Solve a mystery!
Hello Drgn! Netrve, I have a mystery I'm hoping you can shed some light on, with regards to your mod. Being new to modding Rimworld I decided to download some source code and recompile it. It seemed that your Better Time Format mod would be a nice one to start off with just to get the hang of the IDE, how to set up a project solution and compile, etc.

Well after I got used to the somewhat baffling interface of Visual Studio Community 2019, I was actually able to compile your github source without any errors. But when I tried replacing the DLL from your compiled version with my version, I discovered that it did not work! What happens is that where the clock should be, I see the letters "HHMM" instead. As soon as I go into the mod settings and then enter the Better Time Format settings, the "HHMM" disappears entirely and there is no text at all where the clock should be.

I thought you might be able to shed some light on this. As I said I'm using Visual Studio Community 2019. I use the same assembly references as are in your project solution, and target .Net 4.7.2 which I think is what you did as well. I posted to Ludeon forums and someone else agreed that it was strange that it would compile fine but that the new DLL would not work correctly. I did notice the size of the DLL when I compiled was slightly different from your DLL.

(I'm posting to discussion because I can't find any other way to contact you, hopefully you read discussion posts every once and awhile)

I figured out the problem. The source code on github does not appear to be up to date. It's one version behind, but it is the version where the clock wasn't showing up. I'm not crazy after all (at least for this reason).

Sorry about that, the way I organize my personal projects on Github is a mess. I often work long stretches without filing a single commit or I forget to push it. It's something I really need to do properly, as it isn't for a lack of knowledge...

To be fair I should have looked closer at the comments for this mod. It was clear from the comments what the problem was.

Also, good work on this mod! I'm glad to be rid of the 24-hour time.
