I was playing Threefolder's newest level, Time Modifier Collect-a-Thon, and thought to myself, I wonder how much time I have left in bonuses... So I speedily wrote up this little script and it works... apparently. Basically, it appears as a small timer underneath your normal timer, which shows you how much time bonus you have remaining. It hides if it's not needed, and shows when you grab a Time Modifier.

Oh, and pictures! I almost forgot pictures!


Shown: Bags of Time
Level: Time Modifier Collect-a-Thon by Threefolder


Shown: Totally Compatible

So what are you waiting for? Go get it!

Download URL: cl.ly/code/353K3O2j0n1r
Direct Download: cl.ly/code/353K3O2j0n1r/mod_tmtimer.cs

Installing
1. Download mod_tmtimer.cs from the link above
2. Open the folder where the copy of MarbleBlast that you wish to use is installed
2a. If you are on a Mac, right-click the application (hold control+click) and select Show Package Contents
3. Open the file main.cs with a text editor
4. Find in the file:

Quote:function onStart()
{
   // Default startup function
}


5. Add text inside the function so it looks like this:
Use whichever exec() function pertains to the version of MarbleBlast you are installing this in

Quote:function onStart()
{
   // Default startup function

   // If you are installing this in Marble Blast Platinum 1.20 or higher, use this:
   exec(platinum/mod_tmtimer.cs);

   // Otherwise use this:
   exec(marble/mod_tmtimer.cs);
}

6. Save and close your text editor
7. Open the marble folder (or platinum if you are using MBP 1.20 or higher)
8. Place mod_tmtimer.cs in that folder
9. Open Marble Blast and verify that the installation was successful by opening the console (~) and looking for Initializing TimeModifier Timer scripts in MarbleBlast Gold near the bottom of the console.

Thanks, and I hope you enjoy!

Looks awesome and very useful! I'm guessing this will make its way into 1.50 in some shape?

It may, it may not. I'll have to ask Matan on specifics about that.

Awesome! I've always wanted to have something like this, especially for levels like Diamond Seeking Fun!
