server always night

[drsubo]

so my server is always night time no matter how I set it up. When I restart it always starts at night time. Is there something im misunderstanding about this

// Time based

StaticDateTime[] = {}; // {0,0,0,9,1} would forces the server to start at 8am each time it is started while allowing the year, month and day to stay real time. Any values left at 0 will result in no change.

timeDifference = 0; // Server uses real time this will allow you to offset just the hour.

timeMultiplier = 4; // Sets a time multiplier for in-game time. The command range is now capped at 0.1 - 120 to avoid performance problems.

I've also tried setting It like this 0,0,0,8,0 and a few other diff times but it always starts at night. how should this be set for daytime? is there some other setting I'm missing that needs to be changed too? Thanks

Try multiplier 2

Umm. That only make the makes the game time 2 time slower. Set it to 10 if you want to see it turn day quick. Just use the map or a watch to get the ingame time. Sun comes up around 6am.

ya but problem is every restart it goes back to midnight so either way its still going to be night if I speed up time my days will also be quick and will go back to night I just need to figure out how to make it start at day. what could be causing this. makes no sense that it would start at 00:00 every time

// Time based 

StaticDateTime[] = {0,0,0,6,0}; // {0,0,0,8,0} would forces the server to start at 8am each time it is started while allowing the year, month and day to stay real time. Any values left at 0 will result in no change.

timeDifference = 0; // Server uses real time this will allow you to offset just the hour.

timeMultiplier = 4; // Sets a time multiplier for in-game time. The command range is now capped at 0.1 - 120 to avoid performance problems.

 

Starts at 6am and it will go dark about 40mins b4 a restart that is if you have the server on a 4 hour restart

I have mine set exactly as you said goatboy. The special needs server I own still starts at 03:00 ish EVERYTIME no matter what I set it to.

and why can't i simply copy/paste my lines? Even this site is more complicated than need be.

This is how our server is setup. 

 

StaticDateTime[] = {0,0,0,8,0}; // {0,0,0,8,0} would forces the server to start at 8am each time it is started while allowing the year, month and day to stay real time. Any values left at 0 will result in no change.

timeDifference = -8; // Server uses real time this will allow you to offset just the hour.

timeMultiplier = 4; // Sets a time multiplier for in-game time. The command range is now capped at 0.1 - 120 to avoid performance problems.

 

It starts in the am every time.

I have tried a large number of combos on this. The server insists on GMT and screw anyone who says otherwise!

[JackalopeHunter]

lol, is it a dedi server or hosted? If hosted put a ticket in. 

[aFuzzybuny]

Hosted at Vert. Ticket going in! LOL

[JackalopeHunter]

Yeah, James will get you taken care of. Most likely a file error.

I'm late to the party and currently playing in the dark. What file is this found in? Thanks!

:)

[Snakeyes]

NVM, found it and changed the time.

[drsubo]

yes the problem is not how to set the time is the fact the it just wont work. It seems that the server hosts have an error in file or something. it always starts at night.

So the 2nd line of your file:  StaticDateTime[] = {}; // {0,0,0,9,1}

 

Should read:  StaticDateTime[] = {0,0,0,9,1}; // {0,0,0,9,1}

 

Your line doesn't have the actual values.  Anything after // is commented out and just an example for you to follow.  You should not edit that part but put your values inside the first set of {};
