Accurate Restart Time Calculator

[Cloud22 140]

As promised I'm releasing something i made a couple of weeks back that I found more effective then the "dll required" restart timers. Now, I won't be giving you a restart timer but I will show you how the code can be applied. Oh, and this requires extDB3 but can be modified for extDB2 I suppose or you might be able to use the original that comes with ExiLe.

Override "ExileServer_system_database_connect.sqf" and find

ExileServerStartTime = (parseSimpleArray ("extDB3" callExtension "9:LOCAL_TIME")) select 1;

then after this line add

publicVariable "ExileServerStartTime";

Save the file.

Now go to where your restart timer is configured. Add this somewhere before where it checks the hour-startHour or whatever.

_aOn = [0,3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24]; // Military Time
startHour = ExileServerStartTime select 3;
startMinute = ExileServerStartTime select 4;
startSecond = ExileServerStartTime select 5;
correcto = [];
{
	if(startHour < _x and startHour != 24) then
	{
		correcto pushBack _x;
	};
} forEach _aOn;

Now the correct amount of hours can be determined by

((correcto select 0) - startHour)

and wala! You have a fully working exact restart timer.

SO how the hell do you actually use this? Heres an ExAD example config that utilizes this.

• Config times here:
  • https://github.com/Cloudhax23/Exile/blob/master/ExAdClient/StatsBar/customize.sqf#L35
• Replace the old function with this:
  • https://github.com/Cloudhax23/Exile/blob/master/ExAdClient/StatsBar/Functions/fn_getTimerStr.sqf

And heres someone elses statusbar utilizing this.

https://github.com/Cloudhax23/Exile/blob/master/SomeStatusBar/fn_Statusbar.sqf#L10-L31

Hi all,

same thing for me. Scalar Nan:Any

You guys must have messed up. Make sure you have extdb3 and you follow it through exactly. I've been running this for a few months and have had no issues.

Hey thanks for this Cloud, If im using Infistar to manually shut down server a specific times, where could I put this ?

Am I obliged to have extdb3 ? There is no way to edit it with extdb2 ?

[tchao57 2]

Ok i'm dumb...

It works with extdb2. I forgot to add line

publicVariable "ExileServerStartTime";

 

Thx a lot guys !

It should not work in extDB2 for sure unless you modified the way it collects the local time...

This is more for your status bar. If your server restarts are static then you define the times and reference it in your script for status bar.
