Question Mud Events to happen on certain days IRL.

Hello,
So I am wondering using the time procedures in C, if I can make one that would check the day and if it was to a certain day is defined something special will happen.

IE
December 25, 2016
The procedure would check to see if that day is today and if it is then x2 experience.

Something like this?

Now you can check in gain_exp() ( github.com/tbamud/tbamud/blob/master/src/limits.c#L235 ) whether it is happy hour:

Code:

int it_is_christmas() { time_t t = time(NULL); struct tm tm = *localtime(&t); if (tm.tm_mon == 11 && tm.tm_mday == 25) { return TRUE; } return FALSE; }

Now you can check in gain_exp() ( github.com/tbamud/tbamud/blob/master/src/limits.c#L235 ) whether it is happy hour:

Code:

if (gain > 0) { if ((IS_HAPPYHOUR) && (IS_HAPPYEXP)) gain += (int)((float)gain * ((float)HAPPY_EXP / (float)(100))); gain = MIN(CONFIG_MAX_EXP_GAIN, gain); /* put a cap on the max gain per kill */ + if (it_is_christmas()) { + gain *= 2; + }

Ha. I was calling it wrong. I had tm.mon = DECEMBER. Silly me. I wasn't sure how to call months and days! Thanks
