Changing date and time

[CharlieP]

Isit (new word) possible to change the year, month and day either forward or back like we could using 8cars? Through the console maybe?

I believe there's a console command, but forget what it is.  Try the help command in the console, maybe?

You can just open the console and it will help you through the process of finding what you need. Typing a command without any arguments will show the help of that command. Be careful with changing the date though, it's unknown what a negative ride age does (but reports about what it does are welcome).

there are no variables listed for any date functions. Set/get date - asks for value. Entering anything returns invalid value.

I don't think there is one. "date" certainly isn't a variable accepted by the "set" command.

Are there other items the console can do besides the ones listed on github?

They should all be listed. There is possibly one set command that isn't listed that is used for debugging drawing but I'm sure no one needs to know that apart from the two of us doing the drawing functions. It's not hard to add set commands so a date one could easily be added.

It wasn't a pressing thing, just a thought of something that might be useful.

There is at least one command not listed in the in-game help  - but Github has the source code from which the game is built, so if a command isn't present there then it either doesn't exist or hasn't been merged into develop yet.
