Help with formatting .lua file for a calendar with an intercalary month
I'm currently working on drafting a custom calendar for my world and I'm about 95% of the way finished, but I keep running into issues with the implementation of an intercalary month. Specifically, I'm having issues with the day of the week being properly calculated for the month immediately proceeding the intercalary month.
I want the intercalary month to last 5 days (6 days in a leap year that occurs every 4 years), and I want this month to occur between the 6th and 7th months of the calendar. The days of the week line up as they should through the first 6 months and the intercalary month (e.g. the last day of a month being a Friday leads to the first day of the next month being a Monday), but when the intercalary month ends, the first day in the 7th month of the calendar resets to whatever the first day was for the start of the year. For example, in year 1, the intercalary month ends on a Friday, but then the 7th month begins on a Wednesday.
What changes will I have to make to the .lua file to get the days to display properly?
I have attached the .lua file and the db.xml files for the calendar to this post, but I have provided the specific details of the calendar below should they be needed:
- Total Months: 12
- Days per month: 30
- Days in intercalary month: 5 (6 during leap years that occur every 4 years)
- Days per week: 7
