Request Increasing Match Timer

[tatatat0]

Have the timer in matches increase as the match goes on instead of decreasing as a way to tell how long the match has been going on for.

Apparently the game has a flag that reverses the game timer.

Bit 0x01 of byte 8046DB68 can be toggled on to cause the game timer to count up and avoid some complications that come with doing it manually.

The game references it as an offset (0x24c8) from 8046b6a0 (an absolute base address.)

Here's a code that lets you toggle it by selecting 99 minutes in the match settings.
(Works for both Time and Timed Stock matches.)

So, apparently the game has a flag that reverses the game timer.

Bit 0x01 of byte 8046DB68 can be toggled on to cause the game timer to count up and avoid some complications that come with doing it manually.

The game references it as an offset (0x24c8) from 8046b6a0 (an absolute base address.)

I made the code so that you can toggle it by selecting 99 minutes in the match settings.

When the match starts, the timer starts at 99:59:99 and immediately rolls over to 0 to begin counting up. I'll try and tweak the milliseconds tomorrow and make it a clean 00:00:00.

Thanks! I tried working on this for many hours but could never figure it out.

NP. I made a quick update to the code so that the starting timer reads as 00:00:00.

I've edited the post. Let me know if there are any issues~
