       Year 2, Peret IV-15, 10:54 AM        4/19/2024 1:06:29 AM

server_time and last_rt, below, is Epoch Time ( seconds elapsed since: 01/01/1970 00:00:00 )

server_time:1713488789UTC Timestamp  (Current UTC Epoch Time)
last_rt:1713488721Last Real Time Game Server polled @ 4/19/2024 1:06:29 AM  UTC   (Your Time:  ) was last update received from game server (about every 5 minutes).
last_gt:81687060How many game seconds (not real seconds) has elapsed, since Start of Tale. This is calculated based on Last Egypt Time reported by game server: , received last poll.
diff_rt:68Math: server_time - last_rt = diff_rt  (How many real seconds has elapsed since last poll)
Time ratio:3.2909021806689Ratio is dynamic and is determined by server lag. 'Normally' Egypt time is 3 game minutes = 1 Egypt minute. Ratio will offset that 3 game minutes 'general rule'.
  • Ratio = avg(gt_secs - prev_gt_secs) / avg(rt_secs - prev_rt_secs)
    • Daffy Time Multiplier: 0.9030326064437 Multiplier = 1+(1 - (ratio/3)) . 60 seconds * Multiplier is how many real seconds per minute Game Time.
    diff_gt:224Math: diff_rt * ratio = diff_gt

    Fun fact:   (Note: all values below will dynamically change depending on current ratio)
  • ratio/3 = 1.097
  • 1 + (1 - ratio/3) = 0.903
  • 60s * 0.903 = 54.18s - This means currently 54.18s = 1 Game Minute
  • 54.18s / 3 = 18.06s - This means currently 18.06s = 1 Egypt minute.
    • new_gt:81687284Math: last_gt + diff_gt = new_gt
    gameSecondsToArray(new_gt):Year 2, Peret IV-15, 10:54 AMBased on the new_gt value (game seconds (not real seconds) since beginning of Tale), I can deduce this is the current Egypt Time. Accuracy should be within 1-2 Egypt minutes
    Accuracy depends on how accurate Ratio value is (can change at anytime based on server load and other factors). Ratio value is an average over a period of time.


    Below are Different Clocks you can use on your own website (include with <iframe> or whatever):

    Example (Note you can use http or https, depending on your site, to avoid cross content errors):

    Tab Time:

    https://catitd.com/gameclock/tabtime.asp   < OR >   https://armeagle.atitd.org/tabtime.php

    This will show current egypt time in tab delimited format. Useful to parse into an array with tab (as seperator) - \t on Javascript/PHP or vbtab on asp/aspx/vbscript.

Note, below link includes <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="900"> tag, which will refresh the page, automatically, every 15m for ensured accuracy.

    
https://catitd.com/gameClock_iframe_simple.asp - Dynamic (time keeps updating without manually refreshing page)


    
Additional parmameters you can add to querystring:

    
noseconds=yes   ( Don't show (seconds) )

    
norefresh=yes   ( Don't include <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="900"> tag - That forces page to refresh every 15m )
