Need Help Setting Server Time (in hiveExt.ini?)

[StiffCookie]

Hey guys,

 

As the title says, I'm having trouble setting the time on my server. I've tried all different combinations of Local / Custom / Static in hiveext.ini and nothing seems to shift the damn time from 12:30 when starting it up! I would like it to either run locally to the server time or set in late afternoon so that there is an hour or so of night time before the server restarts.

 

Apologies if this is already answered somewhere but I tried searching and couldn't find anything apart from a guy that said to wait 5 minutes for the server to sync the time, I tried all different combinations of settings again and waited well over 5 minutes each time and it still just continued from 12:30 as always.... This is driving me mad! :)

 

Thanks in advance!

In your HiveExt.ini, you should have a section like this:

[Time]
;Possible values: Local, Custom, Static
Type = Static
;If using Custom type, offset from UTC in hours (can be negative as well)
;Offset = -10
;If using Static type (Hour value always the same on every server start), the value (0-24) to set the Hour to
Hour = 11

Depending on the map you are running, the sun will set at different times. Figure out what time the sun sets, and set "Hour =" to a time that will lead your server into the night time.

Hi guys, i have the same problem, my configuration in file HiveExt.ini is:

 

[Time]
;Possible values: Local, Custom, Static
Type = Static
;If using Custom type, offset from UTC in hours (can be negative as well)
;Offset = -2
;If using Static type (Hour value always the same on every server start), the value (0-24) to set the Hour to
Hour = 8

 

but server start always 12:30, someone can help solve the problem, I have tried many different configurations but does not work. The server is in my pc.

I use map Chernarus and i have install AdminTools too, maybe conflict with AdminTools? I dont know.....

Sorry for my english ;)

 

Thanks!

Hey,

 

Thanks for the reply BetterDeadThanZed but I've already tried that :( . All I can think of is as like remeto said, could it be another addon conflicting with the HiveExt.ini file?

 

I have removed/added the relevant semicolons in the hiveext config just incase you're wondering :) but it just seems to be ignoring anything I set! 12:30pm every time!

 

Thanks.

Yep, this is solution, put line into Init.sqf at the bottom:

 

setDate [2015, 3, 2, 5, 15];//year,month,day,hour,minute

 

bye
