FFXIV Eorzea Time and Earth Time Conversion

Time

The measurement and expression of time in Eorzea, like the real world, is governed by a fundamental set of rules. The Dusty Tomes found in various guilds explain these standards in a book called The Five Ages - An Eorzean Chronology, albeit in heavily archaic language. In-game, time can be expressed in either a 24-hour clock format, or a 12-hour format with a.m./p.m. You can also change the clock to be Eorzea Time (ET), System Time (ST) of the server you're on, or Local Time (LT) showing your current real-life time. There is also an icon showing the current weather for the zone you're in, in the upper-right corner of the mini-map.

Usage

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "time"
    c "github.com/violarulan/EorzeaTimeConvert"
)

func main(){
    // Convert a time.Time(Earth Time) to a EorzeaTime
    var ret = c.ConvertToEorzeaTime(time.Now())
    fmt.Println(ret)
    // {924 6 30 2 31 53}

    // Convert a time.Time(Earth Time) to a Eorzea time string 
    var str = c.ConvertToEorzeaTimeString(time.Now(), "%s-%s-%s %s:%s:%s")
    fmt.Println(str)
    // 924-06-30 08:01:22

    // Convert a Eorzea Time string to a time.Time(Earth Time)
    // For golang time format is restricted to "2006-01-02 15:04:05"
    // e.g: Convert 0924-07-15 11:49:01
    var time = c.ConvertToEarthTime("2006-01-02 15:04:05", "0924-07-15 11:49:01")
    fmt.Println(time)
    // 2017-03-14 17:54:27 +0900 JST
