I'm currently writing a script that displays the active time in FFXI... and this would help a lot. Thanks Beware of MeStinkBAD! He knows more than he actually does!

It won't be the actual millisecond value for ctime but from what you're saying it doesn't sound like you actually need that. Spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and stupid comments are intentional.

Well.. that's what I do at the moment... here's what I have...

Code:

  var %vlocaltime = $calc((898 * 360 + 30) * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000 / 25)
  var %Bday = $calc($ctime(23/06/2002 8:00:03) * 1000) 
  var %diff = $calc(%vlocaltime - %Bday)
  var %eTime = $calc($ctime * 1000)

Actually I did come up with a semi-solution but it's not working out exactly as I had hoped...

Code:

  var %ctime = $ctime
  while (%ctime == $ctime) { }
  %p.msec.inc = 0
  .timer.msec.inc -cho 0 5 /inc % $+ p.msec.inc 5 $:| if (% $+ p.msec.inc &gt; 999) % $+ p.msec.inc = 0

I then add %p.msec.inc to $ctime * 1000 and I get the difference in msecs.

Here is all the code I have so far... I'm sorry for the lack of comments... I'll add them later...

Code:

  ;-- Creates Weekly array table
  if !$hget(FFXI.VanaDay) {
    hmake FFXI.VanaDay 9
    hadd FFXI.VanaDay n0 Fire
    hadd FFXI.VanaDay n1 Earth
    hadd FFXI.VanaDay n2 Water
    hadd FFXI.VanaDay n3 Wind
    hadd FFXI.VanaDay n4 Ice
    hadd FFXI.VanaDay n5 Thunder
    hadd FFXI.VanaDay n6 Light
    hadd FFXI.VanaDay n7 Darkness
    hadd FFXI.VanaDay n8 Fire
  }
  ; -- Get's curent and vlocal time
  var %vlocaltime = $calc((898 * 360 + 30) * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000 / 25)
  var %Bday = $calc($ctime(23/06/2002 8:00:03) * 1000 + %p.msec.inc) 
  var %diff = $calc(%vlocaltime - %Bday)
  var %eTime = $calc($ctime * 1000 + %p.msec.inc)
  ; -- difference between earth time a Vanatime
  var %vTime = $calc((%eTime + %Diff) * 25)
  ; -- calculates the year/month/day etc 
  var %vYear = $base($floor($calc(%vTime / (360 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000))),10,10,4)
  var %vMon  = $base($floor($calc((%vTime % (360 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000)) / (30 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000) + 1)),10,10,2)
  var %vDate = $base($floor($calc((%vTime % (30 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000)) / (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000) + 1)),10,10,2)
  var %vHour = $base($floor($calc((%vTime % (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000)) / (60 * 60 * 1000))),10,10,2)
  var %vMin  = $base($floor($calc((%vTime % (60 * 60 * 1000)) / (60 * 1000))),10,10,2)
  var %vSec  = $base($floor($calc((%vTime % (60 * 1000)) / 1000)),10,10,2)
  var %vDay  = $floor($calc((%vTime % (8 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000)) / (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000)))
  ; -- output text
  var %VanaTxt = $+(%vYear,/,%vMon,/,%vDate,$chr(40),$hget(FFXI.VanaDay,$+(n,%vDay)),$chr(41)) $+(%vHour,:,%vMin,:,%vSec)
  ;-- appends output variable
  %p.tb = %p.tb - $+([,%VanaTxt,])
