Latest Update
I completely rewrote the Clock - Tamriel Standard Time
It has now a much better performance, a pretty code background and many more features.
Check it out!
This legacy version should still work for a long time, but will not receive any updates anymore.
Overview
This addon Clock - TST adds a completely customizable and moveable label to the game which shows you the current date and time of Tamriel and of Earth (linked to your system time, thus it is accurate where ever you are).
Additionally, it also shows the current state of the moon and the remaining time to the next phase.
Updates
The last update 1.0.0 brings you a fixed Fake Lore Date and an improved fragment handeling (no more warnings when opening the menu). The FLD will show you the current week day, day and month month in the real world with a lore name.
Update 0.7.8 added independently sizeable moon and phase labels with a customizable look of moon label independent of the clock label. It has a improved moon alignment inspired by Kenza. it also is now fully translated into French (all thanks to Fifish).
With update 0.7.6 comes a Japanese translation thanks to @BowmoreLover from the ESOUI community.
Together with the new localisation, Clock can now set to show 0 am instead of 12 am at midnight with the 12h setting.
Since 0.7.2 also with Russian localisation! (next to English and German).
With Update 7 a new background feature was added. The Clock - TST never looked that good before. Check it out.
Additional to that and a few bug fixes, you can now have your real time next to the Tamriel time instead of beneath.
You can use this addon together with Harven's Dwemer Clock to get the in-game Time as a fantastic looking, animated clock. Install both addons then right-click on the Dwemer Clock and click "Use Tamriel Standard Time Clock" option. You can change the size of the Dwemer Clock by clicking on it (left mouse button) and then scrolling with your mouse wheel over the Clock.
Check out kerb9729's Addon for Clock - TST: Midnight. It will show you the time until midnight.
Follow the Clock on GitHub to always get the latest beta/alpha Version (caution: unstable)
I will release every stable build here as soon as possible!
If you like an offline desktop application of the Clock to see the current time in Tamriel where ever a PC is, search no further and look here (still an alpha Version)
Features
This AddOn will show you the current time in Tamriel.
It is displayed on the Interface wherever you want it to be - completely movable.
You are also able to set the size, font and style of the clock to your liking.
The time in Tamriel is not a fact.
There is not function in the API which gets us the length back.
Many people right now are trying to figure out how long a day is.
Zenimax Online stated in their FAQ that the time is a bit less than 5h, but after many tests, I am sure it is 5,83h long.
If you agree with me or not is up to you.
You are able to customize the length of the day easily in the Clock - TST settings.
This can be done to a precision of seconds.
The time could be off after a maintenance or something else.
With the settings menu or commands you can choose one out of four times to synchronize the clock.
For example, you see the sun right under your South needle of the compass.
You are sure that it is noon right now.
No problem: Just write /cl noon in the chat or use the "Noon is now!" button in the settings to sync your clock.
The best way to sync your Clock is to set the clock to noon at noon and wait a day or more (in-game).
Then set your time (at noon again) so that your clock shows exactly 12:00.
When this is done you should have a perfectly synced clock
Noon is best because you can see the sun and you have a compass
So just wait until the sun is right under you South sign at your compass.
Right now, the settings and the Clock is localized in English, German and Russian.
If you are from the US or any other country which uses a 12-hour clock, you are able to change the clock to that format too. You can even hide the am/pm signs.
Of course you can use the formats: 12h or 24h wherever you are from.
You can also hide the 0 before a single number: 01:12 -> 1:12.
I personally love to see the seconds pass by. It is fun to see if they reach the zero or step over it (because of the game to real time ratio). It is like the screensaver of a DVD player... you have to watch for some reason.
If they distract you too much - like me - or you just don't want to see them, just disable them.
You can disable to show seconds in the settings menu.
You can let the Clock AddOn show you the current moon phase and the time to the next one.
This feature is like the time not based on a fact but on an adjustable algorithm.
After many months of studying it, I am sure the one cycle is 30 Tamriel days long, but you can still change the length of the different phases.
You can customize the length of a moon phase at the settings menu.
Clock does not stop there.
You can also let the Clock show you the current lore date on your screen either as a real calculated date or a fake one representing the current real date as a lore date.
The look of the time and date are fully customizable.
Write a String like this in the text field in the settings:
_DDD, _D day of _MMM _YY _hh:_mm:_ss
It will return you a date looking like this:
Fredas, 4th day of First Seed 2E 582 07:09:08
If you want the Clock will also show you the current real date and time as customizable as the lore time and date.
TL;DR
Clock - TST gives you a fully customizable lore- (and real-) date and time system with moon cycle integration.
If you want a new feature to be added too, feel free to suggest it here.
Commands
You can easily change all settings in the menu:
The panel can be called with writing the command /clsettings in the chat.
Or To open it press "esc" -> choose "settings" and look for "Clock - Tamriel Standard Time".
If it is too much of a hassle for you, there are also chat commands.
The meta command is /cl
/cl active toggle the clock on or off
/cl date toggle the date on or off
/cl ldate toggle the lore date on or off
/cl fldate toggle the fake lore date on or off
/cl help will give all available commands
/cl moon toggle the lines for the moon phase under your clock on or off
/cl rt toggle the Real Time on or off
/cl reset resets the clock to the default values (all saved values will be lost)
/cl resetUI resets the changes only to the clock look
/cl sec toggle to show seconds on or off
/cl show shows the length of a day and the upcoming times in real world time
Synchronize the Clock
/cl midnight will save the current time as midnight
/cl sunrise will save the current time as sunrise
/cl noon will save the current time as noon
/cl sunset will save the current time as sunset
/cl us Toggle am/pm format on or off
Known Bugs
Clock will "jump" around if you activate or deactivate the date functions
If you notice one please use this link to report it.
It will help me a lot.

