Feature request: clock messages to indicate pause state 13/03/2021 at 13:28 #137777

Would it be possible to get the sim pause state in the clock messages?

At the moment there's various ways a client could guess, but not reliably…

Or, more generally, the game speed? (speed 0 is paused, 1 is normal, 1.5 is 150% etc - something like that)

Hi Don,

Perhaps I'm missing something, but you can tell - it goes solid red?

I've put in a feature request on Mantis 33318, no promises though.

Joe he's requesting it as a feature of the interface gateway, rather than in sim which as you say turns the clock red when paused.

Thanks very much for this - I see the message now shows the game speed setting as `interval` - 500 is normal, lower is faster, so `speed_ratio = 500 / interval`.

It doesn't show pause state but I think I can get my client to figure this out.

Pause will be in the next Loader update:
{"clock_msg":{"area_id":"aston","clock":2,"interval":500,"paused":true}}
