day and night

[haremo 8]

Hello . Where can I change and how to set the day and night on a server . I restarting every four hours and wants three hours the day and one  hours night

You need to add this script on your server:

if (!isServer) exitWith {};

while {true} do
{
	if (daytime >= 19 || daytime < 5) then   // after 7pm and before 5am time multiplier changes
	{
		setTimeMultiplier 10      // adjust this value for slower or faster night cycle ( 24 hours will take 1 hour )
	}
	else
	{
		setTimeMultiplier 5      // adjust this value for slower or faster day cycle  ( 12 hours will take 1 hour )
	};

	uiSleep 30;
};

And put this start code in your init.sqf:

if (isServer) then {
[] execVM "addons\time.sqf";			    // Time
};

Create a folder called addons in your MPmissions and put the script inside, like this: "addons\time.sqf";

If you have any questions just talk... =)

Sorry for my bad english.

Has anyone modified their cycle so it would start at dawn (morning) when the server restarts and progress into night?

This would follow the natural progression of a day for a server cycle. 

It would be night for about almost the last hour.

I found this was perfect as other mods did this as their standard day/night cycle.

Right now you log in and it seems that it's progressing to night shortly after the server restarts.

added to server but still full daylight all 4 hours..

do i need to change

 

class Time
    {
        // Uses Dedicated Server time as ingame Time
        useRealTime = 0;

        // Will overide RealTime
        useStaticTime = 1;

        // time in ARMA FORMAT << CONFIG
        // https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setDate

        staticTime[] = {2039,10,24,12,0};
    };

 

to use real time for this or not?

Why so complicated using a script?

Set your time to static at lets say 9 in the morning and adjust speed of time with

setTimeMultiplier

in the initserver.sqf

3 hours day 1 hour night with fog

if (!isServer) exitWith {};

while {true} do
{
    if (daytime >= 18 || daytime < 6) then
    {
    	1200 setFog [0.9,0.05,20];
        setTimeMultiplier 12
    }
    else
    {
        setTimeMultiplier 4
    };


    uiSleep 30;
};

edit config.cpp in exile_server_config.pbo

	class Time
	{
		// Uses Dedicated Server time as ingame Time
		useRealTime = 0;

		// Will overide RealTime
		useStaticTime = 1;

		// time in ARMA FORMAT << CONFIG
		// https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setDate

		staticTime[] = {2039,10,24,6,0};
	};

Moved to serverside problems

Maybe someone could help.

Im looking for

1 hour of day

1 hour of night

then back to 1 hour of day

if i set the setTimeMultiplier to make time faster wont that effect server performance tying to cycle at a fast rate?

would not just a quick change from 1 static time like 12pm real time then switch to like 10pm for night then back hour later?

may look fast when it switch's but its not trying to rush the cycle