Great addon! Here's an issue report.
Hi
 This is a great addon. I'm on the NA Megaserver. I set the clock to midnight using the /cl midnight command (the buttons in the Settings don't work) and when I logged out and then back in, the time had reverted back to default – i.e. it had forgotton that I had corrected it. This happens every time I set it and log out and back in. Seems like you have some cool ideas for the mod and I look forward to seeing them implemented. Cheers, Frimlin |

Re: Re: Great addon! Here's an issue report.
I have a couple of questions for you: Do you plan to give us an option to hide the seconds? Is it planned to allow us to move the clock? Thanks again. |

Thank you for your feedback. It is always great to hear new ideas.
I love watching the seconds pass by (maybe because it is a sign that my clock is working properly  ) and had never the thought that someone might want to hide them - it is a simple task to hide them and I will definitely put it in the next version.I am working right now on a new version [0.45] which will implement, next to this feature, a new time system. Maybe you noticed that the time is off after one day, that is because of my old time system (which was really hard implemented in my code) calculates with a 6h day - but it is more a 4.75-5.75h day in Tamriel. As a result I have to rewrite the whole time system... but the good side of that: I will try to implement your other wish too and make the clock moveable (in fact I will even try to let the user decide what color, font, size and font style the clock has). This will take some time (and if my rewrite is bugged even longer) but I think it is worth it. |

Thanks for being so amenable to those requests, Tyx. Your plans to update the mod sound great, and I look forward to checking them out.
And by the way, yes the time setting save fix in 0.41 worked. |

Thanks you all for your comments
I finished and uploaded a new Version you can now set you own length of a day. Yes a moon cycle would be really useful but also difficult to sync right. I have the feeling we have full moons for days now at the EU Server and sometimes with and without spawns. (I looked for vamps for days and got infected with ww while writing code. When I got back in eso to debug I was dead and had the curse  )I could write a moon algorithm first before trying to implement a animated clock to the map... makes more sense anyway^^ Thanks for the link MrND07 btw. So from that link in real time: 1.5 d = full moon 2.5 d = to new moon 1.5 d = new moon 2.5 d = to full moon 8d = moon cycle I will try to implement that tomorrow or so... With a 8 days wait to test the data it should be implemented as soon as possible^^ EDIT: Btw: to best sync the Clock Addon simply set the clock to noon at noon (obviously ) and wait a day or more (ingame) then set your time (at noon again) so that you clock shows exactly 12:00.When this is done you should have two things: First a exact time interval of one day Second a perfectly synced clock Noon is best because you can see the sun and you have a compass So just wait until the sun is right under you South sign at you compass. Please tell me your settings of the day length so that I can set them as default if they are identical to each other and mine.

you're welcome
another point you have to consider is the weekly maintainance windows, is the time stopped during these windows? or is it constantly going on? or is it reset on server start to a default start time? |

I will release Clock version [0.5] with moon phase support very soon - but I am not sure if it works properly it is hard to test wit a 8 day wait period...
It is, like the time function, fully customizable (the text is linked to the time so it has the same settings but you can choose your own phase length)
The Clock functions work with a UNIX time stamp. This means that you set a time as midnight (it will be calculated back to the time at midnight if you use the noon command for example) and it will be a absolute time in seconds since 1.1.1970 00:00 UTC. So a maintenance has no effect on your sync if - and that is the big question - the server work the same way. But if the server stop the ingame time during maintenance then you time sync will be off and you have to manually resync it. I don't see a way then to compensate that because the maintenance time is never the same length. With the moon phases is an other problem. If the time is calced trough the maintenance there shouldn't be a problem either... if not there is a huge problem. To sync the time you have to wait ~ 20700s which is not that big a deal. To sync a moon phase it is much longer and I have to think of a way to link the changes in the sync of the time to the moon phase... Lets hope they don't stop the time until we know more^^ EDIT: To set the correct time for the moon phases as default values it would be great if you could post your time (and server) of a start of a moon phase and the time when it ends

Could you possibly add Date too? And Real world date and time option? As it is I need 3 different addons to display this.
Thanks for a terrific addon |

It is not planed to implement something like this in the main Addon... but maybe I can offer a little patch implementing this - if it is not to much work that is. The real time will be fixed under the game time clock and the date under the real time. No settings. If many people are interested in this patch I will implement it in the main Addon and create settings to customize it and (maybe) make the clock and date movable with the option separate or fixed with the clock... But my main goal is right now to implement a functional moon cycle icon and improve the moon algorithm and default values. I will upload the patch with the next Version [0.52] but due to my studies right now, you have to wait a bit. Maybe Friday or at least Sunday. EDIT: One question: Do you mean date like 22th of april or the "elder scrolls" lore equivalent? EDIT2: That is what it will look like - it was easier than expected

I'm just wondering..
I have your addon and the other one that seems to be popular (TamrielTime). While both addons show more or less the same time, the time itself differs by 50 minutes. Howcome ? How can I know if your addon or the other one are correct? I preffer yours at the moment, since its RP-friendly

The OS Time is a static time and is as exact as a time could be (at least in lua [language of the Addon] that is) My Addon on the other hand shows you the exact (or not so exact if not yet synced) ingame time. So you don't have to look to the sky and/or guess which time it is. The function to show realtime in addition, will be implemented in Version 0.52, as requested by Saftsuse, but it is not part of the current Addon. Thus both Addons are exact but show an other time.

Huge mistake, but my question still goes. Just replace "SimpleClock" with "TamrielTime"  |
