Time format on saveslots

[Karrion]

I want to have the time in the saveslots as the format "MON 16.11.1952", however I can't find anywhere in the documentation how can I put the day in uppercase and just the first 3 letters (I tried using !u as it said it could force uppercase and didn't work), or how can I put the month in number instead of letters. Any help is appreciated.

In screens.py under screen file_slots change this line to this (it's on line 648 if you haven't added anything to this page)

Code: Select all

text FileTime(slot, format=_("{#file_time}%a, %m.%d.%Y, %H:%M"), empty=_("empty slot")):

%a changes it to the short version of the month and put periods in between the month, day, year, also changing it to %m for the month number version. Here's a reference for these https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_datetime.asp

Though, I'm not sure the best way to make the weekday all caps. I don't think renpy already has certain libraries you'd use for this? I tried .upper() as well and it didn't seem to change it. Maybe someone else has a suggestion. Though, if you're willing and it's important enough, you can do some extra steps to make this happen but this code I wrote up gives this outcome:

Also, you can easily remove the commas if you wanted it to look just like your example which doesn't include those.

Ah, yes, thank you! I was looking for format options and couldn't find anything in the ren'py documentation. The all-caps thing is not important so we'll just leave it as-is.

Yeah anything with stuff like this, you might find more info by looking up python documentation since this just has to do with time formatting in python
