[fixed] BUG with timer_event in lua

[titi_son]

https://forum.megaglest.org/index.php?topic=7321.0 under simple bugs with the timer:
First one:
If you press Pause the timer goes on...
Second one:
If you change the speedloops in the glest.ini (i do this sometimes for example to balance factions) the timer just has speedloops 2

So the timer should be based on frames then right?

[titi_son]

yes, or you use the fastspeedloops as factor for the speed of the timer

we have 40 world fps . To be backward compatibel I think its a good choice to keep the seconds but calculate them based on these world frames.

Yes, the frames should be used for everything. In GAE, you can create timers based on world frames (since these speed up or down based on playing speed). More information.

As well, the world frames are the direct units used to calculate skill speed (the length of a skill cycle in world frames). More information.

before this gets lost IS THIS fixed now?

Try svn rev 2477 (it uses world frames and works with pause)
