instead of becoming illegible.

It'd be more convenient if it had a countdown function. Set it for 3 hours and 3 hours later it goes of and tells me to save and quit and get the fuck to work cuz i'm lazy. The clock works just aswell though.

@GuyFawkesNews No sh*t! Really? Are you a computer wizard or something? Anyways, thanks, now i can get rid of this simple solution and keep track of time during my game by tabbing once every few minutes, wich doesn't seem annoying at all! Thanks a lot mate:D:
B Raheem 2 Mar, 2015 @ 8:41pm 
you people do realize you can just hit shift tab and see the steam clock right? Jesus Christ

Is there a direct download for this mod? It's not showing up in the Mods list, no matter how much times I've tried to fix it

Thanks

Civ is a destroyer of time! Love this mod.
phillips_glenn 14 Oct, 2014 @ 2:49pm 
Well Done!
Throedoe 8 Oct, 2014 @ 1:39pm 
a clock of the game's time or real life time? really wish mods would be more direct about what they do...
Rule Follower 19 Sep, 2014 @ 10:25am 
sucks. virus
IronfistXIII 8 Jul, 2014 @ 1:10am 
Needs some work, but it would be amazing if there was possibly an alarm function attached to it and the clock was placed somewhere a little easier to see.
CurroSFC 1 Jul, 2014 @ 7:08am 
Starting the game is quite useful, but after discovering some resources you almost can't see the clock
HoneyNut Scooter 29 Jun, 2014 @ 5:16pm 
When is this going to be updated so it actually works?
beergardens 20 Jun, 2014 @ 5:37am 
Must have.
andrewd18 14 Jun, 2014 @ 7:22pm 
Most important mod ever.
Level 14 Mage 10 Jun, 2014 @ 8:25pm 
Seriously though, thanks. I remember this option in civ 4. I always felt like civ 5 was missing a few of those details.
The Robot with Human Hair 9 May, 2014 @ 8:05pm 
So useful for nights when I should be studying for finals but play Civ, and dont like to be truant.
Mark Gormley 23 Apr, 2014 @ 7:42am 
This is absolutely fantastic. Thank you for making this! Although, since I'm European, I was wondering; would it be possible to make a clock that showed 24H instead of the current 12H? (ie. 10.23 = 22.23)

Love the picture up top... lol
Chokenspit 3 Apr, 2014 @ 3:16pm 
This was the first mod I downloaded and is still by far my most important one.
termi 8 Mar, 2014 @ 8:50pm 
Such a simple, but useful mod.
wgmick1 19 Feb, 2014 @ 4:51pm

Reed 18 Jul, 2013 @ 8:43pm 
Doesn't seem to be working for me with Brave New World.
jadeia 17 Jul, 2013 @ 8:13pm 
My favourite mod so far, ever :) It's simple but does exactly what you want it to do!
Charles 17 Jul, 2013 @ 2:16pm 
It doesn't work for me, either. I subscribed, went into the mods in the game, enabled it, and I don't see a clock anywhere.
