How to obtain in-game time?

[FG28_Kodiak]

There is no way to get the MissionfileName from a script (i am looking for it too), via CloDo - API
It would be possible (i think) if we can create Addins for Multiplayer, to get the current directory.
IGame:
gameInterface.ToFileSystemPath(..)

What is CloDo - API? Linky?

I call the managed Dlls CloDo-API. Cliffs of Dover Application Programming Interface

Sounds interesting. Where can I obtain IGame objects? I've found the type and apparently it inherits from IGamePlay. If I set a breakpoint in OnTickGame and cast it to IGame I do get an object but the IGame.BattleScriptFileName property is always null. I performed the test in SP mode. I then tried doing the same from OnBattleStarted() and OnBattleInit() but those never gets called.

I then performed the exact same test running a server thinking that maybe a "battle" is what gets started when you type "battle start" in the server console but ... no.

When are those methods called anyway?

By the way: I think we should set up a scripting WIKI...

Thats the problem in the GUI (gamePages, take a look at the tstcampaign). So wie need a addin to get access to it, or the devs creates a methods so it would be easier for us.

If you can figure out how to call the console( As per in game pilot manual Shift-tab enter tod) and enter "tod" you can gather the "time of day" which is the mission time at that point from mission start.
It is currently hard coded, that is, cannot be altered as per IL2-46(although this was un alterable between patches even for 46)
