time2text() now takes another argument for the time zone. Additionally, client.timezone and world.timezone vars have been added.

This issue has been resolved.

Currently time2text() will convert eg, world.realtime (GMT timestamp) to the server's local timezone.

I would like the ability to create a formatted date/time string in GMT/UTC.

Optionally byond could expose the timezone offset byond uses for time2text() via something like world.timezone
