Day light 24/7

[Diceman]

Anyway to make it daylight all the time?

[nedfox]

yes.

 

Set server to restart every 4 hours.

 

Open epochconfig.hpp (in @EpochHive folder)

 

Edit :

 

 

StaticDateTime[] = {0,0,0,9,0};

timeMultiplier = 1;

 

 

Safe. Run, Have fun !

 

(This sets your server to start fixed at 9am, without time multiplier. By the time your server restarts its 13:00 , still daytime).

i did this and still it's night time, 

 

i did 

 

StaticDateTime[] = {0,0,0,7,0};

timeMultiplier = 1;

 

because my server restarts every 6 hours. this is 7am in game so should be fine but it seems it dark?

[RC_Robio]

Set to {0,0,0,8,0} 

timeMultiplier = 0;

 

8am-2pm and you should be good

[Diceman]

will give that a try thanks Robio

[Diceman]

just did this it's still dark after server restart this is what i have

 

// Time based 

StaticDateTime[] = {}; // {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 = 0; // Sets a time multiplier for in-game time. The command range is now capped at 0.1 - 120 to avoid performance problems.

found my problem  :unsure: after i had a hard look at the // LOL!

 

StaticDateTime[] = {}; // {0,0,0,8,0}

[RC_Robio]

Gotta watch those comments..

StaticDateTime[] = {0,0,0,8,0};  <---

anyone know a cycle say 5 hours day light and 1 hour night, this on a 6 hour auto restart.

[nedfox]

:D  I learned the hard way, some 20 years ago already to REALLY pay attention to //  :D

 

Easily overlooked.

 

And yes, for those who wonder :

 

StaticDateTime[] = {0,0,0,8,0}; // 

 

!=

 

StaticDateTime[] = {}; // {0,0,0,8,0}

 

The 1st one is the one that works, the 2nd on is an example of what you could use, but the array itself is empty {}

It gets dark at around 17:30 , but dusk takes a while.

 

You could speedup with time multiplier 2, then you want 17:30 - (5 * 2 ) = 7:30 as start, time multiplier 2, so 1 hour before restart it gets 17:30 and a pretty short dusk giving about an hour dark.
