Day/night help

[razzer99]

Hi guys i have a dayz server and im trying to setup day/night on it :) So lets say i want it to follow my IRL time so at 8:00 PM (at the afternoon ofc) it turns to night on the server 

and then 8:00 AM (At the morning ofc) It turns to day again how do i do this? Is it in the HiveExt.ini file or how does that work?

 

P.s My server restarts every 6th hour (12 am 6 am 12 pm 6 pm) and so on

 

Please help me :)

in your hiveext you find the following:

[Date]
;Possible values: Local, Static
Type = static
;If using Static type, the year/month/date to set the date to
Year = 2012
Month = 6
Date = 20

[Time]
;Possible values: Local, Custom, Static
Type = static
;If using Custom type, offset from UTC in hours (can be negative as well)
Offset = -9
;If using Static type (Hour value always the same on every server 
start), the value (0-24) to set the Hour to
Hour = 11

I'd imagine a local time + a day in mid summer would achieve the effect you are looking for

[Date]

;Possible values: Local, Static

Type = static

;If using Static type, the year/month/date to set the date to

Year = 2012

Month = 6

Date = 20

[Time]

;Possible values: Local, Custom, Static

Type = Local

;If using Custom type, offset from UTC in hours (can be negative as well)

;Offset = -9

;If using Static type (Hour value always the same on every server

start), the value (0-24) to set the Hour to

;Hour = 11

You need to change the Time type to "Local", then turn off the other options by using ";" in front of each line.

 

Now having said that, "Local" time will be the actual time of the server.  Where is your server located.  If it's in your timezone then you should be fine.  If not in your timezone use the "Offset" option to pick the right timezone.

Youll need to change it to custom if you're going to use offset.
