Show time relative to cycle length instead of day

[Skilly146]

What

NP always converts time to day hour minute seconds format, which can be annoying when researching banking and experimentation. It would make it a lot easier if the extension either replaced the ETA field with one that does time relative to cycle length, or even better added another field.
(Ignore the handwritten 'here' XD. I couldn't figure out how to add text with the snipping tool)

How

Time is formatted using the formatTime function in crux.js at line 1081

Crux.formatTime = function (ms, mins, secs) {
        var seconds = ms / 1000;
        var output = "";
        var minutes = 0;
        var hours = 0;
        var days = 0;
        var total_seconds = seconds;

        if (seconds >= 86400) {
            days = seconds / 86400;
            seconds = seconds % 86400;
            output += parseInt(days, 10) + "d ";
        }

        if (seconds >= 3600) {
            hours = seconds / 3600;
            seconds = seconds % 3600;
            output += parseInt(hours, 10) + "h ";
        }

        if (seconds >= 60) {
            minutes = seconds / 60;
            seconds = seconds % 60;
            if (mins) {
                output += parseInt(minutes, 10) + "m ";
            }
        }

        if (seconds > 0) {
            if (mins && secs) {
                output += parseInt(seconds, 10) + "s";
            }
        }

        return output.trim();

Seems like you could just create a similar function that uses cycle length instead of days and hijack the formatting whenever the ETA for banking and experimentation research are onscreen

Wait @AStonedApe isn't there already a way to change the time?

[AStonedApe]

Maybe we could add to the '%' hotkey with a third option, and the hotkey could cycle through all of them.

[Tsangares]

Or an option in the settings????

The only SAT tools got keys I knew existed were the clipboard related ones transferred from NPAgent. I don't have my laptop with me but I'll try that tonight

Both?

'%' is from NPAgent. I have a list somewhere of all the hotkeys, there's a lot and many are kinda useless imo. Also, the ledger hotkey is 'm'.

spent some time on this. with changes, pressing % will cycle through 3 time states for turn based or for real time.

state 0 - standard
state 1 - turn based: standard with turn(s) appended

state 1 - real time: ETA time with clock (this was already in)

state 2 - turn based: cycle time - standard with cycle(s) appended

state 2 - real time: cycle time - shows ticks/cycles to complete research. ETAs on ships are left as time
