It's already 1am over here. I just want to awake up in the morning and see the teaser trailer before anything else, although it seems unlikely...

Well, I've dug down, and their time is based on a server, but i'm not sure if local time has any bearing on it.
Something to do with
time=1181000671

The flash movie seems to get the time from that, how I don't know.

CODE
stop ();
eventDate = new Date(2007, 5, 5, 24, 0, 0);
eventMillisecs = eventDate.getTime();
countdown = function ()
{
    var _loc2 = server.time + getTimer();
    this.msecs = eventMillisecs - _loc2;
    if (this.msecs <= 0)
    {
        play ();
        return;
    } // end if
    this.secs = Math.floor(this.msecs / 1000);
    this.mins = Math.floor(this.secs / 60);
    this.hours = Math.floor(this.mins / 60);
    this.days = Math.floor(this.hours / 24);
    this.msecs = String(this.msecs % 1000);
    this.secs = String(this.secs % 60);
    this.mins = String(this.mins % 60);
    this.hours = String(this.hours % 24);
    for (this.days = String(this.days); this.days.length < 2; this.days = "0" + this.days)
    {
    } // end of for
    for (movie in this)
    {
        if (this[movie]._parent == this)
        {
            this[movie].evaluateFrameFrom(this);
        } // end if
    } // end of for...in
};
MovieClip.prototype.evaluateFrameFrom = function (variableClip)
{
    var _loc2 = this._name.split("_");
    var _loc4 = variableClip[_loc2[0]];
    var _loc5 = Number(_loc2[1]);
    var _loc3 = 1 + Number(_loc4.charAt(_loc5));
    if (this._currentframe != _loc3)
    {
        this.gotoAndStop(_loc3);
    } // end if
};
server = new LoadVars();
server.onLoad = function (ok)
{
    if (!ok)
    {
        trace ("Server error! Unable to obtain date from server");
        return;
    } // end if
    counter.onEnterFrame = countdown;
    counter._visible = true;
    this.time = Number(this.time) * 1000 - getTimer();
};
server.load("gettime.php");
counter._visible = false;



Any flash guru's care to decipher that? I'm not so brushed up on that sort of coding.

Also, if this isnt allowed, please edit/delete, thanks.

Edit: The php is server side, counting down in seconds.
Why it's different for some people Im not too sure


LowbrowDeluxe
Glad to see I'm not the only one who checked the sauce.  Was hoping they'd hired some idjet to do their PR/webpage and the link was already there just commented out.  No such luck.
amon
yeah i understand that - it says if there is at least one fan whinning about oblivion with guns the teaser will autodestroy itself. after turning into our president's new year speech. which causes the same effect basically.

I am not guru, but it seems to calculate time locally if there is no value supplied by server.

Folks, I live in Virginia in the same time zone as Bethesda and it is only 7:49 PM on June 4. It will likely be another 14 hours before the teaser is posted. Theoretically, the teaser could be made available anywhere between 4 and just over 24 hours from now.

Relax. When it's up, it will be up and we can all watch it. Chill out.
rfalias
I think it is from the server, via
http://fallout.bethsoft.com/gettime.php

i believe it returns in seconds
server.load("gettime.php");


Edit:: NM, looks like Milliseconds hmm...

Pure nonsense. At least it isn't as bad as the NWN2's toolset prerelease.

When they wake up in the morning and go to work, we will see the teaser. That should probably mean about 14:00 for you and me.
frank_online
Yeah, I've decompiled that timer also. It shows nothing interesting other than the fact that it's counting down to 00:00.
Did the same thing with the music player, so now I have the theme music on repeat in Winamp, hehe...

Do me a favor, everyone who's countdown is at 00, go to

http://fallout.bethsoft.com/gettime.php and paste the results here.
For my bored and twisted personal curiosity


Also, the countdown timer means nothing for the release of the video.
Like the images, its when they put it up. Going by the past, its around 10:00 AM EST.
EST time is -5:00 GMT.

Its enough posting that, it seems that php getdate works fine, but flash for some reason does not read it.

And there is no point to research that anymore, because probably everyone is staring at 00.

What a let down! I was hoping for a nice Fallout trailer in the morning after some earth-shattering bad news I heard yesterday.

Hopefully I'll get it before the day ends.
Talaran
I'll try again. People, it isn't happening yet. It is now June 4th, around 8:00 pm here. There are still 4 hours until midnight. I seriously doubt any Bethesda people are going to go into work to post the teaser at 12:00. It isn't going to be posted until June 5th, Bethesda time, at whatever time Bethesda decides to post it.

http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/

You may be able to find your time zone here, you should also be able to find Bethesda's time zone. It doesn't matter what time it is where you may be; the teaser will be posted on Bethesda's schedule. Bethesda is in the Eastern Standard Time zone.

Maryland Time Zone

Maryland is in the Eastern Time Zone in the United States of America (USA). Eastern Standard Time (EST) is 5 hours behind Greenwich Mean Time (GMT-5).
rfalias
I've got it!

this.secs = Math.floor(this.msecs / 1000);
this.mins = Math.floor(this.secs / 60);
this.hours = Math.floor(this.mins / 60);
this.days = Math.floor(this.hours / 24);

that time you all posted is the time left in MS.

Take that time, divide it by 1000, divide that by 60, then 60 again, then 24.
That is the hours left, but it seems off, or there is some calculation i missed.
It returns about 13 or so.

As far as the 00 for some, only thing i can think of is its borked.



Also, either way, it really doesn't matter because the countdown is not posting images.
Like i said earlier, regardless of timezone, about 13-14 hours at least before you will see a trailer.
Brazuca
Just 4 to 40 hours left for the trailer.

I actually think it is, with enough dividing and other stuff in that script for the flash thing, it looks like it points to 9am est, but that could be purely coincidence.
But since the timer goes days only, it can't get very exact
But Ill stick with my bet of 9am EST.
