Summary 0002400: Simple current date server variable that can be overwritten
Revision 2015-08-30 20:53 by cobalt
Description Following on from here:'http://zandronum.com/tracker/view.php?id=1853#c10622 [^]'

I spoke to Torr about this last night and explained how kpatch already has a simple read only DDMMYY date variable in place. I proposed that a similar variable, but that isn't read only so that hosts can override it, should be added to Zandronum. Being able to override it allows individuals to overcome any attempt by some project to lock down their mod after a certain date.

After speaking to Blzut3 who was the main opponent of being able to get the current time/date initially, he agrees that this server variable approach is okay since using getcvar is already indeterminate so it doesn't add additional determinism problems.
