Real Time Sync Reborn

WARNING : Delete the older version before updating this mod. Preserve your APPID.

INTRODUCTION:

Real Time Sync Reborn is, as its name says, a reborn of a mod originally developed for GTA IV which was intended to synchronize game time to system time. GTA IV version was pretty rudimentary since functions offered by GTA IV in terms of weather and forecast was pretty inexistent. Actually, I completely gave up after a lot of tries. That time is over folks!

Welcome to Real Time Sync Reborn!

Time synchronization between the game and your system
Weather synchronization between your city (can be set in a configuration file) and your game
Weather notifications every 10 minutes via the new notification system introduced in GTA V
An ingame menu to setup the mod (arrow keys to navigate, Enter to validate)
Crash prevention (because we don’t like when our game crashes)

What are the drawbacks?!

You need to sign up an account (IT’S FREE) on www.openweathermap.org to receive an APPID key in order to get your local weather forecast.

PREREQUISITES:

The latest version of Rage Plugin Hook
Requirements inherent to Rage Plugin Hook’s installation
An Openweathermap.org APPID (It’s free!)

INSTALLATION:

Spoiler

Put RealTimeSyncReborn.dll, RealTimeSyncReborn folder and its INI file into your Plugins folder

Open your INI file and modify it as you wish

USAGE:

Spoiler

Launch your game via the Rage Plugin Hook binary

Load your single player story (we don’t like players using mods online)

Press F4 to open your Rage Plugin Hook console

Type loadPlugin RealTimeSyncReborn.dll then press Enter!

Enjoy

KEY MAPPING:

Don't forget to read the README.pdf file to see what you can use as key name for your Menu key !

What's New in Version 1.1a

Released January 21, 20179 yr

Corrected a bug occurring when gathering updated version.
Corrected a bug occurring when gathering weather forecast of local region when APPID wasn’t set in the ini file. Now, the weather forecast notification doesn’t show up if you don’t set your APPID. You NEED to get an APPID on www.openweathermap.org (refer to the manual).
Added a line in the RagePluginHook console at start of RealTimeSyncReborn to monitor the online version found via the update checker process

Well it works, or at least it seems to, unfortunately it seems to interpret "Broken Clouds" as "Overcast". And its idea of "Overcast" seems to be light showers ... Since its been rather cloudy here today its been raining all day in game. But so far that's my only complaint.

http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/642124483750299361/06153A0A9431FAA5685D1BECEE556CECE1E24C23/

Interested to see how it handles snow.

EDIT1:

Another weird thing, when the plugin is loaded it seems that the keyboard is no longer locked when you're in Rage's F4 console. Same goes for LSPDFR's backup and interaction menus, scrolling up though them brings the phone out, when it doesn't normally. https://youtu.be/tsYcA-yA2Go

EDIT2:

Also noticed it seems to for some reason disable ADS in first person, so I'm going to go ahead and uninstall this because it, with my previous issues, is just causing more irritations than its worth.

With forecast sync ? Well... Maybe, maybe not. I don't like trainers so... If you don't want it / like it, don't click that Download button ;)

It's alright ^^

I don't like trainers since all I would like from a trainer is doable from the RPH console...

Plus, this mod was originally made exclusively for myself and I decided to share it :)

Don't worry. I use simple trainer but I am going to install this. Yes you can sync time but you can not sync weather with it. You can manually set the weather to match real life but why would you bother now we have this mod XD.

Thanks for updating it. Will see how the mods goes.

This happened to me to. What I did was create more API keys it finally worked on my 4th key. I also waited about 20 mins after the 4th key was created before using it.

Hope this helps you.

What I did is go on the openweather website and actually search for your location. Once the page loads copy exactly how they have it. For new york (http://openweathermap.org/city/5128581) it would be "New York, US". Also check in game to see if the time sync is set in the mods menu.

Hi, I'm getting a crash report while loading the game.

I sent you the crash report in a private message.

Man, this looks like *such* an awesome mod but I'm striking out big time. Just tried my fourth additional API key and still nothing. Every time I load the plugin, it seems to load (like shows the .ini data in the console window), but the game freezes and even if I try the task manager, all I can get is a black screen every time and have to restart my PC to do anything. Any ideas at all?

This is a *fantastic* idea and I'd love to use it!! Help would be very much appreciated.

Then my game crashes.

Regardless of whether my APPID is valid or set correctly, I would suggest gracefully handling this part of your code so that a bad response by the server does not cause a crash. Thank you for this mod otherwise, it is well thought out.
