So it's not possible to get server side seconds-since-epoch?

[Aule]

I'm adding features to a mod that requires an authoritative time/date stamp, so that users can report the last known time a given player was chosen as a target.

It seems that the only seconds-since-epoch functions are client-side and that there's no notion of "date" with any of the server side time functions.

This leaves me with two options:

1) Use GetTime() and just live with the fact that the "LastSeen" field will be garbage each time there is a server restart. (GetTime() returns server uptime, not SSE).

2) Use the time() function, try to figure out a way of determining what time zone the client is, and hope that their clock is accurate.


I'm thinking option 1 is by far the lesser of two evils.
