This is a place for mudlet scripts that may be of interest to others.

Datetime conversion

This script converts datetimes (for example, from channel histories) into the corresponding date and time from the in-game calendar:

Trigger:

(\d+) (\w+) (\d+) (\d+):(\d+)

Script:

inyear = matches[2]
inmonnm = matches[3]
inday = matches[4]
inhr = matches[5]-3 -- This includes a manual offset for the difference between the system time in EST and my local time in PST.
inmin = matches[6]
if inmonnm == "Jan" then inmon = 1 end
if inmonnm == "Feb" then inmon = 2 end
if inmonnm == "Mar" then inmon = 3 end
if inmonnm == "Apr" then inmon = 4 end
if inmonnm == "May" then inmon = 5 end
if inmonnm == "Jun" then inmon = 6 end
if inmonnm == "Jul" then inmon = 7 end
if inmonnm == "Aug" then inmon = 8 end
if inmonnm == "Sep" then inmon = 9 end
if inmonnm == "Oct" then inmon = 10 end
if inmonnm == "Nov" then inmon = 11 end
if inmonnm == "Dec" then inmon = 12 end
systime = os.time()
offset = (os.time{day=1, year=1970, month=1})
basetime = os.time{day=inday, year=inyear, month=inmon, hour=inhr, min=inmin}
utctime = basetime + offset
timestamp = os.difftime(utctime, reference)
year = math.floor(timestamp/16200000)+480
