Couldn't this come down to a simple set of defines defining each part (month, day, year) instead of 650336715? On a related note: I am toying with the idea of starting a mud at 0... beginning of human existance with players (cave people) wearing leather skins, carrying clubs, killing dinosaurs, etc, ... and progress through time 1000 or so years at a time until we zoom far into the future. And adding a year or era flag to certain objs, wld, zon, etc so they don't randomly load items and areas intended for future use. For this though I am going to have to be able to adjust time quickly and on the fly. If I come up with anything beyond my normal undocumented hack-a-crack coding style I'll upload it.
